Seen today on a classic car meeting in Limburg (Lahn). Graham-Paige was a car company from the USA. Has anyone heard of it?

Second one from the original J-body line i see in the last months ( there is also a 1986 Olds Firenza in my neighborhood that still avoid my camera ) . can't give a precise year but looks like a Sunbird according o the reverse light shape

The new 2017 Toyota Yaris had its german premiere (ahead of the IAA) in my hometown! Its pre-facelift model will end production in Summer 2017. This sighting actually gets into the "funny" category because i got photo-bombed by a cat. :lol:

1993 Volvo 855 GLE converted into a pickup truck. I think it was built buy a local school for the project class that you attend at the last year of high school.

Are you talking about the red 1971-73 Ford Mustang? Otherwise the Mr. Happy Smashy Jaguar :grin:

#12 1975 Chevrolet Nova

That looks like 1973/74 version to me :think:

That is Park Avenue Ultra :love:

That is 1995/96 version due to absence of trim at the rear of the rear bed.

As you said, you have a lot... :wink:

1/2 .. still unknown to me too

3 Volvo PV444 ? ( but i'm really, really unsure of my shot on this one )

5 Impala seems to be 1968, the white light seems to be a little different from the Supernatural one ( my reference for 1967 ones :whistle: )

9 what happened to that Jag ? weren't they expensive enough to have tail lights as a standard equipment ? :grin:

10 looks like something made from a Beetle

16 Mercedes S-Class

17 BMW 5 Series

19 Lotus Esprit , pretty nice ( and pretty rare ) find

28 looks like 1990-1991 tail lights to me

32 looks like a 1992 Corolla to me ( circled T badge )

33 if you didn't checked the plate, could go as far as 1993, the wagon kept the older tail lights until the new design in 1994

36/49 Both are Suzuki Samurai

37 looks Taurus to me

42 looks 1991-1992 ( 1993 and up had colored bumpers )

47 that gen is 1993-1999 but i can't see the grille enough to see if it is 1996-1999 ( and look like a replacement one anyway )

48 as said by rjluna, a Buick Regal ( 1995-1996 one )

53 this is a 1997 only by clear turn signal

56 looks like someone just took a VW Thing and jacked it up

57 2000-2003 Honda S2000

58 London taxi :eek: this is something you don't see everyday.... but i don't know the name

D'oh - I really screwed up on the Nova. The huge 1974+ bumpers threw me off, I forgot 1975+ had a completely different body. :grin:

#9 - That was at a body shop so who knows :grin:

#53 - Strange, I had run the plate (3VDS684) and it came back as a 1995. Maybe the tail lights were swapped out at some point?

#1 1939 Chevrolet
#3 1942 Ford

I believe these Ford Aspire have problem retaining amber colour tinning that could break down in course of time :think:
13/04/2017 @ 13:51:16: Baube: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
exactly, the amber totally went away ( and making me say 1997 even if they don't have those black dividers )

should look like http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/515/4421/1287210042_large.jpg
one of my uncles had one ( a 1995 ) and he had the amber turn signal ( ok, he bought it new, which helped to have them... :grin: )

Chevrolet Task-Force (1955-59), here with the 1955-57 front fender. The small bed indicates a ½-ton 3100.

#11 Chevrolet unknown
http://i.imgur.com/MAOoysft.png

On the right: a 1980+ C-Series, due to the external mirror. I'd say a 1980 model only, as it seems to have the 1973-80 flat hood.
On the left: a 2000-06 Tahoe.

#14 Chevrolet C/K-Series [...]
http://i.imgur.com/p4qMMujt.png[/url]

2WD model (it doesn't seem to have a front differential) with a 1985-87 grille, so either a 1985-86 C-Series or a 1987 R-Series.

#19 unknown
http://i.imgur.com/qRMyauBt.png[/url]

As already said by Baube, a Lotus Esprit. If I'm not mistaken, a 1981+ S3/Turbo which seems to have Turbo written between the door and the rear wheel arch (like this one).

#58 unknown

1997–2002 LTI TX1, or more likely a 2002-06 TX2, as 250 LHD models were imported in USA in 2003 and 2004 (see also here).
From what I understood, TX2s look almost the same as TX1s (some small details, like the rear door windows are different) but have a more modern engine.
