    Default Help me identify these old cars

    Hey guys looking for some help identifying these old cars.


    I'm cleaning out an old guy's yard and need to scrap a few cars, namely an old chevelle (looks to be a 1st gen)


    , a MK I zephyr




    and the thing which I have no clue.
    There is a plate in the engine bay but it is worn off and I can't find any other markings or anything on it








    Any ideas what it could be?

    I see quite a few bits and pieces of chrome and stuff that I'm sure I could sell to the right person....someone trying to restore something. I'd hate to send a beautiful heap like this to the scrapyard knowing that there are some rare pieces on it that would make some old guy really happy to have found

    It's got a pretty unique roof line at the back but I can't find anything that matches. Good luck.

    I showed the pic to my Dad and he said its probably a Studebaker. Hope that helps narrow it down a little.

    so hard to tell cause the americans in the mid to late 60s all used the same damned emblem pretty much, an over stretched coat of arms with wings and red white and blue.

    British Ford, i remember specifically cause my dad pointed one out to me in M'sia as the british brought tons over but they called it a Ford 105E and how they used to stuff MGB engines in them, 60's sleepers lol

    it was the post war boom of euro cars, before the 50s it was pretty much all american stuff, this article gives an idea of the 'selling points', this one from 1957

    It is definitely a chevelle, it has the badge on the fender and one on the dash

    alright so its a 1959-1968 Ford Anglia 105E (probably a pre '62 as it has the triangle id plate in the engine bay), it appears to be the deluxe model with "a full-width slanted chrome grille in between prominent 'eye' headlamps. (Basic Anglias featured a narrower, painted grille)."


    I can't find too many with the little bullhorns still on the bumper and LHD seems to be rare as well. Now to find an owners club and start sellin

    the wagon has what looks to be the remnants of a dodge badge on the back. some of the E is left and I can sort of see the outline of the other letters

    Those are pretty far gone. Shame they missing the glass - hard to source for the British ones for sure. The Zephyr is darn cool.

    that wagon is a 65-67 dodge product. More than likley a polara, ive got one i drive on occasional summer days.

    that green one is definatly a chevelle, too bad its a 4 door. 70-72 is my guess.

    Where are these cars?
    Love my Viper.
