This military fire truck has been correctly identified as an American LaFrance O-11B:

Yet the mistaken assumption that this might be an Oshkosh continues to linger.

I would like to argue why all Porsche Panamera's have been listed as hatckbaks. Im sorry but just because it has a hatch type boot opening, doesnt make it a hatchback,Its a sedan in all ways.
It's like the mercedes (CL203) they have a hatch type boot, but its a coupe. A mazda 6 can have a hatch, but youd call it a sedan.
Its a sedan with a coupe like profile and a hatch type boot.
What do others think.

What makes it more sedan than any other 4-door hatchback ?
It is a hatchback/liftback.
About that category, on the French version of the site it is even named "berline à hayon", by opposition to "berline" category for "sedan".
Some of the coupés may actually be hatchback but are commonly considered as coupés.
Some of the hatchback have a sedan-shape (e.g. 1st generation Seat Toledo) but are still hatchback.
And the other way round, some hatchback-shaped cars which do not have a hatch are correctly listed as sedan (e.g. Citroën CX)
About the Mazda 6, I do not know well that car... maybe some on the site are wrongly listed

Mazda 6 is sold as sedan and hatchback in the UK. Two separate cars with two different body styles.

Anybody see this truck in "Broadway Danny Rose?:"
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_204316-Chevrolet-HM-Series.html

This can either be a Chevrolet Series 90 or a GMC HM-Series truck. Chevy never had the HM or JH series trucks.


BTW, this is still not a Plymouth Fury:

This van has been misidentified as a Chevrolet Vandura:

GMC's commercial van was the Vandura. Chevrolet had the Chevy Van.

I just spotted this Ford Econoline E-100, while looking through Dodge A-100's:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=6460
This grille didn't exist on these models until 1971, and the "E-100" was only the weight class.

This 1966 Ford F-Series, probably an F-100 was misidentified as an F-150 about ten years too early.

All Two-Door BMW 02, E21 and E30 should be listed as Sedan not Coupé!
The first 3-Series Coupé was the E36 BTW.
16/08/2011 @ 18:09:58: antp: Incorrect spelling/listing
Yes, none of these are coupé, from time to time I do batch-updates on cases like that but others are added so ...

I try to keep up to date with SAABs and Volvos, it's common to see SAAB 900 and Volvo 142/242 and sometimes also Amazon listed the wrong way.

The GMC that's also in that shot is, though.

This Ford school bus is a B-Series, not an F-Series.
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_426825-Ford-F-Series-1955.html

I should look for other misidentified Ford school buses, and maybe some cowl & chassis F-Series trucks misidentified as B-Series buses.

Fiat 124 Spiders: From 1979-1982 they were named Spider 2000 (see the ad photos).

From http://www.esportscarparts.com/Fiat/SpiderHistory.htm
"Jul 1978-Oct 1979, CS2 (Spider 2000): Name "officially" changes to the "2000 Spider" with the introduction of single-carburetor, 1995cc engine with catalytic converter. 3-speed automatic transmission becomes optional. Wide oblong mesh grille; badge on bonnet; larger power bulges."

From Wikipdia:
"Fiat continued to market the monocoque-bodied car as the 2000 Spider from 1979 to 1982."
"The car was sold in Europe and the U.S. from its introduction until the 1975 model year when it was modified to comply with new U.S. regulations and no European version was produced. Sales in Europe resumed when Pininfarina took over production in 1983 under the name Pininfarina Europa Spider."

That concerns only the US/CA specs models, right?
Some are already listed as "Sport Spider" or "Sport Spider 2000", I guess should rename all the 1979 US/CA ones then?
Shall I add "2000" to those listed as just "Sport Spider"?
