Nick & I will were scheduled be gone all day long, at the All British Field Meet in Vancouver BC today. Meanwhile I’ll leave you with a bunch of mysteries for the carspotters to debate over while I’m gone working in the yard. Behave yourselves!
Note: This post was pre-written at lunchtime on Friday and set to go live around 7 am. Nick arrived home later in the day with an armload of homework, so he called off the trip to Vancouver. Enjoy the photos and good luck. (I’ll check in and see how the carspotting is going occasionally.)
top to bottom:
-Cunningham
-Buick?
-Volvo 544, w/ a Ford V-6
-NFI!
-Simplex?
-Something RHD…!
-Caddy V-12
-Straight 8, dual-plugged G.O.K
-Pontiac Sprint straight 6, one of the WORST engines ever!
-Mazda Cosmo
How’d I do? I think I got 20%!
Yes.
Maybe (have to look at my notes),
YES (damn… I thought it would be hard!),
heh… no
(another I have to check notes on),
kind of!,
NOPE,
NOPE,
NOPE,
Yes.
The hood shape, plus the location/form of the battery box was a dead giveaway on the 544.
That in-line OHC engine definitely looks GM-ish (rockers), though….?
“That in-line OHC engine definitely looks GM-ish (rockers), though….?”
It IS domestic, but NOT GM.
OK…really stumped me, there!
Also, (“Guess 2.0”) is the V-12 a ’40-’41 Lincoln?
I think pic # 6 is the Mazda Cosmo.
And the ‘not a car’ is a firetruck, but clueless as to what make!
