  • Re: Can you help me name this car?

    Here is the April mystery car. I think it is a 1967 plymouth valiant wagon. Any help?

      It's a '66. The entire Valiant line was redone for 1967 and there was no wagon available that year.

        As I have mentioned before, if I get help and win the contest with that help, I will split the $175 cash. I have now won 4 times, each time without help. Here is the latest mystery car. I'm thinking 70's or 80's Lincoln convertible?

          It's a '71 to '73 Mercury Cougar Convertible. I'd like to narrow it down to a single year, but I can't discern any differences from '71 to '73 from a side shot.

            Well, I am stumped on the Oct. car. I think it is a Buick RIVERA, 1965 to 1970?

              Your thumbnails won't enlarge when clicked on, so it's very difficult to tell, but the heavy front bumper tells me it's a '68-'69.
              '66-'67 models (my favorite Rivs BTW) had smaller bumpers and the '70 had some revisions to the smooth bodywork of the earlier models.

                Bill, you nailed it, again. With your info, I found the exact pic he used. 1968 BUICK RIVERA. Here it is. You get half the cash if I win.

                    That would be cool. It's been over 50 years since I got any benefit from ID'ing cars. When I was a little kid, before grade school, I learned to read by studying the front end pictures and descriptions in my Dad's mid-50's Motor's Auto Repair Manual. My grandfather would often take me to a local bar and bet a shot and beer that his little grandson could tell you what kind of car you had parked outside. At the time I had no idea what he was up to. All I knew was that every time I went outside to look at someone's car, I'd get a fresh glass of pop and some pretzels or pistachios when I came back in. It wasn't until long after he died that one of his neighbors told me the story. If I wind up with some winnings, I'll have to go back to one of the bars in his old neighborhood and have a beer in his memory.

                        Bill, You touched me with your story. I am way ahead in this newspaper contest. I've won it 4 times. As luck would have it, every time you clued me in on the answer (even the exact pic he used), I did not win. I'm sure I'll win again before he bans me. In honor of your dad, I will pay you now for 1/2 the cash = $70. Send me your email addr in a private message and I will paypal you.

                        Please pace your self in the bar hopping and don't drive drunk!

                          The newspaper guy said he did not get a correct answer! I got the answer from the same pic he used! OH WELL.

                          Here is the NOV. car

                            It's a '73 Chevrolet Laguna.
