Modern Vespa

There is a similar thread going about identifying tools. This thread is about identifying cars. Here is the first:

1960s (early) Chrylser. Maybe a New Yorker.

The Pink Panther Car.

Where do I collect my prize ?

Your scooter type is a clue ...

It's a 1960 Chrysler 300F Special Gran Tourismo.

Well, it's either a New Yorker, an Imperial or a 300.

Hard to see on an iPhone.

But, ok. A moped?

This shouldn't be too hard:

Some kind of Jag. F type?

It's a Hogwire XK120

Then what's this?

My dad had a 1953. White with a red leather interior and a black softtop.

1940's era Caddy?

Nope, not GM. and made in the same country as the XK you posted.

Ding Ding Ding!

Yes. A 1960 Chrysler 300 F GT, one of 15 made.

400 hp, 413 cu. in., 10.1:1 compression V-8 engine, four-speed manual Pont-à-Mousson transmission, 3.23:1 Sure-Grip rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes. Wheelbase: 126"

Here's another:

That's a '57 Merc TC.

An even dozen.

I can't really actually take credit for knowing that. The image name gave it away.

I had a '56 140 years ago. Awesome car, beautiful lines. I also had an Austin Healy 3000 Mark II. I spent more time wrenching than driving but they were both very enjoyable. I traded the 3000 for a '72 BMW 2002.

Yes, I kind of knew that. I thought there was a way to see the pic title by doing a quote, but couldn't remember.

Aha view image info, so what does the TC stand for?

Totally Cool. 8)

Nope. It stands for Turnpike Cruiser.

Ya gotta love some of those Continental kits. That might be the deepest one I've seen. The American car built by Austin in England that I posted had a continental kit available too - but not as deep as that Merc's!

The '57 Merc TC was a boat all on its own. Adding the connie made it almost impossible to park in a space. Look at the photo and imagine trying to load or unload the trunk.

I was impressed by that one and looked it up. Quite a car. To relate to another thread it had a tachometer. Weird. So what is up with the "connie" on the back?

My moms car.

The "Continental Kit" was popular in the '50s. It got its name from the Lincoln Continental, which had the outside spare. Later Continentals had a tire outline molded into the trunk lid, just to maintain tradition.

Lots of old street rods had them.

I didn't think think there were any AM cars on the road anymore.

Is that an Eagle?

Nope. Has a 360 in it and was made in 1972.

This was my dad's new car in 1960. A Dodge Dart Phoenix.

This will give it away...

Probably a Matador?

Judging by the humps on the fenders I say Javelin.

Picture above isn't accurate color but here

Yes, in 'mellow yellow'...

Not that I admit it much, but I owned a Gremlin.

Oops a 73. My bad

That's awesome!
