    Okay, so I know you are supposed to upload pics to the gallery, but I thought it would be more interesting to test your knowledge (and eyesight since most are with my camera phone).

    Here's an easy one I snapped as it made a not so fast getaway whilst I fumbled for the camera

    These 2 may be a little more difficult so no googling. I'll know!
    :biglaugh:

    If it's all too easy, just enjoy the pics :29:

    I thought it was interesting that the 2 above are so small even though at the time they were the equivalent to full size sedans.

    My guess...

    First one is a Chevy Nomad and the last two are Holdens and the last one is a Holden HR.

    Ever See a Holden this side of the Ocean? The only Aussie car I have seen in person was a Ford Falcon.

    The pink one is a Holden FB Special Station Wagon. Built from 1960 to 1961, this example has had a hard life, but is clearly loved. The interior was mickey mouse with good condition vinyl seats and dash. It's a local vehicle so if I can get a hold of the owner, I'll try to get some interior shots. She come only with a three on the tree manual and a 2.262l or 138 ci. driving 13x6.4" cross plys :D

    Now, there's a better solution than tinted windows! I'll bet the parents are ragging the kids to keep their mitts off them, but at least you'd get to see the country side with your own rosey glasses.:)

    mikmak, I was getting desperate for some Division Bar glass runs about 3 months ago, so I went on an all night search binge because I'd heard that the Fairmonts in OZ/NZ, although bigger and beefier basically had similar parts, and I found this:
