    Thats right. The other wagon is a Chevrolet Opala from Brazil.

    This may be the South African version of the same car. I like the grille.

    The Chevrolet Lumina Ute from South Africa is kind of interesting (basicly a Holden with an American name).

    Now you're up while we wait for Krash to come up with a difficult one.

    Okay but I'm shot of time now so these may have either been used or be complete no-brainers....

    Don't have a year on this, nor model, though I do have and pretty good idea of the model.

    Again, probably a no brainer so give me a specific make, model and year:

    Sorry, didn't clarify a detail or two, both are from the same country of origin but each is a different manufacturer.
    One make was guessed correctly but I don't know which one the guesser wants to tie it down to.
    They are not, however, neither one, a '66 Bonneville (ha ha) that should help narrow
    it down.
    Since some Holdens were based on Vauxall platforms and visa-versa, my hint is that one of you is correct but
    which one? If I give any further hint I'll give it away.
    The other, by the way, should come easy to the brand's faithful (not tellin' what brand tho ...)

    I think the bottom one may be a Holden? Don't know what year. Or even if it's a Holden for sure. Funny thing about the top one...it sort of has Mustang lines to it...don't know what it is, though.

    SILVERFOX, you are correct sir. 1963 Holden EH. The windshield frame (A-pillars) are styled very much like those on the full size 1961-'62 GMs as well as the '60-63 Corvair Monza.
    So, there ya go, 1 down 1 to go, Mustang, eh? An interesting observation . . .

    Ya know, I can think of a couple people here that I would expect to be drooling all over this wagon. I'm really surprised this one hasn't got a correct answer yet. I too thought this one would be easy. Very cool wagon though. I'm not guessing myself cause I just had my turn.
