#11 of 23936 Perhaps it's one of those.... by andys120 Apr 01, 2005 (5:35 am)
Canadian models we never saw in the US. They used to have Pontiacs with Chevy chassis and drivetrains. That one looks like a Buick on a Chevy platform.
#12 of 23936 Not sure... by andre1969 Apr 01, 2005 (5:54 am)
but I think that's a '72 or so Holden Monaro. I think that platform might be similar to the '68-72 GM intermediate platform, and about the same size overall, but it's a lot more than just slapping different sheetmetal on a '72 Chevelle and jiggling the C-pillar around. The windshield and A-pillar almost look similar to the big '71-76 GM coupes, but they had much more of an inward curve.

Yep, it's a 71 Monaro, an Aussie Chevelle (or GTO, if you please)
#14 of 23936 Another... by andys120 Apr 01, 2005 (1:58 pm)

I don't know, maybe a Triump Stag?   *oops. Spoiler alert, I was wrong and don't look at the properties of the photo!

Looks like a Rover----2000TC? Replies to this message: englishmike (Jan 03, 2006 9:39 am)
#18 of 23936 our first minivan by Mr_Shiftright HOST Apr 01, 2005 (3:13 pm)

That's a Rover for sure...a 2000 or a 3500   Shifty's ground-based zeppelin is Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion. But don't we have to remain postwar?
#20 of 23936 The Rover by oregonboy Apr 01, 2005 (4:23 pm)
The Rover 3500 had hood scoops (to feed air to the massive Buick-derived V-8). The pictured Rover is most likely the TC.   Correction on an earlier point regarding the Mazda RX-2. The RX-2 was predated by the Mazda R-100, a rotary powered version of Mazda's diminutive 1200cc Coupe. I can remember that a white R-100 was featured on the cover of Car & Driver when it was first introduced.   james Replies to this message: andys120 (Apr 01, 2005 6:28 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Apr 01, 2005 10:06 pm) andys120 (Apr 02, 2005 7:27 am) englishmike (Jan 03, 2006 9:46 am) andys120 (Jan 03, 2006 2:23 pm)
