    Real close! Grille looked a touch different but I'm pretty sure that the rest is correct. It wasn't anything special but i just liked the look of it. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes, it's a '66 DeVille. The still is from the episode where Tony finds out his father used to take his sister to the park every Sunday and leave him home.

    Looks like a Hornet or Concord from that picture.. I can't make out the writing... My 2nd place guess would be Dodge Aspen..

    Yeah, it's an Aspen or Volare
  • andre1969andre1969 Member Posts: 26,109
    Looks like a Dodge Aspen S/E to me. At least, it looks like it says "Special Edition" on the C-pillar. IIRC, the top-shelf Volare would've been called "Premier"? Not sure of the year, but I'm gonna guess 1978-79? That shade of forest green seemed pretty popular with Mopar around that timeframe.

    That's it Andre, it's a 1977 Aspen SE.

    It looks like the Opal Kadett, can't recall the year model. I remember as a kid my great grandfather drove. It was brown with tan interior. I can still remember comments from people...like why in the hell did you buy that? Why would you buy a "foreign" car are you nuts! He had it a couple of years until he totaled it in an accident.

    It looks like #8600 has everyone stumped. Magnette must be on vacation.

    Delahaye 135 circa 1950- is the coachwork by Chapron ?

    Re my earlier suggestion for the title of the show, apparently the one I was thinking about was Dalziel and Pascoe.

    You're close, it's a Delahaye T-148, the coachbuilder was
    Letourneur et Marchand (I never heard of 'em either.

    The car?
    The TV series?
    The actress?
    The character?

    Should be pretty easy for the older guys in the crowd.

    You are both of course right. For the record the Elan is a
    1966 Series 3.

    Well I'm cheating a little by using the background autos to help, but it looks Eastern European/Soviet. Is it a Zil? I'm not familiar enough with their lineup to get any further than that if I'm in the ballpark at all.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,676
    Yup, ZIL 4104, looks like a bad caricature of an S class grill grafted onto an old Checker, doesn't it?

    '72 Chevy Vega GT.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,664
    ZIL (115?), old commie limo. I think they look kinda Chrysler-ish.

    This company also made those Russian fake Packards.

    That front-end kinda makes me think of an '81-82 Granada, too.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,676
    Close, it's a '73 Vega.

    Andy... it's amazing where you find all of these cars.. but, the Vega can't be a '73. It doesn't have the energy absorbing bumpers that were mandatory in 1973.

    I was going to guess a 1971.

    I think that is a maserati of some sort but not sure.
  • boomchekboomchek Member Posts: 5,516
    That's an 88 or 89 Maserati Spyder i. The BiTurbo name was only on the coupes iirc.

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,664
    Could it also be a Maserati 228?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,676
    All I can tell you is the NY Times labeled that Vega
    a '73 link

    Likewise the Maserati was labeled an '88 Biturbo Spyder, as I recall they had quite a few name changes on those, weren't later ones labeled Ghiblis?

    Lancia Kappa Coupe.

    So-so Italian executive car. Also came in sedan and wagon. Relatively attractive as a wagon, boring as a sedan, and a bit awkward as a coupe (one of those larger, non-sporting coupes, like the Rover 800 Coupe)

    I was thinking that too, but then I found this 1973 Vega brochure online. I dunno what gov't officials GM paid off or slept with, but somehow it looks like they were able to pass the 1973 Vega off with dainty bumpers.
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 269,346
    They had the BiTurbo name on the verts, as well.. At least for one model year.. I knew someone that owned one..

    Poor guy..

    Aw man, that thing is SHARP!! For the most part, big Mercuries didn't really do much for me for most of the 60's, but I always liked that ~69-72 style with the hidden headlights. I'm gonna guess that one's a '69 Marauder?
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,846
    there is one like that living near me. Looks restored, but is a weird electric blue.

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,676
    First two are correct. I think the blue car in the background is a '53 or '54 Hudson, but I guess it could be a Packard. :confuse:

    I should have said Hudson. I mix up the Packard and Hudson names. I think it's like this green Hudson, 1952, in this picture?

    1965 Triumph TR4

    2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,676
    1965 Triumph TR4 Pretty good guess, it's actually a 1963 model (nearly identical to a '65 IIRC) but that particular car is the most expensive Triumph ever sold. It sold for the extraordinary price of $97,000
    at a spring 2006 auction.

    Just why someone would invest $85,000 into a ground-up restoration of such a crude, basic car is a mystery to me.
    It's an even bigger mystery that the would paint it in the worst color ever offered by Triumph.

    The TR-4 was essentially a TR-3A with a sleek Italian (Michelotti) body and roll-up windows and the TR-3 was basically 1930s technology with disc (front) brakes added. I retain a certain bemused affection for these cars having owned a TR-4A but $97K will buy the best XKE ever made or a very good Ferrai Dino Coupe either of which is many times the car a TR-4 was. Guess which I'd rather have :shades:
