Category: Car Photo Of The Day

Just another place to look at car stuff.

Answers to earlier questions.

A nice full-on view of the answers to a previous “name that car” quiz. Thanks to Roger & Kevin for playing.

Those French sure do make funny looking voitures, non?

The BMW looks a LOT like a Lancia and Maserati mated and produced a Bavarian. Odd I know. In fact when I posted the original, I thought it was a Lancia. You guys are smarter than I obviously!

Off to the archives to pull something weird out… I’ve got to stump Roger at something other than Japanese Keicars – though the though of him spending hours sifting through Google image searches on such ugly machines did warm my heart… too bad it is so hot out! 😉

WTF is THAT? (name that car!)

Thanks to Bruce Cox in Burnaby who sent me a set of photos of something even MORE obscure than the BMW 503 (I thought I’d stump you guys with that one :\ )

Unlike the elegant 503, this thing is about as ugly as you can get without going to Soviet Russia. Let’s see if you can guess this one.

If you can’t, I’ll reveal more pictures of it as hints.

Jerome got the answer, so here are the pictures:





Makes me wanna barf.

Time for another round of: Name That Car!

I actually will have to go dig in my notes to know the answer myself!

This was shot in Poulsbo, WA on a local vintage car rally a few years ago. Christopher & I won our class that day. This was the prettiest coupe in the crowd though.

I think I know what it is, but I’m wondering how many of you can spot it.

Roger, your task is to name the fraction of a car visible behind the rally staff. 😉

Update: I found my notes. NOBODY is going to guess this one right. This is such a rare bird that I’ll be shocked if anyone does get it. Guess away. I may just leave it up here forever and see if I get any correct guesses.

Oh my… Aston on Blocks

I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or shout.

I received these photos from reader (and frequent commenter) Jerome Lumley in New Zealand this evening. Apparently this happened in Auckland. he included this quote:

Somewhere in Auckland there’s a 1976 Cortina Station Wagon with a vinyl roof, louvres and a Supercheap Autos 5 speed gear knob driving around with 21″ wheels worth around $40k!

You do have to give it to the theives how they left the car in such a minimal state, balanced on merely two cinder blocks. But it does beg the question… where’s your garage and why wasn’t the car parked in it Mr. Aston-Moron?

lust

The fact that it is painted OSB just makes this one that much more desirable, no?
These cars are almost always presented in BRG or EEB.

It is a dead easy guess, so Roger, you are disqualified from the get-go. 😉

Very little car geek cred is on the line here (it is just too easy), but bonus points if you can expand my TLAs above.

enjoy…

Here we go again.

Roger says “Actually, a photo of just about any late model German or Japanese car will stump me.” OK, so it doesn’t qualify as “late model” but there’s no doubt as to it’s origin! Hai!

To be honest, I don’t remember what it is. So after I go eat some sushi for lunch (Nigiri Lunch Combo, a Bomb Tuna Roll, and a Blazing Godzilla please… oh yeah, and a large Kirin Ichi Ban.) I’ll look up my notes from when this photo was taken. I remember the marque (and it is even somewhat readable on the sign) but the exact model escapes me.

Guess the make/model/year, and maybe I’ll buy you sushi. 🙂
