Looks like an old Ford Falcon. The taillights look like a foreign made. Maybe the car is a Holden, made in Australia ?

Sure looks like an old Studebaker Lark...

Yeah, I was thinking Studebaker too.

I'm thinking English Ford Cortina.

Rambler ?

Ugly????






























In a cool sort of Mad Max kinda way.... :D

Chris:cool:

^^^ you beat me to the ugly comment LOL !!

what ever kind of fugly car it is .............It sure has ALOT of spectators looking at it.

Not a Stude!

No, it doesn't have the front end of an early Falcon.

Not a Rambler either...

It's foreign, but from where??

pdq67

My bad.

I'm thinking English Ford Cortina.
That was my first thought also.

Jeff

From the tailights I would say some sort of Fiat or maybe Puegot

I think it's an English Ford, a bit newer version of this '66 Anglia maybe...

No it is not A holden..the closest shape to that is the EH model
No not a Cortina either the closest shape to that is mk 2
Not a An Anglia either...the cortina and escort replaced the Anglia model
And before someone mentions it its not a vauxell victor or cresta , or Ford Zepher mk 1 to mkIV, or A Aussie Chrysler valiant

The Cresta being by the closest shape to all those above , and an early 60s Aussie Falcon, but none of these
It is none of the above which basically eilinates Aussie/NZ and British.
Has the wrong lines for 50s European...audi, merc, bmw, renult, citron etc

I would go with American 60s car of some sort.

DJD the pic of the Anglia above, and even the colour is a stock factory, brings back a lot of memories...these where 'boy racer' cars back in my day, we put 1600 and crossflow engines in them.

Agreed , it's not a Cortina, Anglia or Prefect That is one miss matched car. Could be the 2nd model of the Russian Scoda. Here's a new model with similar lines :o)); but it looks French or Algerian to me and definitely not Italian.

I'm the "corn-popper car" guy from hell, and it ain't an American car by me?????

pdq67

looks like a datsun to me

Some kind of morphed 510?

I'm not looking at the car but the crowd...
Why were there so many people there?
I didn't even see that many at the IHRA nationals this year.

Not Scoda..( Cech)
And not early 60s Datsun that was like a 56 chevy that shrunk in the wash, later models where more box and smaller

Russian as suggested above??? long shot.

Being A kiwi, I grew up with all these cars ...driven most of them.

Thanks Steptoe for chiming in.

DjD has it right It's a crossbreed between a English FORD Lotus Cortina and Anglia. I would say a 64 Lotus Cortina body with an Anglia Roof. I believe the British Police used a similar model. The famous Crossworth engine has it's roots in the Anglia.

The first car I ever bought was a 69 Ford Cortina. Rallied the Crap out of it while I was in university. The engine was push rod but pistons were reverse hemi and the cross flow heads had provisions for installing a SOHC. I mounted 2 x 2bbl side draft Webers. It was a great Car. Only problem was that it was one of the 1st European Imports with McPherson Struts which I killed within one year of rallying. The car cost $1,900 new compared to the Datson 510 at $2,100 in 69. I sold it for $900 because they wanted $900 for the struts and bought a 72 Challenger 340 MAG RS for $3,800 all the while urning for a 70Z which was $5,300. I couldn't stay away from Rallying and bought a 68 Volvo 140S Coupe than a 74 GL Coupe which I have to say was one of the BEST cars ever built along with the 72 Toyota Crown. Muscle Cars were in a death trowel at this time. I ended up getting my 70Z in 76 for $1,600 and still own it; but my primary driver has always been a 240 Volvo.

By the way, Russia did Export Scoda's which looked very much like an Anglia but they had brake reservoirs made from Cambell Tomato soup cans. Needless to say they all rusted out before they sold just sitting in the car lot.
