Isn't the leading sedan (barely peeking its tail into the pic) an Alfa?

I think it is an Alfa ('63 Giulia TI?) and sorry Fin but those are Fiat 124 sedans, not 125s, .
 
The Spider wears a Turin plate (TO=Torino) and the white Fiat berlina wears a Roman Plate (ROma=Rome).

I'm gonna guess a 1981 Datsun 210? And considering how well they held up from that era, I'd say that one almost qualifies as rust-free!
 
It's kinda funny, how with that era of 210, the other bodystyles seem like diminutive little things, but the wagon actually seems a bit large-ish.

I test drove one of those. 108hp on the SI.
 
I remember the HF model had 62hp and the middle model (I forget the model designation, was it just called the "base"?) had 92hp.
 
At the time, the HF was $300 cheaper, but 30hp for $300 sounds like a bargain at $10/horse.
 
I considered the Civic Si, the Swift GT, but ended up with a 91 Ford Escort GT. It had 127hp, which was a lot for a cheap hatch at the time, and more torque than my other choices. The powertrain held up well but the interior had pieces falling off and the motorized mice seatbelts drove my passengers nuts.

Hmm, I owned a 1980 210 coupe, and it seemed a bit different. Those rear doors seem mighty long for some reason.
 
Did they have a model between the 210 and the 510/Maxima?

They had the 310, but maybe that was the FWD model? I get them all mixed up, because I know they had a ton of 'em back in those days...
 
F10 (early FWD attempt, and I think only offered as a 2-door/3-door)
210 (pretty much a full-range RWD subcompact)
310 (IIRC another FWD model...had a clunky 4-door hatchback, but also had the Pulsar)
510 (4 door sedan/hatchback and wagon models, but were they still offering 2-doors by this time?)
610 (I think this one was just a coupe offering?)
810/Maxima (4-door sedan and wagon by 1981, although earlier models offered a hardtop coupe)
 
And then the 200SX and 280Z thrown in for good measure.
 
Did they ever have a 710? I seem to recall the 610 was just offered as a coupe. Wonder if there was a 410 or a 910?
