I think there's an Opel Isuzu by Buick or whatever it was called then too.

No? In front of the Eagle/Hornet Sportback?

Datsun 510! I just can't believe the shit we used to drive.

Most confusing car name of all time? It might be, but I can't really distinguish it.

Yep!

Shop-teacher called Nova. He's right.

I promise a Buick Isuzu by Cadillac in that pic somewhere.

MGB! bottom left behind the G-van. This whole pic seems to be very GM-centric.

Bonus points for correct number of Chevettes.

That's a Monte Carlo, my friend.

It's actually Rolling Acres in Akron, Ohio.

Jedidiah > Jonee 01/18/2015 at 23:12

It's close by the Monte. Looks like this

Ew, a Chevette.

Oh, weird, I see it. The Kinja square was way off. Or, I was mixing squares and comments.

Jedidiah > Jonee 01/18/2015 at 23:26

0

The way it crops the squares makes it difficult for people to know what you're talking about sometimes.

Jonee > Jedidiah 01/18/2015 at 23:29

Ah, this is where I got confused. I thought you were referring to the Monte Carlo in the lower right which could be confused with a Matador coupe. But, I think you're right about the 4-door Matador Brougham(?).

Damn. I've never lived in Ohio. Can't say I'd ever wanted to either.

Which one? I see a Celica and a Monza/Skyhawk.

The car with the dark vinyl top isn't a Matador, if that's the one you're referring to

Bad72AMX > Jonee 01/18/2015 at 23:48

Upon closer investigation, I think you're correct. The side glass doesn't have the right kink to be an AMC

Jedidiah > Bad72AMX 01/18/2015 at 23:49

Referring to this slightly above the Jeep Wagoneer

Bad72AMX > Jedidiah 01/18/2015 at 23:50

I,think that's a Monte Carlo, not a much cooler Matador Coupe

ranwhenparked > Jonee 01/18/2015 at 23:51

Granada Coupe .... or is it a Mercedes? I swear, they look so much alike!

Jedidiah > Bad72AMX 01/18/2015 at 23:54

0

I think you're right. The roofline is too formal to be a Matador

Jonee > Jedidiah 01/18/2015 at 23:55

Diagonal from the Chevette? That is a Monte Carlo.

Jonee > Bad72AMX 01/18/2015 at 23:57

No?

Jedidiah > Jonee 01/18/2015 at 23:57

You're correct. Bad72AMX already pointed this out. I saw the big headlights and wide grill and got optimistic.

Back in the day, my uncle traded his Rebel Machine on a Monte of that generation instead of the Matador Coupe he had been considering. So many bad decisions

Stuff like this is the reason I can never enjoy old movies. My focus is drawn to the cars and away from the actual filmmaking

Yeah, I know. I especially have trouble with 50's and 60's European films. So many gorgeous cars.

Are you from the Akron area? I live in Cuyahoga Falls.

Pretty sure that if you tried to take the same picture now, you'd only get a picture of the guy who was stealing the camera from you. But then you wouldn't have the camera...

Funny that you say that.

My girlfriend's parents just use an antenna for TV, and one of the channels they get shows CHiPs all the time. When I was little, that was one of my favorite shows, but now it's nearly unwatchable. Luckily, when it's on, I'm too distracted by cars in the background to pay attention to the moronic plot.

This is probably true. I'm not from Akron, no, but I do know the area.
