Well, Thanks, but to be honest, I didn't guess the actual vehicle itself in the picture......only a couple of parts-bin pieces from a (possible) Citroen 2CV. I remember the 2CV (and the Renault 4CV and Dauphine) when I was a little boy living in Belgium in the 1950s. Their culture is closely related to that of France.

^^ You guys win again!
Was hoping the mods would throw ya'll off.
Thinking the tail lights might have been the only hint on this one.

PS- mmarshall NEEDS camber on his Buick!

Still stumped on Lex2K's car above, I have nothing on it.

Correct. 1st-Generation Miata.....at least until the first time it hits a speed bump. Then, it just becomes a bunch of parts lying on the road LOL.

No thanks. Tires cost money. I prefer to preserve mine.

Some of you may know this one, but I'm betting not very many.

Hint: it is a Chrysler product.

Bingo. DeSoto folded in 1961.....Chrysler planners saw it competing against their own mid-price Dodge products (and the new low-line Chrysler Newport) too much, and it was simply too expensive to maintain the division.
