Topic: Solved - als096 - Rookies'Christmas

[als15]

6 cars, probably already featured in the past on Autopuzzles, as a special Christmas gift for rookies only: 6 easy points for the newcomers, if they are able to identify the cars.

Santa has an eclectic car collection!

[rickjames8]

1.  Nash Metropolitan (on skis?)
2.  1928 Model A
3.  1964 Trabant
4. 1978 Mazda Flatbed
5.  I want to say Fiat 500, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong based on the rear window.
6.  1963 Chevy Impala

Good start.
1, 2 (I assume you meant a Ford Model A, but being a rookie the answer is good as well) and 6 are correct.
For 3 and 4 I need the model name, not just the make (that are indeed correct).
5 is definitely not a Fiat.

As usual, points will be awarded at the end.

1.  Nash Metropolitan - rickjames8
2.  Ford Model A - rickjames8
3.  Trabant P601 Universal - rickjames8
4. Mazda B1800 - rickjames8
5.  Photoshopped cars - no points for this one.
6.  Chevrolet Impala Convertible  - rickjames8


rickjames8: 5 points

The Trabant is a P601 and the Mazda is a flatbed version of a B1800?

The Fiat-looking thing I'll need to work on...

[als15]

Both correct! You are going to make an en-plain.

I've spent far too much time looking for this last one.      I was going to guess a Steyr Puch, but that's basically a clone of the Fiat.    Is it Italian?   Judging by the fire escape ladders, I'm guessing the photo was taken in the USA, but that doesn't tell me much.

[als15]

Honestly, I've no idea. The wheels look like a Steyr-Puch 500 and the door like a Fiat 500. But everything else is different. I'm afraid it could be a nice Photoshop and not a real car.
Can any expert tell us more?
If it's not a real car, the puzzle closes here and you get all points.
So, I move up, to allow everybody to write a reply.

Is it perhaps a ZAZ Zaporozhets?

[als15]

I don't think so: ZAZ 965 has rear-hinged doors.

I've found this same photo on several Christmas card websites ........ this may in fact be a imaginative creation without being an actual vehicle.
Several sites list it as a "Fiat 500", however, the wheel arches are wrong as well as the divided rear window, and the "bustle back" rear treatment is distinctly non-Fiat

[als15]

Good. Let's close here. I was actually afraid it could have been a Photoshop.
