That brings back some good memories.

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

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?

 

 

[JeeExEll]

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

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

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.

A clue

It has three wheels and is old, I'm going to go ahead and tag @barrett and @LightBulbFun, and @Mrs6C for completeness.

[barrett]

It's a pre-first war Morgan, circa 1912 Deluxe model I think

[Datsuncog]

'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!

[JeeExEll]

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

[Austat]

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!

[barrett]

It's a Giulietta Sprint

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.

Has a look of AMC pacer in the doors, proposed replacement?

[Austat]

What's this? I was thinking an Alfetta but looks different:

 

[somewhatfoolish]

Looks like some Zagato weirdness.

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

Selsea riviera on Saturday afternoon, where did you see it Mrs6 🤔

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.

[bunglebus]

Australia - what's the pickup?
