Wolseley and Riley had different braking systems for some strange BMC reason. That appears to have Lockheed cylinders rather than Girling, which IIRC makes it a Riley. bunglebus, horriblemercedes, Three Speed and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asimo Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 1938 Plymouth I reckon. Probably a bottom of the range model. The video in this link is worth a watch - for period Plymouth-ness! https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2016/03/09/midweek-matinee-sailing-along-plymouth-style-1937 I think these Plymouths are the same as the Chrysler models (assembled from kits in Kew, London) sold in the UK. I believe my grandfather had one of these when he died in 1939, but sadly I have yet to find a picture of him with it. sdkrc, Austat, artdjones and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Can anyone tell me what this is - I assume Mazda 626 maybe or some kind of Mistubishi, Australian Japanese import rebadge or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Green Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Ford Telstar. Based on Mazda 626. Australia and South Africa. DavidB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 ^^ Looks to be an Australian number plate, so I'd hazard a Ford Telstar - a badge engineered Mazda 626. EDIT: fuckit, too slow!!

Pieman Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I remember seeing a picture of BTCC star Paul Radisich racing a later shape Telstar while wintering in New Zealand in the 90s. I didn't know until I just Googled for a pic of it, however, that he had a special edition named after him - https://feather.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/ford-telstar-radisich/ (edit) Said race car...

martc Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Any ideas? There's a clover leaf at the back but no other hint at it being an Alfa (ie no distinctive grille) and is that a body builders badge at front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Here's one from Helsinki... Titled 'View to the Helsinki Cathedral along Sofiankatu street in the 1950s'.

I'm reasonably sure that it is a 1951 Ford Custom Crestliner which have the shape, distinctive fluted tail lamps, semi-covered rear wheels and a V type emblem on the boot (trunk!). However, I can only find photos of 2 door versions. Edit: Ford Custom with 4 doors shares the same features. https://buy.motorious.com/articles/news/365361/1951-ford-deluxe-custom .....but those external boot hinges are now bothering me! Edit : The 1949 Ford Custom has the same features and the external boot hinges.

RoadworkUK Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Reverse image search comes up with this Russian site, which offered this explanation via Google Translate: "A little boring, right? Then here is one of the most interesting cars of the exhibition: a home-made car on the units of the 24th Volga. The body structure is certainly impressive. But the most interesting thing there is the salon! Alas, it was not possible to take a photo, but there is even a TV! Old tube TV!" Fascinating.
