Thats a maserati !  

I use to live in that neighbourhood in Amsterdam,  and it was just an old banger back then.   My friends father had a New citroen Gs break, that was the shizzle!!  How little did we know...

The Dutch licenceplates of the maser still Come up , so it's still around.

ahem, GTI 3 - the first car to be sold with the 'GTI' name I think. This model was better known as the Sebring, most have been converted to run carbs by now.

I'm not going to question you guy's knowledge, because it's far from me to say so, but the Wikipedia (sorry - I'm aware of the dubious nature of this site) article disagrees.

It suggests that the Sebring was the Successor to the 3500.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maserati_3500_GT

Or is this one of those things where it was called a Sebring anyway, so Maserati decided to use the name anyway?

I've no issue with the Chrysler Sebring, per se, although the thought of these two being compared, makes me shudder

What's this? Found it on a 70's slide that I bought an op shop, I'm not very good at all with pre-war/early 20th century stuff:

"All modern cars look the same" and always have.

Not a car that needs identifying , but where is this license plate from?

[GMcD]

Doesn't look Australian, so assume New Zealand?

Not New Zealand, in the 70's they had silver and black license plates: 

[MorrisItalSLX]

Possibly South Africa? There was a lot of Aussie tin there back in the day.

[MorrisItalSLX]

On second thought, the number plate looks like the British inspired plates of Hong Kong

[Richard_FM]

I was thinking one of the Commonwealth countries, though a lot didn't normally use reflective plates until quite recently.

My guess would be Cyprus.

Anyone know what this is?  Photo taken in the USSR and pinched from Pissedonheads.

[barrett]

Its a 1939 Buick coupe with some Soviet mods, including a grille from a Zim limo

[martc]

A hotel in Albena, Bulgaria in the '70's. But any idea what the rather Pininfarinaesque car is?

 

[Spiny Norman]

Opel Rekord.

Boom, thank you. The number plate in my photo looks like a local one, issued to a 'private owner' - so it looks like someone was more equal than the others.

 

[bunglebus]

Found another pic of one. Never would have known what it was

 

[High Jetter]

Must be a new rekord?

[bunglebus]

I'm sure this has to be photoshopped - but I like it

 

[iainrcz]

Looks like a DS 19 with the arse of a Karmann Ghia.

[somewhatfoolish]

Least useful 4x4 eva?

It's real! I really like how it looks, it's amazing how well integrated the two different bits are

Ford model BB, made from 1932-34.  Raked back grille and Ford badge on the side of the bonnet give this away as a 1934 model.

What's this, is it a Dodge (as per the tyre)? Or should it be in the homemade pick up thread? (Notting Hill Carnival, 1979).
