The "Help me identify this car" thread

Id rather drive the Mazda3.

 

any guesses? it's got bmw wheels, maybe based on a z4? or it may even be just a photoshop?

Any help is appreciated.

 

crime scene with an old Pontiac ?

 

Year and model of said Pontiac?
Picture of a co-worker's grandparents' that he is interested in.

 

i believe it's a '54
not sure about the model
either a Star Chief or a Chieftain

 

there are 5 chrome ribs on this one but only 4 on your photo
and this one has chrome "eyebrows" over the taillamps

I think John above beat me to it, but it looks like a 1954 Pontiac Chieftain Eight Custom Catalina 2-Door Hardtop

Deutsche Bonnet?

 

Damn, that's close, but I don't think that's quite it. You and I must think alike. It looks French or Italian to me. Maybe even Swedish?

 

You sure?

Check google images.

 

Yeah the rear lights and rear boot lid (engine cover?) look different. Didn't see a DB that looked like that.

 

Rear lights are off the shelf parts for the tiny marques. They can change repeatedly in a model run.
If not DB the scoops look Abarth like. But he did variants of a number of makes.

 

Thank you! It's looking more like a Abarth 750. Trying to get more info....

the record monza is a strange one...the inboard tail lights seem unique as all the cars i've seen [and owned] have the fender mounted units..also the rm came in many guises..750 pushrod, 850 pushrod ,750 twincam and a few 1 liter bialberos..[plex windows,slotted steel wheels, campy mags, covered/open headlights..etc.....the script on the b&w photo says more than just 750..it might be derivisione, bialbero,or possibly a sestriere blend...possibly an early prototype or a non-zagato knockoff..tho unlikely....very interesting and certainly very much in the abarth-fiat tradition of no two cars were the same.....
