Think about the number

I thought thjat this will be an easy one but some of you said that it is a 1966 Plymouth Fury Station Wagon. Yes it is a 1966 Plymouth Fury Station Wagon, but which model Fury I, Fury II or Fury III. THerefore I gave a hint regarding the numbers. The correct answer is 1966 Plymouth Fury III Station Wagon. You can identify the Fury III model on the batch in the grill, the chrome strip that runs from the lower edge front fender until the taillight and the chrome insert at the front fender. The Fury III were the upper line Fury with side chrome and plush interior. Fury II was the mid class model with a chrome strip that runs only around the belt line, while the Fury I was the simple base model with out side strip. Some times the internet is a not the source that gives you the correct answer. I can recommend the American car Spotter's Bible 1940 - 1980 as an offline source. The correct answer wer sent in by: otherunicorn thatz4u Bucky Thom Congratulations. Sorry to those guys which said it is a fury.

I thought that I had posted the answer yesterday, may be I'm getting old?

I saw this tiny car at a local car show. This 1968 Savio Jungla 600 is based on a Fiat 600D and follows the design concept of a Mini Moke or a Citroen Baby-Brousse except for the rear engine. Designed by Fiat and Around 3200 cars were build from 1965 - 1974 by Savio. Most of the cars were used by Italian Police or forestry use.

I can't beleave it that you have no idea. Let see I'll sent a hint if the response is low.

This car is was planned as a luxurious, prestigious car with focusing to replace the Citroen DS in car fleet of the Elysee palace. In 1966 Renault and Peugoet had agreed to develop a luxurious car. Renault build three different prototypes (fastback saloon, 2.5 box saloon and a saloon). The interior had longitunal adjustable rear seat and a two zone air conditioning. The body of the fastback saloon was inspired by the innovative Renault 16. Peugeot was responsible for the engine but the did also saloon. While Renault designed the car themselves Peugeot commissioned Pininfarina to do the job. The market for such a car was too small and the investigations in development and manufacturing of the car leads to a stop of the project in 1967. The engine design lived longer, not as a V8 but as V6. Based on the V8 the Renault-Peugeot-Volvo joint venture developed the legendary Dourvin 2.7l V6. The Renault H was powered by a 3.5l V8. The internet shows different years for this car one says 1966, the other 1967 and also 1968 were mentioned. Therefore these model years are correct.

Diagonal tires are bias ply tyre. Sorry for the bad german english translation.

This is a car from the "Wirtschaftswunderzeit" in Germany after the war. it is a 1951 Borgward Hansa 1500 Sport Cabriolet. The Borgward Hansa 1500 was a fairly fast car at 121 km/h compared to the competition (Opel Olympia; Mercedes-Benz 170 V). The sports convertible presented in 1950 even had an engine that had been boosted to 66 hp at 4400 rpm. This meant that buyers could race along the then-empty German motorways at 150 km/h. With the rear swing axle and diagonal tires, however, this was a death-defying undertaking! The pinnacle of luxury at Borgward in 1951 was the convertible based on the Hansa 1500 with a body by Hebmüller. For an enormous 12,300 DM, you not only got exclusivity, but also four seats. The body was manufactured at HEBMÜLLER. Correct answers were sent in from Richard Bartrop Bucky thatz4u otherunicorn Ace-Garageguy Well done, congratulations

In 1954 the Council of Ministers of East Germany decided that a small passenger car has to be build to mass motorising East Germany. It should have 2 proper seats and 2 smaller sats and should weight no more than 600kg (1322lbs). Due to steel shortage it should have a plastic body.

If you thought that a Pontiac Aztec is ugly what about the 1977 Leata Cabalero. The car was manufactured by Stinebaugh Manufacturing Company in Post Falls, Idaho. Don E. Stinebaugh had come up with the idea of converting Chevrolet Chevettes into small luxury cars. To do this, he formed special body parts, again from fiberglass. The Leata Cabalero (written with only one "l") was modeled on much larger personal luxury cars, but from the front it was also reminiscent of the first generation Toyota Cressida. Again there was a coupe and a pick-up. For the latter he built a frame to give the Chevette's self-supporting body the necessary rigidity. The Cabalero, presented in 1977, was much easier to build than its predecessor. Around a hundred examples were produced, but none of them made any money.
