Thread: Name That Car

and the brown one is a jowett javelin.

Damn ! I coulda sworn it was a Peugeot 203, with suicide doors and all, but it does have that rear quarterglass...and they don't.

1957 Ford Fairlane 500

Without looking it up, I would guess that this ^ is a 1960 Chrysler Imperial.




Opps! Look at it in full size, it does say Fairlane 500 just under the fin!

Whatever it is, it is written on the side.

1958 Ford Fairlane Victoria; right-hand-drive

^ Delicious colours - chocolate, caramel and cream.

A bent-ly ?

That kid at the back is gunna get a belting.

it's a 1936 de la haye.

Saw this in Nova Scotia a couple of years ago.

its a 1959 pontiac star chief.

the spare wheel mounting is i suspect a custom job, i dont think pontiac made them like that, although given the extravagant excess of late 50's american car design one can never be sure.

Nah nose aint cobra, I dont reckon its a big healey either as that rear 1/4 window in the hardtop is different..... could be a custom top though.

Well hopefully a replica then.
It hit hard so it might be a bit twisty.

It's a 1960 Austin Healey Mk I.

Nev, where did you acquire such an extensive knowledge on cars?

Know more about British or USA cars?

i cant speak for nev, but i was brought up on these little books; cars, planes, trees, animals.

i used to get them for birthdays and xmas, i think my dad enjoyed them as much as i did.

^ Did you grow up in Australia?

Just that the book shelf looks as it's Silky Oak timber
