Yes sirs, close enough.
!970 Ford F-100 but I don;t know how long this body style lasted so it very well could go back into the 60's.
My step dad has same truck 1970 in blue and he keeps it mint howver the paint wants to fade.

OK….this one won’t be so easy, but I’m confident that some of you will remember it.




Hint: It was offered in the U.S., but not for very long.

OK…let’s see who can get this one.

Hint: It had an extremely rare transverse (sideways-mounted) in-line six engine….. I think the only transverse-inline six I ever sampled on a test drive.

It was a nice car…I liked it.

Suzuki Verona.

I never saw this on the road locally. But I did see its cousin, the Chevy Epica, a lot. It stood out to me because of the rear taillight similarities to the 2dr Civic at the time.

Yes, you are correct that there was also a Chevy version (GM, at that time, held a stake in Suzuki). There was also a Daewoo version….the Magnus.

In fact, Daewoo actually designed and developed this car.

Well, then, my suggestion is to start a thread with time-specific dates.

I will agree with striker, though, that this is a nice thread.
