Missing Cars II - Solved!
« on: July 02, 2011, 07:22:21 AM »
I'm not to proud to again jump on the "missing car" puzzle bandwagon and engage in manufacturing a blatant copy. Here's another grouping of pics with the cars blanked out. I trust some will be quite easy, and at least one will be maddeningly difficult to crack. Points will be added once the cars are all ID'd.

Enjoy! :)

It's not a Galaxie, (were it a sedan, I'd suggest police departments would usually buy Custom or Fairlane trim level sedans, versus a Galaxie), but it is a 1960 Ford Station Wagon. The wagon's seemingly contradictory name, _ _ _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _   is written on its side. #8 is is locked for you, so that you may complete it.

Not many wood-grained cop cars out there. Country Sedan it is!

I have a hunch that #3 is a chrome bumper (late 60s/early 70s) MGB, but I cant find anything to support that.  Am I close?

#5 is not a Morris or Austin of any type.

Re: my previous reply, #6 is related, in a way, to a Ford. Since I flubbed the reply twice, that one's locked for you.

Here goes the only one I was sure of.
That kind of setting, a cosy house in suburbia, a middle-class couple (or sometimes a few women friends dressed for a picnic) is typical of Ford photographs in the 1950's. They may even have used that house several times.
