Bumping Bitkahuna's car.
I've got nothing but for some reason the tail lights are screaming at me -> Ford and I don't know why.
Hint: there's an entire other thread here on CL about this car.

^^IMHO, that is probably the best-looking Lambo ever done. Here are some other views.

This one shouldn't be too difficult. At time of its production, it was THE most expensive new car available in the U.S. short of a Rolls-Royce....and, like the Rolls, hand-built.

You got it...a '65 'Bird.

I got a chance to drive my Dad's T-Bird a number of times...once to Ohio and back from the D.C. area. NICE trip-car.

That speedometer above the aluminum gauge-pods was quite unusual.....it used red fluid in a horizontal glass tube, which moved to the right the faster you went.

This was a car that I did not particularly like at all. I test-drove one, and it had a boring, blah, somewhat unpleasant feel to its interior, design, steering, and general road manners....completely without any personality.

Hint: I know in the side view it looks like a Renault 9/Alliance, but it is NOT an Alliance.
