Wow, thanks for the brochures! They're very good sources for pics, since they show non-modified models.
However, I prefer to find pics like this ones: http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1986-buick-electra-estate-wagon/) because sometimes details are better seen.
I resort to brochures when they're the only or best pics of a determined model/version.

- Camry: Revised. Thanks for the tip.
- Caprice Classic: http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1995-chevrolet-caprice-classic/
- Impala SS (front wasn't enough seen so I've put another pic): http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1995-chevrolet-impala-ss/
- Lumina: Front and rear weren't enough seen.
- '76 Caprice Classic Coupé: http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1976-chevrolet-caprice-classic-coupe/
- E-Class (I found a better rear pic): http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1983-chrysler-e-class/
- Diplomat: http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1983-dodge-diplomat/
- Crown Victoria: Thanks for the brochure, but I found other pics without the white stripes.
- LTD Crown Victoria (found a better rear pic): http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1986-ford-ltd-crown-victoria/
- LTD Landau Coupé (found a rear pic): http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1977-ford-ltd-landau-coupe/
- '73 LeMans Coupé: http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1973-pontiac-lemans-colonnade-hardtop-sport-coupe/
Could be that pics show different trim levels? Wheels don't seem to be the same, and the one on the right has vents in the little side window.
- '87 TC: Front and rear aren't enough seen.
- '91 TC: Trim levels don't match, do they? Have you got another picture of that Signature?
- '06 TC: Which trim level is it?
- '78 Continental: http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1978-lincoln-continental/
- '92 Grand Marquis LS: I prefer to have pics without those white stripes so it's better seen.
- '76 Comet: Trim levels don't seem to match. Got any other useful picture of any of those two levels?
- '84 Delta 88: It seems rear picture shows a non-Brougham model. Same with the Comet.

Anyway, thanks again and keep them because they are geniune treasures :tongue: .

P.D.: I'm looking for pictures of a mid '90s Nissan 240SX with these wheels http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2329520450030961650aNqWzd
I'm not sure but I think they were available both in Base and SE trim levels, so any of those would be useful.
Has anyone spotted a 240SX like this?

Thanks!

What's that quote for?
03/02/2009 @ 02:47:52: taxiguy: Help with a friend's car blog
Please add the Town Cars, you don't have ANY on the blog and that is THE car from the Lincoln line-up! Plus I gave you one from every major generation!

The '87 - Come on now, if you'll accept the front and rear from the 78 Continental you've got to accept that...

The '91 - Yeah the blue one is a base model and the other one is a higher trim, but they're basically the same car... and those are really good shots of them, paticularly the rear one.

The '06 - Signiture Series

The Chrysler E-Class - Two things, one: You should using the picture I gave you becuase it is an EXTREMELY good shot of a beautiful two-tone model, from a PERFECT angle.
And two: by your rules, you have to use the picture I gave you becuase the picture you used instaed is of a different model year which has a completely different rear end.
So switch the picture to the one I gave you!

'76 Comet - Oh well that the trim levels don't match, it's such a rare car and you'll be lucky to find any pictures of it at all, and definitely nowhere near the quality and good angles of those pictures. Use them!

'84 Delta 88 - Same deal as the Comet, except that's not such a rare car. My neigbor has one just like it, I can get a rear picture of it but not a front picture without walking up into his driveway and that'd be quite innapropriate :tongue:
So use the pictures I gave you for now please. By the way the front picture's a "Brougham" and the rear picture is a simple base model Delta 88.

I guess I should have said first some things.

1. As I said previously, if I haven't used some of the brochures it's because those documents are one of the last picture resources I'd use after having looked for real life pics taken in person (like the ones of the Electra), which I prefer for the reason I explained. It's not because they're bad, it's just preference.

2. This blog, Car Photo Archive, it's the "updated" version of the other I had in Blogia named Carrefour, which had the same function (a car picture blog which helps to identify models). Currently I'm moving the pictures I had in Carrefour to the new one you know, and I had a LOT of cars there, so if I've not put some cars it's because I already had them in Carrefour and they'll be moved someday.

3. If I haven't used some of your pictures because I considered front or rear weren't enough seen it's because I knew I could find pics where they were better seen. Only if I can't find any other better pics of that model/version, then I would use those other images.

4. I try to match trim levels of front and rear pictures whenever it's possible. If I haven't taken some of your pictures which shown non-matching trim levels it's because I wanted to look for images of one of the levels so I could complete them. I put non-matching trim level pictures only if I haven't found any image that shows one of those two levels.
In the case of the Comet, I actually found two nice non-official pictures of the same car: http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/1976-mercury-comet/

- About the Town Cars, as I said, I prefer to look for real life pics taken in person, and that show the same trim level: http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/1991-lincoln-town-car-cartier/
http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/2006-lincoln-town-car-signature/
I like better this kind of pictures because light is a bit better and hence details are better seen.

- E-Class revised: http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/1983-chrysler-e-class/

P.D. Question: One day I found a 1981 4-door Cutlass LS listed in Ebay http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/1981-oldsmobile-cutlass-ls/
Which has rear lights divided in three sections.
However, I've seen in imcdb that some 1981 4-door Cutlass have been listed as "Cutlass Supreme", which are very similar to this 1984 4-door Supreme: http://carphotoarchive.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/1984-oldsmobile-cutlass-supreme/

My question is: Was the Supreme a trim level in 1981 and after 1982 it was a separate model (when 4-door models had the RWD G-Platform, if I remember well)? Or was every 1981+ 4-door Cutlass a Supreme?

By the way, you wrote "cupé" because that's how it's spelled in Norwegian or is it "coupé"?

Thanks again
20/02/2009 @ 17:02:23: atom: Help with a friend's car blog
Troll-bilen means "The Troll car"

You can see the name here in the brochure: http://home.online.no/~bjarnli/troll/html/reklamebrosjyre.html

I'm not sure if this really is the modelname but it is the closest to a modelname I can find.

BTW, you didn't add the Volvo P1900?
21/02/2009 @ 09:26:36: coopey: Help with a friend's car blog
I didn't put the P1900 because I already had one in the original blog from where I'm moving the pictures. But thanks anyway :wink: .

Official name was "Evasion", not "Break", but that's for France... I do not know for other countries, it may be different.
