Name That Car!

yep its french.

Is mine really that good lol....

No, the problem with France, besides that it is full of French people, is that it's hard to decide what time period their cars are.

1950s.

Ok, it is pre-1955 but post-1945

I need some sort of directory, not only sorted by country and make, but by model, and time period, with pictures.


That would own this thread

OK, this is what you have, it is between 1945-1955, French. I'll even make it 1950-1955, the car pictured is between those years. It featured a electromagnetic Cotal transmission and was powered by a 3.5 liter 6 cylinder.

I've got one :) Got it for 3 pounds sterling on eBay :) No you can't have it. :p

Possible huge hint for someone - I've been thinking it's a Talbot-Lago/Lago, but I'm on dial-up for the rest of the month and I can't be bothered searching around for pictures of the different models. Someone else may want to though :)

Mines really that hard eh? the model number uses numbers 2-5 combined to make a three digit number.

Ok maybe I'm getting a little carried away.

You mean is it a pos.... :biggrin:

:lol:

Well, it only shows cars officially sold in the UK, in regular production levels, during 1945-1970, which represents only a minority of the cars I've correctly identified so far ;)

I still can't be bothered dealing with this dial-up to look around for cars :p

Is it a Delahaye Type 235?

FINALLY!!!!!! THANK YOU MARK. to be specific, its a 1935 Delahaye 235 Figoni Coupe.

Lying to us certainly didn't make it any easier.

Wow, Typo LOL. I swear I did not notice that haahahhahaahaha, I'm sorry. I meant 1953.

Damnit have to come up with another one now.

Hold on a tic

looks like a Rover or something.....

Correct country, but a totally different vehicle, as far as I know not using any Rover parts.

It is a 2 door, 2 seat roadster.

Would it be a Morgan?

Nope. The car was actually a joint project between an established (and still existing) British manufacturer, and a lesser known (and, as far as I know, not still around) small American car company.

what ever it is, it's a really bad picture lol.

Mind if i cut in.. I wanna say aston, but i know thats not it

Sorry, not an Aston Martin.

It used a 6-cylinder engine from Bristol.

Anyone? Anyone?

They were styled by Bertone.

WOuld that be an Arnolt Bristol Bolide? :biggrin:

Indeed it would :D
I saw my first one a couple weekends ago - I WANT IT!

damn, im running out of ideas LOL! Lemme think and I'll get one up.

I cant tell its a tiny pic maybe a charger i really dont know

It is American, but wrong make.

i cant tell cuz of the perspective
is that the right or the left side of that car?

i cant say lol.......look harder my friend :)

Looks like a Pontiac GTO.

Edit...

What he said...

Nope. Wrong American Arm

Mercury Cougar Elminator?

Definitely a 1970ish mercury cyclone.

I'm right, aren't I?

Good, but nope. This is a rather large vehicle we're talking.

Large as in would be considered a boat by today's terms?

Mercury cyclone would be a boat.

How am I wrong??? Look at this!

:grinno:

The vehicle I'm talking about has 4 doors if not more, and is not made by mercury but is part of that arm. Secondly, the nose is more subtle.

It's a Cougar isn't it?

Cougar has 2, not 4 :)

I know... it just looks an awful lot like one.

was hoping you got your doors mixed up :P



[edit] New guess

Montego? :P

lol, it's not a mercury, it's the same arm but not a mercury.

1970ish Ford LTD.

Vista Crusier

Mark is the closest. It's in the same family as the LTD, only BIGGER.

1970ish Ford LTD.

Damn mark. You beat me to it. My next guess what going to be a 1972 LTD but I didn't get home soon enough. :grinno:

Anyways, neither of us are right apparently.

THINK, BIGGER. I said 4 doors if not more

I don't think we believe you. :p

Some old woody station wagon = 5 doors...

hmm......jcs...

Country Squire?


I about give up :(

2004 smart fortwo

2004 smart fortwo


:lol2:

Yeah I'd say Country Squire as well. Which is technically an LTD :thefinger

hmm......jcs...

Is it american or british? If it's british I got a good Idea of what it might be...

We already covered that it is a ford.
