The "Help me identify this car" thread

Not one... but if it were mine today... I would drive it till the wheels fell off!

That is one seriously cool looking ride. My wife in her nicest sun dress, "Jackie-O" glasses with me behind the wheel on the Cote d'Azur is about the only way to make the machine look any better!

Ciao,

ME!

 

Looks like a GM concept to me. Hood bump says the other car likely isn't any more Italian. Best wishes, Kare

 

Nice car, to me it looks a little Cadillac, the fins and the V on the hood.

along with that windshield...

but it could be european too

 

I have seen a couple of Lancia specials that had heavy Detroit influence in the styling. I got to do some more detective work. I do not think it is American iron.

 

Car in front is a Chevrolet, and the car in the back may be a Lister?

No idea, that is just a guess.

 

The car in front is small. I have seen similar windshields on Lancias and Fiats of this era. The grill is similar to some Lancia specials I have see as are the lights. Car in back is a sports racer. I wished I had more pics. I found this in a box of old photos.

 

I think the car in front is a special bodied Lancia Flaminia.

 

Here is a Cadillac dream-car from 1954. Just for comparison, but certainly the same designer.

A custom Flaminia? Quad headlamps didn't start until 1957.

 

Thanks guys defiantly styled after the GM dream car. Still wondering what the car is behind it. Going back to yard sale house to see if they have more photos

 

The mystery car is a Rocco Motto bodied special from 1955 on a Fiat or Lancia Chassis. Italian replica of the 55 Caddy Espada show car

 

More photos The side view I got off the internet front view I went back to house that had yard sale and looked through the box of photos

See the emblem on the lower side, that could be a clue.

 

This is off-topic, but parts of that car remind me of a '50s Vette... anyone else think so?

Saw this ad on autotrader today. The car in the front is a Ferrari Mondial.

What I am curious is if anyone can identify the two cars in the garage, under the car covers?

car on the left looks like a C4 Corvette

 

my best guess would be 575/550 on the left because you can see the shadow/indent from the hood scoop...right side 328

 

I found this on another forum:

Apparently there is a "Martini" sticker beneath the left rear lights and an outline of the Nurburgring below the right and Italian license plates. People on the other forum don't know what it is, thought I'd post it here for some help

 

This one is called Factory Five GTM.

I agree, hard to tell what is on the right... maybe a Boxer?

 

The one on the right looks to me like the back end of a pickup.

 

nah...a boxer is lower than a c-4 vette so i doubt it to be a boxer. i could be wrong however...there is always that chance.

but my firt thought on the car to the left was also a c4 or c5 vette.

best,
