    Wilshire and San Vicente, 1986 (I hope that's fog/marine layer), zooms well enough to pick out several:

    Too far inland to be a marine layer, unfortunately.

    Maybe a Scirocco behind the XJ?
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,328

    I was thinking a mustang but not sure. Arrow GT? or maybe a Corolla. Something blocky.

    I was thinking 200SX behind the Jag as well. Behind the Chevette maybe a first gen Seville.

    I'm going to go with a Scirocco based left front corner and the side mirror.

    Yes, FWD.

    Looks like the front of an early-mid 50s Ford pickup mated with an first gen Edge.

    Same type of thinking that brought us this:




  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,328
    I like that edge!

    I also remember the 810 being badged as an 810 Maxima.

    Yes on the first Maxima. My girlfriend's best friend had one. (this was in 1982, not sure of the car year). I was shocked when I found out how much they cost.

    I was quite taken by the '85 Maxima when it was introduced. But since they've been pretty dull.

    I liked the next one, as well. (1989?). Of course, plagued with motorized shoulder belts, like a lot of that era. That's when they came up with the tagline 4DSC. After that, meh

    I don't remember exactly when it was, but on a business trip to Cincinnati years ago I had a Maxima as a rental. I remember really liking it, then.

    Had one a few years back as a rental for a few days, and, even with the CVT, it wasn't a bad ride.

    My 1998(?) SE 5 speed was a really good car. String and reliable. Very well made. And the torque steer was very entertaining!

    Weiden in der Oberpfalz, Germany maybe late 60s, probably from a postcard so not crystal clear at zoom, but good enough so several can be picked out:

    @ Weiden et al

    Blue & White car in foreground is a Fiat 1900 -_ Fiats were built under licence in Germany at that time - particularly the little ones - but they may have imported these larger models
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,229
    Grey wagon to the right with side flash is a Ford Taunus 12 M Kombi and this particular version was current around 1958-60 I think.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,408
    I call those senior Fiats "Italian fintails", just like the BMC Farinas are "British fintails". Speaking of the Farina, there's a window shape in the right row up near the top, black car near the "P" sign that reminds me of one, between a Beetle and what might be a two tone Ford.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,229

    Yes Farina got a lot of work out of that design - Peugeot 404 BMC Cambridge Oxford family...

    Is that a Honda S600 behind it?

    I see many people are heading for cold weather again (although locally it has been relatively mild with the least snow in eons and virtually nothing in the forecast), here's malaise era Sheffield in the snow again, nice clear image zooms well:

    On this side of the pond that type was sold as a 240 series. There is a 3rd-gen early ‘70s Vauxhall Viva off in the distance behind it.

    I think the yellow car on the opposite side of the street is a Fiat 500, the original rear-engine version.

    On the snow scene, the one I don't recognize is in front of the Fiat. Looks Japanese, but the taillights don't ring a bell.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,408
    Good eyes on the Viva, ab.

    The car in front of the Fiat is a Datsun Cherry (100A).
