Vintage Cars (4)

Basil wrote: The first looks like a 1950 Ford with a continental kit and the tail lights cleaned up a little bit. The Ghostbusters vehicle looks more like an 83 or 84 Cadillac based on the additional lights in the bumper.

Thank you for your help, Basil. The first one in fact is 1950 Ford two door sedan. Talking about Cadillac Ghostbusters vehicle: thank you for pointing me on Caddy model. I have taken this model year basing on Wiki info and did not check on its model. This one on my picture is replica of original 1959 Cadillac Hearse Ghostbusters Vehicle based on 1974 Cadillac Hearse vehicle. I made correction on my picture.
And last blue car still remains a mystery.

I'm taking my hat off to you, Sir. Thank you so much for your help, Basil. I have never heard about this manufacturer especially that I would place this car somewhere in Europe according to its size. So now all my picture will have descriptions.
Thanks again.

Have you ever seen a Kia EV6? Not "just a tool".....

Renault 4

Sony A7r4 | Sony/Zeiss 55/1.8 | f/1.8 | 1/125s | 125iso

I love the R4 and had a maroon 4GL (with the grey wide plastic strips on the lower doors). We went all over Europe camping in it on my annual leave from the British Army. Fun to drive with the push-pull gear lever and the only car I have ever, in more than fifty years of driving, had a speeding ticket in! Albeit for exceeding 30mph

I traded up to a white R8S, then a red R12TL, then a gold (colour) R16TS and my final Renault, a green R17TS with a black go-faster Starsky and Hutch stripe . Your photo brought back many happy memories Addy, TFS.

Thanks Harm. I know the deux chevaux well and was tempted recently to invest in one to tinker with, but it was too far gone with the dreaded tin worm. A work colleague of mine a few years ago had a red and white "Dolly" 2CV and spent a small fortune having it professionally restored. He takes it to shows now.

Yours looks great
