    MG TD?

    Coil spring fronts and semi-elliptical rears. What else has that?

    Not even close. ;)

    Probably most passenger cars manufactured around the world since mid-1930’s and at least until 1980’s(?)

    Not my 1967 Ferrari. Not my friend’s old 911. Definitely not old Maseratis or Royces.

    I’m curious to know who knows enough to figure it out!

    With all due respect, but all those are quite limited market examples and a very small percentage of worldwide overall passenger car production, although (vintage) R-R’s have featured same suspension configuration.


    Me too. ;)
    There are some quite specific features shown, but eventually, if no one is able to figure it out, I might offer hints.

    Hint #1: Brakes (while I realize the resolution is not great, hopefully it’s enough to provide useful details about them.)

    No, but thanks for playing.
    I was hoping resolution being clear enough to show lack of them.
    Look again ?

    Nope, although I kind of expected someone to suggest that.
    P/U would not have frame kick-up over the rear axle.

    #3: 5 passenger (American made) car.

    ???
    Not sure what you’re referring to ?
    The examples you offered in posts #8651 and #8653 …
    … or …
    … my 2nd comment in post #8652 …
    … or …
    … cars previously offered for guessing in this thread all being limited production or one-off examples (sorry if I missed that being a requirement for posting. I’ll see myself out now and leave you to it) ?

    ... or not ?
    Last I checked there was variety of body styles qualifying a car as a "5 passenger car".
    While any 2 door, fixed roof car is often referred as "a coupe", I tend to think only some 2 passenger and sometimes 4 passenger (fixed roof) cars qualify for that denomination.

    For example: 330/365 GTC = 2 pass. Coupe, 365 GTC/4 = 4 pass. Coupe, 365GTB/4 or 250 GTB, a.k.a. "SWB" = NOT Coupes, but rather 2 pass. Fastbacks

    #5: While many others continued to utilize this type of suspension concept/configuration for years to come, it was the last year this manufacturer ever used it.
