The car in the picture is a 1951 (I think) Toyota "Toyopet" Model SA.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_SA
This particular model was made from 1947 to 1952, and they all looked pretty much the same... so if you guessed the model year within that range you got credit. Who got it right:

Don't think of it as 3-4 hours wasted... think of it as 3-4 hours learning!

"wasting" 3-4 hours on a computer requires something with pigs and birds....
