Supposedly it's a 1963 and I agree that it looks like the head of the robot Maid from the Jetsons! _________________ *******************************

inside view, ended up with the later ford v4 engine as the 2 strokes weren't powerful enough...well that's a surprise! only two were made but both survive.

I think the car on the far right is a '59 or '60 Lincoln? Tail light lenses don't look right though.
And what is the gray, 4-door sedan on the left?
Thanks to Rene R. for posting this photo.

I saw this in the other thread and thought about brining it over here, too.
I think that grey 4 door is an Opel Olympia, or Rekord. Not sure on the others. _________________ nothing |

oldsmobile fits the number of letters across the boot lid of the left car but google is suggesting amc ambassador? I think the car to the right might be a lincoln capri...

This one would appear to be a 1965 AMC Ambassador.

Good call on the Ambassador. I was leaning toward a Plymouth. I'll take the low hanging fruit ... white 2-door post would be a 1964 Buick Special. _________________ Tom

Credit to Finster, he had the idea first. I just did some digging and found the right photo. _________________ nothing |

I thought it was leaning more towards the 1960 Thunderbird, but there's some Vette mixed in too. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
