Replying to: stephen987 (Sep 19, 2008 6:06 pm) I agree - it's a 1963 Dodge Dart - I think it's a "270' model by the side ornament.

Replying to: andys120 (Sep 20, 2008 3:08 pm) Good movie! On the ramp going away looks like a '56 Chevrolet. Coming at us: green 1960 Chevrolet, red 1954 Hudson, blue 1955 Chevrolet, next visible is a 1957 Chevrolet followed by a dark shadow then a pink '55 Chevrolet and an aqua '55 Chevrolet bringing up the rear. I can't quite make out the smaller white one (maybe a '60 Corvette?) or the blue roof in front of it, and I'm no good with buses.

Nice job, wgrafer, I think you got all of them. The white Corvette is a late C1, could be anything from '58 to '62. That bus is the old GMC split window style that was common in the late 40s and 50s. IIRC it was around the mid '60s that it was replaced by the newer style with larger windows and unpainted corrugated metal siding.    This photo must represent a date between 1960 (newest cars visible) and early 1964 when the sign for "IDLEWILD AIRPORT" would have been changed to "JFK AIRPORT."

I believe that's a German Ford Taunus (17M?), mid-1960s, parked between a '55 Chevy Pickup and a black Moskvich 412. But I'm just guessing here. . . no caffeine yet.   The museum wouldn't happen to be the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, would it?

Replying to: stephen987 (Sep 21, 2008 6:32 am) Good guess, it's a 1965 Ford Taunus 40M. I can only guess at the other two but you could be right.   The Museum is the Transport Museum in Ysataffel Iceland, Here's another goodie from the Museum Ystaffel>   Replies to this message: magnette (Sep 21, 2008 2:47 pm) andys120 (Sep 21, 2008 3:54 pm)

Replying to: andys120 (Sep 21, 2008 9:03 am) The truck looks like an ancient Unimog, or a relative of one...? The car to the left is a bit of a puzzle... I think it's a Kewet Buddy - an electric car made in Denmark from the early 1990's, and latterly in Germany and Norway. If so it's an earlier one, not one of the later ones, as they have different headlights. Iceland probably has a preferential trade link of some sort with Denmark, etc, so I think that's what it is. The red 4x4 a Nissan Patrol of some sort ? Replies to this message: andys120 (Sep 21, 2008 3:54 pm)

Replying to: magnette (Sep 21, 2008 2:47 pm) It is indeed an ancient (1955) Unimog, early ones didn't wear the M-B Tris-Star for some reason. The other is a 1991 Kewet El-Jet, you know more about it than I do.   Nice going, Mag.
