    Okay, but I'm not very good at this game.
    Here is a picture that shows just a small part of a car - I have no idea if this is going to be dead easy or too hard.

    Andrew, it looks like a 63 Pontiac and I think the logo says Catalina. Judging from the bumper colour, I'll bet it's a lightweight drag special... ???

    Toggie's is tough, tough, tough...yeeeeesh..

    It must be the "Henry J" Kaiser car.

    Here is an early factory promo picture of one with a similar front end.

    Since I found a pic of the same license plate on the Allstate car, I'll go ahead and post the next picture.

    I remember when these cars were new:

    I remember driving (a beat-up 10-year old one) up PCH in the early 80's. That's if I've remembered correctly .... ;)

    1972 Ford LTD (maybe I'm slightly out on the model year).

    But somehow the grille in your photo doesn't look quite right. :confused:

    Maybe I got the model and year wrong. :rolleyes:. How about a 1971 Ford Galaxie ? ;)

    Good guesses. You're partially correct both times.
    It is a 1971 Ford LTD.
    Here is a pic or two of nice shiny black LTD convertible.

    Your turn.

    Even I knew I had to be close when I found an Allstate pic on the web with the same license plate number on it. :)

    Gee, why would 1971 be so special? ... Perhaps something to do with your user profile?
    I wish I shared your vintage. I'm a bit older, I was 13 for most of 1971.

    And, just out of curiosity, where is Charlottetown? Is that the one on Prince Edward Island, Canada?
