Saw a car I'd never seen before
That's become a rare thing, with all the driving I do... :o
Dunno if the car actually is rare or not, but I know the version I saw was US-specific. Anyway; saw it on a SoCal freeway (SR57 in the Brea Canyon, if you know the area...) going about 65 in the 3rd lane. I got into the slow lane and went 55 to get it to pass me so I could take another look... Any guesses? (I'll post it in a minute) Hint: it's a 197X car, not from a US maker.

I erased the marque's name from the front, but the car i saw didn't have it there anyway...
 Anyone? Should be super easy for Non-americans and the true car nerds. :toothless

Citroen SM? (I thought they had covers over the lights - so I may be wrong)

Sorry I ruined the fun - but you just can't pull something like that past a Yugo owner.
Actually headlight covers became illegal on U.S. cars in 1968 (as did square headlights for a while too - the B.S. we've had to put up with  )

Sure is - also in 1968 new one piece bumpers (for an example, up till 1967 VW beetles used bumpers with over-riders, in 1968 they changed to those big squarish one piece bumpers) For me this is why I usually only consider pre-68 cars as real classics, the exception being the subaru 360 which managed to escape (through many loopholes in the laws) from alot of the safety and emissions laws that were coming into place around this time.

Sweet, I've yet to see an SM. I did however while in Florida also see a car I'd never seen before...I was actually stumped by it so I made dad turn around to go look (it was parked)
 It was a Plymouth Sapporo...nothing special, I'd just never seen one before
