I think you're right - I'll stick me neck out and say it's a Typ (sic) LO 2002.

[vulgalour]

About 70% of those are things I've never even heard of.  That would explain why I was struggling.  There was me thinking it was going to be a challenge this batch too.

[vulgalour]

Gone through and updated.  That Robur (#88) looks more like a later LO3000, little trim details on the front make it a better fit to my eye than the earlier 2002.

 

87 is a 1977 Holiday Rambler Motorhome

 

 

82 I now know is an Austin 20 after finding this:

 

83 is a 1928 Morris Commercial 1 Ton Lorry, managed to find some better pictures of it after running the plate through DVLA and finding that it's actually quite an active vehicle

[vulgalour]

81 might not be a Trojan after all!  In the images for 83 I found this.

 

 

That's a Morris Commerical LC5.

[vulgalour]

90 - I can only think of a Suzuki Wagon R, but it's not.  Or it is and it's just had a lot of work done.  I can't decide.

2004 Suzuki Wagon R

 

91 - Pontiac?

1965 Pontiac Catalina - Mercrocker

 

92 - Probably a Volvo, and probably a PV55, seeking a second opinion on this one.

Volvo 544 - Mercrocker

 

93 - going to feel stupid when someone IDs this, I just know it.

1955 Ford Sunliner - Mercrocker

 

94

1960 Mercury Colony Park - Zantimisfit

 

95

Ford Escort/Mercury Lynx - Mercrocker

 

96 - Suzuki Alto?

Suzuki Alto - Ghosty, Eddie Honda

 

97 - Guessing corvette, but I don't know if it's custom or concept or something else entirely.

Corvette C1 - Ghosty

1957 Chevrolet Corvette of Bob Yoas - Eddie Honda, Junkman

 

98

Hot Rod Chassis & Cycle of Addison's "Kosmic Outcast" - Junkman

 

99 - just the blue one, please.

Blue: 1968 Chevron B8 BMW - Eddie Honda

Green: 1959 Lotus 15 - Eddie Honda

[mercrocker]

93 - 1955 Ford Sunliner

[mercrocker]

95 has a US Ford Escort/Mercury Lynx look about it.

[mercrocker]

91 is a Pontiac - a 1965 model, probably a low-spec like Catalina

[mercrocker]

I think the Volvo is a 544 as for the others - Junkman is yer man when it comes to those US customs

[Ghosty]

The wheels on 95, the double fronted police car, make me think it's made of Fox Body Mustangs. Definitely Ford anyway.

97 is a custom Corvette C1.

The pink car is definitely an Alto, and I agree that the first one is mostly likely a variation of Wagon R.

[quicksilver]

76 - the bus on the right (DBC 190C) is actually an AEC Renown rather than a Regent V. They both used the same grille and cowling but the Renown had a lower floor. This one has an East Lancs body and was new to Leicester City Transport. Confusingly the one on the left is a Regent V but has the older style of exposed radiator that some customers preferred.

[Eddie Honda]

99: Next to the

[Junkman]

97 is Bob Joas' 57 Vette.

After he had an accident, he took it to Bertolucci's shop in Sacramento and had it completely redone.

It was subsequently shown at the 1960 Oakland Roadster Show.

[Junkman]

84 is fellow Autoholics member Jack Fields' Starliner.

Jack is also co-owner of Starlite Rod & Kustoms in Torrance.

He made a similar car for Erik Hernandez from a 1960 Olds Dynamic 88 they call "Starfire". Get it?

 

 

 

You should have seen the cars before Jack unleashed his talent on them.

They were literally dragged out of the desert sand, bullet holes and all.

 

Jack also does a lot of work for Rick Dore, who also has all his customs built from total rubbish,

because he can't stomach to cut up a good car.

 

The whole lot is a bunch of total heroes.

[Junkman]

98 is Hot Rod Chassis & Cycle of Addison's "Kosmic Outcast"

 

 

which was built from the remains of a 1940 Ford Pick Up.

 

It's pretty radical in every aspect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It won 'best of' at the 2013 SEMA.

 

Again, you wouldn't believe the smashed up, rusted, bullet hole riddled wreck they started with.

[vulgalour]

I love that green truck even more!  The details on that are just spot on.  It makes it even better knowing these cars started out as wrecks too, the amount of work that must have gone into them boggles the mind.

[Junkman]

The Kosmic Outcast has some serious engineering going on as well.

It's built around a spaceframe they fabricated from scratch a couple of hundred Quids worth of steel tubing.

[busmansholiday]

Sorry to be late and picky, but No 76, the bus on the right is actually an East Lancs bodied AEC Renown, not a Regent. This was AEC's low floor version of the Regent that could be bodied by anybody and was their answer to the Bristol Lodecker after the semi integral Bridgemaster built by them and Park Royal didn't sell that well.

[busmansholiday]

Apologies, missed the post above from Quicksilver who beat me to it.

[vulgalour]

I'll chuck some more in here and update this soon.  Got rather distracted by other Stuff .

[vulgalour]

Time for another dump of stuff in here then.  Let's see what you can figure out.

 

100 - this one has been really bugging me, as it happens.

Hand-built Russian car probably based on an Opel Rekord.  http://izismile.com/2011/06/25/brilliant_russian_man_builds_his_own_sleek_car_37_pics.html - Mercrocker for the link and AMCRebel for identifying any part of it.

 

101 - familiar shape, but I can't pull it out from the recesses of my memory.  I'm guessing something like a Lincoln or Oldsmobile.

1967 Cadillac Eldorado - Asimo, Junkman

 

102 - I think these are all Ford Falcons, maybe  mid-60s?

1962 Ford Falcon Wagon - Junkman

 

1964 Ford Falcon Sprint hardtop - Junkman

 

1961 Ford Falcon Wagon - Junkman

 

103 - Chevy, or Pontiac?  Something else?

1964 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe - Junkman

 

104 - Another familiar shape that I can't place.  Buick perhaps?

1959 Ford Country Sedan - Junkman, davocano

 

105 - 50s Chevy or Plymouth?  I can't decide.

1949 Chevrolet - Junkman

 

106 - No idea.  Something 60s.  Sunliner?

1960 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday - Junkman

 

107 - Ford again?  I'm rubbish at these, they all look the same to me :/

1956 Ford F-100 - Junkman

 

108 - I suspect Invicta or Electra.

1960 Buick Invicta Hardtop - Junkman

 

109 - There's what look like Chevy bowties on the hubcaps, but it seems a bit small and looks a bit like an Opel or Toyota.  Stumped on this one.

1969/1970 Chevrolet Opala - Barrett, Junkman

 

Bit custom heavy in this batch, not very Autoshitey, just happens to be what's at the top of my stack.  Usefully stuff that's been identified before has helped me clear some others I didn't know, so a dozen answers in here can often help identify several dozen in my reference folders.
