Thunderbird 'The American Classic' White, California | prices, stores,  tasting notes and market data

That brings back some good memories.

Sunday morning, off my trolly, sat in the local park with a cute hippy chick. :D  :D

Oldsmobile?

Yeah, I was thinking that - could be a Cutlass 4 door, or a Delta 88.

Cutlass

Delta 88. I think it's the Delta, but with single headlamps, perhaps a local requirement in Japan?

73 - 75 Cutlass.  Same body used for 1976 but with square headlights.

May be a 'Cutlass Supreme', don't know model details.

Oldsmobile?

 

1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4-door sedan.  Indicators inboard from the headlamps indicate this is either a 1974 Cutlass Supreme or a Salon trim level.  Base model S had the front indicators in the bumper.

This is the level of geekery I admire from shiters.

'Deluxe' is one of those words that's changed a lot in the last century...

I'm fairly sure I now own a wheelbarrow boasting greater ergonomic comforts than those bestowed by Morgan's designers.

Well recognised, though!

Some sort of strange mystery coupe with gullwing doors and a flip-front.  Some say it was based on an Alpine.

Last seen briefly on the streets of central London in 1982, and has never been seen since

Any ideas on what this is?

I think its a Peerless GT  looking at the lower rear window shape, but will stand corrected if wrong!

As above, it’s not a Peerless GT as that didn’t have sliding windows on the front doors.  They used a very high geared winder as used in the back of Rolls Royces where 1/4 of a turn lowered the window all the way

Am not sure if we've had this one but brace yourselves, it's serious.

I think it's a late model Land Rover 110.

Steyr Puch Pinzgauer, I think. I saw it as well! Overtook it on the motorway on Friday, in fact...

With that particular side-trim it is probably a 1958 model.

These were part import CKD and some Australian content - particularly most of the body and some engine parts.

I think the CKD components came from Ford Canada to minimise import tariffs.
