I was in a hurry and it was dark outside, so I couldn’t do it photographic justice, but what are we looking at here?

Also, is that the actual logo on t he trunk lid, or just somebody’s attempt at a counterfeit Tesla logo?

Many thanks.

Triumph Stag?  But I think that’s only a 2 door so....

I feel like I’ve seen that before, but can’t place it.  Maybe classic Mazda or Isuzu?

It’s not located in ‘Murica, so it could be anything . It looks like an old Toyota Corolla.

Some sort of old Nissan or Datsun, thinking 70s. This is close, but not quite

The GTR looking badge at the front led me down that road.

What the...

The T isn’t countefeit, it’s vaguely ringing a bell, but damned if I can put my finger on it. 

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Teh Penguin of Doom 01/03/2019 at 11:43

I was thinking Galant, but that T looks like an old Toyota badge.

seems to be some variant of Corona Sedan. this is a 74

bit more digging and we got a match. unfortunately the year wasn’t  given where I found this one.

Looks like a mid 70s Toyota Mark II, very similar looking to a Nissan Violet/Datsun 710.

Local Toyota dealer near me has had an old Corona parked out front for years. Cool little car.

C110 Skyline Sedan maybe? It’s a bit different than this one, but a bunch of things look right:

Edit: Nevermind, back looks totally wrong for that, unless there was a major facelift.

Edit: I am incorrect. HFV is correct. It is a Corona.

1972-77 Datsun Bluebird

Here is a good looking one at 10:46

I thought the same, but it’s the totally wrong taillights.

looks the same to me

the 73s had different lights, and the coupe was way different .

Pedantry: Coronas and Corona Mark II’s are different cars. One refers to “ a Corona” as the smaller car and “ a Mark II” is the shorthand for the larger more luxury oriented series.

Think along the same lines as Celica/Supra.

Guys it’s a 1970s Toyota Crown. The T is for Toyota.

The Treminds me of the Maverick’s gas cap, but the car reminds me of the early 70's Toyota Corona. It blew my mind to see a Japanese car with a V-6. It probably has a V -6 or V-8 because it seems to have dual exhaust.
