Name ALL the cars.

The parking lot at a stopover of the 2005 Colorado Grand. You can leave out the SUV’s but let’s see how many of these classics can be identified!

Just to start things off, in the upper left corner between the SUV and the edge of the photo is an OSB Jaguar XK 120. 😉
(Behind the SUV is a black VW Jetta, but it doesn’t really count!)

Start naming them clockwise!
(a trip through the link to the right namd “Colorado Grand Web Diary” might be helpful for the newbies)

  1. At 2 o’clock looks like a ~’69 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.
    11 o’clock looks like a ’57 Mercedes 300 SL Roadster. 3 o’clock looks like a Porsche back end.

    Up front, hrm, lets guess a ’57 BMW 507.

    My non-existant classic car knowledge prevents me from guessing on the others. =-) Thanks Chuck.

  3. Under the sheet is a D-Type, and on the otherside of the BMW in that same row is a C-Type. There are a couple of Porsche 356s, silver and red, to the right. I’m not super-clear on my Corvettes, but I think that’s a 56 back there. I think that’s a 190SL roadster in the back. The two pre-war cars I’ll have to ruminate on, and the burgundy car next to the BMW seems familiar but I can’t place it right now.

  4. Yes on the Jags Roger. Yes on the Porsches (Matt the red one in the back is a 356 cabriolet), I can’t recall the Corvette’s vintage, so I’ll give you a bye on the year there Roger. WRONG on the 190sl… Matt correctly ID’ed it as a 300sl roadster (’57-’62.)

    The two pre-war ones are the second most interesting, and the “burgundy” one left of the BMW is actually red, something about the light and the darker car next to it make it darker… and it is likely the most interesting and the most valuable in terms of price… yes… even worth more than the two racing Jaguars, cars pictured here… if you can believe that!

    You are missing one car and that is the red one BEHIND the BMW, which is likely impossible to guess from what little shows, but a cruise through my Colorado Grand web pages will reveal it.

  5. can I guess the red one at the left front – 6 cylinder MGC from the bonnet… one for sale locally here… you don’t see too many of them around

  6. but then I read your comment Chuck about the value of it …. so I must be wrong… the MGC was a crap car wasn’t it? so surely it can’t be worth anything other than to raving MG fans… 😉

  8. Left of the BMW is some kind of Austin Healey? I’m not familiar with models/years but the front end looks like one to me.

  9. Welcome amclint. It isn’t a Healey, but that is a good guess. In a lot of ways the AH was inspired by it.

    Here are some hints: This car launched a thousand copies, or more. It inspired three generations of look-alikes, powered by everything from agricultural 4-bangers, inline sixes, to Ford crate motors. It is immortalized in song and story. It is named after something wet. It was built in the 1940s.

    Remember too there are three more cars remaining to be named! The two pre-war machines and the white-striped one behind the BMW. (and like I said, the answers are pretty easily found in my web diary from the Grand if you can’t figure them out.)
