Help Looking for a veteran car....

[Ctuchik]

and all i have is a vague memory of its shape.


basically its from somewhere around late 50's early 60's. long smooth lines with the spare tire "molded" into the trunk. it was mint green (top) and white (below the chromed line), think that was the original color of the car when it was new if that helps.

been searching on every car brand i can think of but i cant find it

hope this extreamly crap description will help

Any idea of the nationality?

Also if it was generally a "race" or "people" car?

probably an american people's car. or maybe something a tad on the luxury side.

Chrysler d'elegance?

Cadillac Fleetwood?

Something of that ilk / shape? Both of those are fairly iconic of the times.

 

[old.user4556]

Mercury Turnpike?

 

[ECA]

That Chrysler actually looks really nice

 

[Ctuchik]

kinda like the mercury. but with alot rounder shapes and a "hump" on the trunk that houses the spare tire (the trunk is molded to atleast look like theres a spare tire under it). meaning the spare tire isnt outside the trunk. its inside it, or looks like it anyway.

 

[old.user4556]

That's why I thought it was the d'Elegance, because it has the hump you describe. Was the "hump" flat or upright?

 

[Ctuchik]

now were getting close, but it was more upright. kinda looked like it started of the rear bumber and went up at a slight angle at maybe 70 - 80 degrees..

 

[Ctuchik]

right. at the best of my paint skills with a mouse i've done my best to make a from a ~12 year old memory "picture" how the back end of the car looks like.....

now dont laugh!!

?

 

[Ctuchik]

lol. damnit, even HOMER draws better cars then i do

1940 Lincoln Continental? The vertical tyre hump is a Lincoln design signature; had it in the Town Car until fairly recently...

 

[old.user4556]

aye, lincoln continental would be my next guess. President Kennedy's lincoln continental had that spare wheel design.

*shudders* Never understood why anyone would would want any American car from the late sixties onwards. Even the so-called classics like the Dodge Charger, Boss Mustang, Pontiac GTO etc. were actually totally crap. 50's Americana I can understand, they were technically no worse (and often better) than European equivalents, and had ace styling, but after about 1965 there's just awfulness everywhere you look.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well, depends on taste and such.

I think the 1970-79 muscle cars look, drive(as in don't) and SOUND as a car should.

They don't have fancy bells or whistles, they don't turn corners like a greased lightning, but you can cruise in them at 30mph and feel like the king of the road while the engine is there, ready and able, if you need to tell someone to "F*ck off the way!", not to mention doing this all at the comfort of your own living room.

 

[DaGaffer]

I think if someone sees you driving down the street in say, a 1970 Camaro, their reaction will probably be "middle aged C&W fan, probably with a beer belly and pony-tail". Drive down the same street in say a 1970 Alfa GTV, and most people would say, "I don't know what that is, but it's cool".

or

And that's one of the better American cars of the era. I think the choice is "cool", or "watched too many 70's cop shows".

no its not that car either

/edit: i know for certain its a car from mid/late 50's to early 60's.

Nooooooooo, '69 dodge charger!

 

[Noghi]

1954 Cadillac Eldorado?

 

[Bodhi]

Post 1965 US Cars rubbish? I think not. Here's another bloke who disagrees with you

 

[Insane]

*wood*

 

[old.Tohtori]

"cool"

*cough...coughcoughspew...drops dead on ground twitching out of ocntrol*

You've gotta be f*cking kidding me.

And yes, a 1970 camaro says that, but a hemi 1969 charger or a challenger ofr that matter says "i want to f*ck that man now!" to the right kind of women.

Aka, discob*tches can go f*ck themselves.

 

[Ctuchik]

OK, 1957 version?

hmm. that could be it. tho i dont remember the trunk being that long, nor that the break between that and the roof being quite that distinkt.

 

[Ctuchik]

oh yes, that *gurgle* is just pure orgasm


anyway, after a long discussion with my sister we came to the conclution that the 1957 lincoln isnt the one either

 

[Rubric]

Now this is a car

 

[old.user4556]
