@ eLMeR : the black one in the 3rd pic is a Ford Model T
and the Navigator's MY range is good ( a shot of the front would have determined if 2003-2004 or 2005-2006

Thanks, Baube (are you skating on the streets too, in your place? :smile: ). I'll ask, but I'm not sure there's a front view of the Lincoln.

Kind of embarassing for someone who lives on a ice hockey ground ( can't believe the U-20 gold medal just slipped thru our sticks.. and just discovered that Paris will host a part of the next IIHF World Championship .. what a shock ! :eek: ) but i can't skate... :shy:

we got some freezing rain but its not that bad now . This , on the other hand, is starting to be a part of the daily routine... :roll:

Hmm, I don't think that Porsche is such a beauty. Looks like a plastic replica to me.

Taken two months ago, a Citroën DS in a Citroën garage close from where I live:

That garage also has displays with many model cars (collection from the garage owner, I guess), some are seen in the reflection in the top left corner of the photo.

Viper, yes ..
Dodge..maybe, SRT was also a short-lived ( 2013-2014 ) brand by itself so it might be one

but i don't know how to tell them apart... :ohwell:

A very clean vintage find, Reg :smile:
17/01/2017 @ 14:00:05: Gamer: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
Spotted a white Ford Probe GT today...with red indicators and a tiny plate space plus red fog light, so a today uncommon early US spec one [T22] sold from July 1993 until late 1994, when the Euro-version arrived. Can't remember what the tail lights looked like - despite being US imports and having red indicators, the Euromerican and the domestic T22 had different tail lights.

I spotted a (tuned) 1994+ Euro version a few minutes later.

Euro T22 (and the 1994+ Euro version with identical stripes like I saw them for comparison) http://www.benegizer.de/Probe/Probe_Kauf/T22-ECP.jpg

More certainly a 1958-74 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia / Type 14 convertible :wink:
Specialists will certainly be able to narrow down this model year range (1970-71 US-spec all red tail lamps, here?).

2007+ GranTurismo. Once again, it's possible to be more precise.

Getting rare now.... in this condition even more... the bumper lost a little fight but i'm seeing some Sentra 10 years younger than this one that looks like they met a can opener.....

I saw it while getting to the Palais des Congrès for the Montreal International Auto Show ( too many :grin: ) pics to follow soon

Edit : no worry for safety, i was in the passenger seat....

Not sure why I thought it was a Studebaker :petrus:

Lots of 1991-94 Nissan Sentras still alive down here, very easy to find on the local craigslist too (https://sandiego.craigslist.org/search/cta?query=nissan+sentra&min_auto_year=199- 1&max_auto_year=1994). And even more just south of the border. My Dad used to have a 1993 Nissan Sentra, he still maintains that was the best car he ever owned. Him and I named the car "Jorjet" back then. :whistle:

the LeSabre is 1997-1999 , you can see the amber turn signal cornering ( right word ? ) the bumper

Chevy pick-up is younger than that. i can't give an official year range but it looks 1973-1980 ( 1981 to the end of that generation stop using the vertical sidemarker and traded it for an horizontal one , 1972 had tail lights like those )

Mercedes seems to be an S-Class to me ..... and you can take out the question mark for the Suzuki, it is an Aerio :smile:

As for the VW/Studebaker thing, maybe the sun shining on the nose made you thinking of those

The Omega is a 73-74 model, when they were round. The 75-79 models were boxier.

• As said by Baube, a 1973-80 model. More precisely, a 1973-74 one, due to style of the fender badge;
• If I'm not mistaken, this badge says that this pickup has the Cheyenne Super trim: it shows 2 words with each having a small vertical bar that projects downwards below the row. The only other trim levels available in 1973-74 were Cheyenne, Custom Deluxe and Custom..
• It's also a C-30 'Big Dooley' Bonus/Crew Cab. What's weird is that only the right side has DRW...
