Alexander ◊ 2005-12-30 01:09	It is the 1303 model.
Ingo ◊ 2009-01-04 10:58	What's the dark green car far left? Something European, I'd say. By the front lamps I thought at first at a US-Peugeot 504, but it's something two-door.
chris40 ◊ 2009-01-04 13:10	Maybe Reliant Scimitar SE5 or 6? I know they're as scarce as hens' teeth in the USA, but there's something very familiar about the headlights and the shape of the rear side window ... and if we think it is it might be worth listing for rarity value alone. -- Last edit: 2009-01-04 13:11:00
Ingo ◊ 2009-01-04 13:24	Yes, a Scimitar could be possible, I thought about it, too (by the shape of the back side window), but I wasn't sure because of the edge of the front hood around the lamps. Also something Italian came into my mind. You're also right about its rarity in the USA. Since a while I have the impression, that we have the biggest chance to recognize really rare European cars in the USA, when we are looking for US-movies from between 1965 and 1975 and then especially for all junkyard-scenes. So a friendly to all pic-contributors over here: please organize as many as possible junkyard-scenes. Not only US-junkyard-scenes are welcome, also in other countries there were absolute rare cars to find in 50ies and 60ies. A propos rarity. I'm more and more convinced, that in this movie you also can see a hyper-rare US-spec Audi Super 90: /vehicle_207826-Toyota-Land-Cruiser.html
Sunbar ◊ 2009-01-04 13:38	I would like it to be a Reliant Scimitar but sorry it looks like a Pontiac Firebird to me with an endura-rubber front late 1960s? I think the rear glass shape is not really clearly seen. -- Last edit: 2009-01-04 13:38:46
antp ◊ 2009-01-04 18:08	Only other view of the car:
Ingo ◊ 2009-01-04 18:20	Ah, thanks for the second pic - it's a Ford Capri II -- Last edit: 2009-01-04 18:20:27
DynaMike ◊ 2009-01-04 23:08	Indeed a Capri II (without Ford in USA). Anyway not many of them listed on this site...
ingo ◊ 2011-04-14 20:07	Correction: it's the 1973-only Super Beetle, as it hasn't the ugly 1974+ bumpers, which were positioned higher at this model, too.
