Same here, but we have to accept that where the good folk, whose site we play on, are based must infuence them a bit!

12: this one is the toughest carquiz I have ever seen the only detail I can see is the rear window, so I have checked Ford Consul (UK), Ford Capri (Europe), E-Type, 911, I do not believe any of these are correct

Here’s some help: That's the windshield, driver's door (with vent window) and rear quarter window of an American automobile which sold in huge numbers. The front of the car is toward the lower left of thie picture. The shape of the rear quarter window should be the most help in ID'ing this one.

This car's moniker was revived by this manufacturer, and another in Europe, more than once.

With that nice juicy pitch right down the middle of the plate, I'm going to ask for make, model and model year for #12.

Good eye! It's a Triumph Spitfire 1500

neilshouse · « **Reply #42 on:** May 17, 2008, 11:00:13 AM »

I'm guessing that #10 is a Lancia Dilambda.

Ray B. · « **Reply #43 on:** May 17, 2008, 12:23:30 PM »

#9= 1957 Cadillac (I believe series 62)

Ray B. · « **Reply #44 on:** May 18, 2008, 04:27:48 PM »

#1= 1966 Dodge Coronet ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #45 on:** May 19, 2008, 04:18:28 AM »

Not a Chrysler product of any kind.

It's a '57 Cadillac alright - in this case, an Eldorado Biarritz
