She is so Cute!

And for a bonus point, Caveman, please ID the car in the driveway behind Donna's truck. I think it's a Mopar from 66 or thereabouts.

I don't like to post without putting up a pic, so here are three to start a conversation.

The first one is obviously a Buick, but I'm guessing it's a 56 Buick Special. But more importantly, the lady decorating the grill is an absolute honey. Buick fans please tell me when Buick changed the motor from a straight 8 to a Vee 8. And did they use the Chevy V8?

The first time I ever travelled at 100 mph in a car, I was in a 57 Buick special, 4 door, pillarless, with column shift and a manual gearbox. I was a very young kid at the time, but it made a lasting impression on me. The Buick had a speed warning buzzer that could be set to go off at any speed. After a lot of whining and pleading from us boys, my friend's dad set the buzzer for 100 mph and gassed it. When that speedo needle passed 100 and the buzzer went off, I swear I got my very first boner.

I'm guessing the beetle is 62 and the clue to age is the american style horn ring. Maybe the beetle is later than 62. Help, someone. I had a 62 Beetle. It used to fill up with water in heavy rainstorms and I never found the cause. And I never found any naked women in my beetle, so the car in the photo is special.

I'm struggling to ID the third car. Mustang maybe (Or is it a Mitsubishi?) I only post the pic to display that beautiful blond lady. The car is from the era when enviro-mentalists had cut the balls off American muscle cars and they were trying to grow them back, one hormone at a time. I believe that Ford even sold four cylinder mustangs for a while. That's probably what killed Steve McQueen. Cancer was just the cover story.

Aging Buick mechanic from the 1970s here, Buick went V8 in late 53 with 54 models all being V8. I'm going to put that Buick to a 1957 model, one of the higher priced model(Special or a Roadmaster). As for the VW, unless I see the taillights or rear window, I can't tell pre-64 models. 3rd car is what I know to be called the Fox bodied Mustangs from about 10-12 yrs ago. As for the Mopar, could be 68-71 Dodge. As for women pictured, I have fond memories of a number of farmers daughters in various stages of undress parked out in midwestern cornfields

The third car is definatly a Mitsubishi. You can just make out the logo at the end of the hood.

It would be rare, (but not unheard of) to put somebody else's brand name on their toy. Even more so if it's actually raced. Racers are some of the most brand loyal people in the world! So the red car, may be modified, but dollars to donuts, it's a Mitsubishi under all the plastic.
The blonde appears to be un-modified and has some exquisite lines!

Thanks for a fun thread!

Sonny, If you have pics of any of those farmer's daughters, please post. Maybe reclining on a blanket chewing thoughtfully on a straw, one hand testing the dampness of the wet bits, with a John Deere in the background. (Phew, the tempo of my typing increased as I wrote that - and then I had to rest for a couple of minutes)

Thank you for the Buick info, Sonny. I guess in 57 or thereabouts, Buick, Cadillac and Chevy were all making different V8 motors, with about the same horsepower. And now, I have to post my favourite Buick pic of all time. Sad and sorry to say this, but no chicks on this one.

I'll add another photo to compensate a little. It's a Beetle, 72, I think, but there is a beautiful hippy chick decorating the hardtail Harley in the foreground. Harley fans, please ID the bike. The kick-starter says sixties or seventies. Unlike the hippy chick, that Harley must have been an absolute dog to ride - look at that horrible back tire.

Thanks to Sparky45 for correcting me on the blonde (I mean the Mitsubishi!). Sorry Kariba, those Polaroids of the farmers daughters turned to dust a looonng time ago! Correct, from 49-55 all GM divisions developed their own V-8 engine lines sharing only body shells (Body by Fisher) & adding their own front clip, bumpers, trim, etc. to complete a particular brand. I apprenticed in a family owned Buick only dealership in the early 1970s. So we essentially worked only on Buick, Oldsmobile & Cadilllac due to their similarities. As for the Harley, the license plate shows 1974 Indiana. Typical chopper build of the day from the midwest USA. It looks to be an "old" hardtail(pre-58) 74 with a Sportster gas tank. & what could be the 4.00X18 rear tire. Judging from levers and hardware on lower left of the machine it might also be a foot clutch, hand shift model. I rode a 49 "74" with an 86 cubic inch big bore kit, same sportster tank, foot clutch, hand shift. But I retained the 5.00X16 tire. As set up I could generally beat most cars with motors under 400 ci and yes, they definitally contributed to gray hair.........but you talk about one helluva chick magnet

There is something classic here

#1 is Clearly a Ford Galaxie, but I guess the year is 72. And why is she wearing pantihose without shoes on such rough ground? I prefer GM to Ford, but I could be happy with the right model from either brand. But stockings are a hundred times more attractive than pantihose. A pair of grip-top black stockings and a pair of black high-heel shoes make the perfect party outfit for any fashionable woman. No other items or accessories are necessary.

#2 is a 74 beetle, I think.

#3 is a bit too outdoors for me. I think it's a 99 Suburu Outback. Certainly looks like photos of the Australian outback - flat to the horizon in all directions and not enough greenery to nourish a rabbit.

#4 is a 2000 model VW polo, not noted for its plush ride. I think, however, you could get an extremely plush ride by laying either of those two ladies over the hood.

#5 Walnut door cappings, plenty of space and luxurious upholstery suggest the car is a Rolls Royce (or a Bentley) from around 64. The lady is perfectly dressed for an outing in a car like this. You'll notice it has the factory fitted condom dispenser, an essential option if you want to protect your upholstery against the uncontrolled release of bodily fluids.

#6 is a BMW z3 from around 99.

#7 I think the well-upholstered lady is in a 91 Lada. The KGB have allocated her the task of capturing James Bond, so they have issued her with a high tech car and a couple of big guns.

#8 This is a 55 Chevy, but who is stuck to the door. I'm sure I've seen her pictures a number of times in these forums. Who is she?

#9 is a 78 Fairlane (ford fans help here please)

#10 The woman looks french and she is carrying a pair of those awful butterfly wing sunglasses that we see quite often in old pictures. So I'm going to say the car is a 1958 Simca Aronde.

Now, let's see if I have anything to post.

[Sparky 45]

I'm not as good with them as I am with GM. I'm thinking mid or early '60s Imperial? I could just make out their old logo in the centers of the wheelcovers.
I've heard of Simca, Lada, Trabant, and the like but I've never seen one in person.

My first post ever on here...... The third car is a Mitsubishi Eclipse.
