Harry P. Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Remember, don't post any hints or answers here. PM me with year, make and model. The answer: 1981 Ford Corcel II
bryan_m Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 im stumped........been starin at this thing and i have some ideas, but still scratchin my head!
otherunicorn Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 what is worrying is that somebody considers it to be a collectible!
Erik Smith Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I can identify certain parts of it but had to take a break after 20 minutes of "close but no cigar"...
Pete J. Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Gadzooks Harry, could you have picked a more generic car! It's a ToyNissanChevDodgeAMCeuroFordHolden 2 door hatchback from the 70's. Frankly I can only see one clue and it is driving me nuts !
Matt Bacon Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I dunno -- there can't have been many cars that came with a small-scale cut-out version of itself fitted to the windscreen... ;-P bestest, M.
matthijsgrit Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I know I should know this one... And I'm certain I've seen it before... But WHAT is it?!?!
farmer1 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I got it ! proof once again even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.
DonW Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Gadzooks Harry, could you have picked a more generic car! It's a ToyNissanChevDodgeAMCeuroFordHolden 2 door hatchback from the 70's. Frankly I can only see one clue and it is driving me nuts ! Well said, sir!
customsrus Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Wow I thought I knew what this was , but I have not found it yet. It looks like everything else built during this period. I am sure I will kick myself when Harry post the answer on Friday. Hey Harry can we get a hint. LOL...............
Harry P. Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Hey Harry can we get a hint. LOL............... It's blue...
otherunicorn Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Easy, it's a VW Bug. Are you sure? After searching that line, I wasn't entirely convinced it wasn't some rare fiberglass thing. The headlight ring doesn't look quite right!
Johnag4004 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Hi Harry, Well it's Friday, please, please, pleeeeeeeease put me out of my misery Sir and tell me, please... Andy...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm pretty sure that little car back there is orange.
Harry P. Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 This week's car is a 1981 Ford Corcel II. Corcel II was built in several South American countries between 1977-86. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Corcel Who got it right: badluck13 MikeMc george53 farmer1 Agent G customsrus kataranga 62rebel
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Ayrton Senna had several. He even did a Corcel MK II ad: Ford Corcel II by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr
DonW Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Well I'm amazed! I picked up on the 3 wheelnuts but thought it was some kind of Renault 12/15/17 or Citroen based thing but that was as far as I got. And it turns out it was based on a Renault 12! Henry would turn in his grave... Good one Harry!
peter31a Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I was busy thinking it was some kind of Audi or VW product.
Pete J. Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Well I'm amazed!

Henry would turn in his grave...Good one Harry!Yea, that was the clue I picked up on but never got to the South American connection. I saw the red centers on the rims and was looking at Fiat's. that was a tough one Harry.
DonW Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I see the VW bit, but to me it looks like a cross between a Mark 4 Ford Cortina, a '74 Toyota Corolla and a shopping trolley! The body is too big for the running gear. Bring on the next one!
Agent G Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Like everyone else I began with european cars from the 70's-80's. At some point I discovered the South American connection and it went from there to the right answer. I got it wrong once, real darn close but wrong none the less. I just knew that sheet metal in the rear quarter panels but could't place it until I saw hundreds of photos. Good one Harry. G
kennb Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 googleing 2 door generic thingy got me no place on this one
otherunicorn Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) I got the right date. I got the right manufacturer. I even got the right country. But evidently I failed to try all three in the same search because I certainly didn't get the car! http://felipestanque.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/paper-model-de-ford-corcel-ii.html Edited January 24, 2014 by otherunicorn
