Replying to: fintail (Mar 31, 2005 4:30 pm) Yup, Fin's right. The Ro80 is significant in that it was the very first production car to feature rotary power Felix Wankel worked for NSU which VW acquired in the early 60s and folded into it's Audi division.   If you look at the Ro80's lines you'll see the germination of the aero look that became Audi's hallmark from the 8os on and has subsequently been copied to some degree by nearly every maker.   If anyone else has a stumper, just toss it into the ring.

Just look at that thing and think...flush glazing and headlights, aerodynamic greenhouse, light alloy wheels...on a sedan from 1967! It must have been like a spaceship, although not as much as something like a Citroen DS   Here's one you won't see every day:     I hope it's not too easy

a Buick or Holden.   Bob
#11 of 23988 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 23988 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)

I don't know, maybe a Triump Stag?   *oops. Spoiler alert, I was wrong and don't look at the properties of the photo!
#16 of 23988 I'll take a guess by Mr_Shiftright HOST Apr 01, 2005 (3:10 pm)
