'59 Ford, looks like a two-door. Would be, let's see, a 352 with a 3-speed I would guess.

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 10, 2009 4:04 pm) I miss those old fashion revolving MARS lights on the roof. I think the Michigan Highway Patrol may still use them?

Replying to: andys120 (Jul 10, 2009 3:47 pm) Wasn't the motor called a 352 cu in Interceptor?   Answer: Introduced in 1958 as part of the Interceptor line of Ford V8 engines, the Ford 352 of 351.9 cu in (5.8 L) actual displacement was the replacement for the Lincoln Y-block. It is a 332 with 3.5 inches (88.90 mm) stroke and a 4 inches (101.60 mm) bore, and was rated from 208 bhp (155.1 kW) with a 2-barrel carburetor to over 300 bhp (223.7 kW) on the 4-barrel models. When these engines were introduced, they were called Interceptor V-8 on the base models and Interceptor Special V-8 on the 4-barrel models.[3] The Interceptor was the base-performance engine in 1958. For the 1959 model year, the FE engine series was renamed the Thunderbird V-8 and the Thunderbird Special V-8.[4]. When installed in Mercury vehicles, these engines were named "Marauder". This series of engines usually weighed over 650 lb (290 kg).[ credit Wikipedia

Buick Riviera for sure, but I've got to go with 1968 (1st year of side marker lights).

Replying to: andys120 (Jul 11, 2009 4:15 am) Telling some years of Rivieras apart is like identifying early VW Beetles. There isn't much difference. Replies to this message: andys120 (Jul 11, 2009 10:04 am) mp67riv (Jul 11, 2009 8:21 pm)

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 11, 2009 5:56 am) Actually it's easy to tell a '68-'69 from a '66 or '67 Riv. The earlier cars have much smaller, finely shaped bumpers. I'll admit it's very hard to tell within those two year groupings which is which.   This is a '67>   For my money the cleanly detailed, ultra-sleek '66-'67 Rivs were the best of 'em all including the highly prized '63-'65 cars.
