Category: Car Photo Of The Day

Not really a great photo, but I love the reflection of me in the bumper. ^^^^^ I look like a midget with a giant camera lens head! 😉

Can you name the car?

Reader Stephen Foskett relayed this image to me looking to ID the car. My first thought was a Cisitalia, based on the shape of the windows, then I thought better of it and guessed Talbot-Lago. Given how many Talbot’s were finished by coachbuilders this might be a tough one to narrow down, but my vote goes for a Talbot-Lago T26 from the early 50s. What do you guys think?

While on a stop on the 2009 Classic Motorcar Rally I was poking around the collection of cars at our lunch-time host and stumbled upon this hatchback. I’d never seen one before. It had the classic proportions of a “hot hatch” ala VW GTI. Very attractive little car in its own way. I’d never seen one before. Do you recognize it?

(Yes, that is the Fiat Dino from a few days ago in the background)

“…THE GARAGE!”

Aliens may have ate the Buick, but here’s your car photo of the day. Can you identify it?

I had hoped yesterday’s CPotD would lead to an epic round of guessing. Little did I know the woodwork was crawling with vintage Japanese Mini Car fans! Of course, one of the very first CPotD shots was of a vintage Japanese mini car, so I guess plus ça change!

Today’s curvaceous car photo of the day subject should be pretty easy. Do you know it?

I meant to post this on Friday as the “weekend stumper” but things got in the way and I never got it posted in time. I’m editing the images from this past weekend’s Tulip Rallye and hope to have those posted soon. Meanwhile I’ll leave you to ponder the identity of the car pictured above.
