    Don't know if this has been done on this forum. If so, apologies. The rules, I give you an image of a mystery car. You try to guess what it is. The first to guess correctly, provides the next image. Here's a start:

    Bingo. Year was correct as well: telltale hint was the window in the rear buttress--1970 only.

    edit: woops, no piece of the buttress window. Very well done nonethelss.

    I'm thinkin Britisher....Knowing Chuck....
    Was thinking the grill was taking me to Italian but I think that's a "Red Herring" or should I say Red Kippers...
    The fender mirrors brought me back to "Bangers and Mash"....

    Looks like the wire wheels are shod with "Avon" tyers...
    A Bristol was kind of where I was headed but I'm uneasy with that..... Kinda... Maybe...
