Title: Solved - als096 - Rookies'Christmas
Post by: als15 on December 24, 2014, 04:36:30 AM: 6 cars, probably already featured in the past on Autopuzzles, as a special Christmas gift for rookies only: 6 easy points for the newcomers, if they are able to identify the cars.

Post by: rickjames8 on January 06, 2015, 03:27:09 PM: 1. Nash Metropolitan (on skis?)
2. 1928 Model A
3. 1964 Trabant
4. 1978 Mazda Flatbed
5. I want to say Fiat 500, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong based on the rear window.
6. 1963 Chevy Impala

Post by: als15 on January 06, 2015, 04:01:15 PM: Good start.
1, 2 (I assume you meant a Ford Model A, but being a rookie the answer is good as well) and 6 are correct.
For 3 and 4 I need the model name, not just the make (that are indeed correct).
5 is definitely not a Fiat.

As usual, points will be awarded at the end.

1. Nash Metropolitan - rickjames8
2. Ford Model A - rickjames8
3. Trabant P601 Universal - rickjames8
4. Mazda B1800 - rickjames8
5. Photoshopped cars - no points for this one.
6. Chevrolet Impala Convertible - rickjames8

rickjames8: 5 points

Post by: rickjames8 on January 07, 2015, 09:36:01 AM: The Trabant is a P601 and the Mazda is a flatbed version of a B1800?

The Fiat-looking thing I'll need to work on...

Post by: als15 on January 07, 2015, 09:43:08 AM: Both correct! You are going to make an en-plain.

Post by: rickjames8 on January 10, 2015, 01:14:17 PM: I've spent far too much time looking for this last one. :) I was going to guess a Steyr Puch, but that's basically a clone of the Fiat. Is it Italian? Judging by the fire escape ladders, I'm guessing the photo was taken in the USA, but that doesn't tell me much.
Title: Re: als096 - Rookies'Christmas
Post by: als15 on January 10, 2015, 03:23:48 PM: Honestly, I've no idea. The wheels look like a Steyr-Puch 500 and the door like a Fiat 500. But everything else is different. I'm afraid it could be a nice Photoshop and not a real car.
Can any expert tell us more?
If it's not a real car, the puzzle closes here and you get all points.
So, I move up, to allow everybody to write a reply.

Post by: richard cuyler on January 13, 2015, 08:55:34 AM: Is it perhaps a ZAZ Zaporozhets?
Title: Re: als096 - Rookies'Christmas
Post by: als15 on January 13, 2015, 09:36:24 AM: I don't think so: ZAZ 965 has rear-hinged doors.

Post by: mymokke on January 27, 2015, 12:10:00 AM: I've found this same photo on several Christmas card websites ........ this may in fact be a imaginative creation without being an actual vehicle.
Several sites list it as a "Fiat 500", however, the wheel arches are wrong as well as the divided rear window, and the "bustle back" rear treatment is distinctly non-Fiat

Post by: als15 on January 27, 2015, 05:22:49 AM: Good. Let's close here. I was actually afraid it could have been a Photoshop.
