Do you have his permission to take over this game?

Do you have his permission to take over this game? 

 

The person who started this thread has not updated it in nearly two years and has not logged in at all in over four months. I think we can safely say it was abandoned, so y'all have fun. PontiacFiero84 can have his thread back if he shows back up, but until then, if someone else wants to take over go ahead.

Sounds like fun, but someone needs to revive this game! 

 

Pick a guess at what this swedish little bastard might be called:

No idea, I was ever good with 50's cars (except late-50s). I'm going to say....1953 Chevrolet?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Incorrect.

[Delta 88 262]

Well can I have a hint? You can't post cars that are too obscure or no one will want to play

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Fair enough. It's not American.

[Fantozzi 4,067]

Well, if it is no ford, than it could be a volvo?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

It might be.

[Fantozzi 4,067]

Man, this drove me mad.Used googles reverse image search. So I'm out (thinking google kills this game idear).

Yeah, I found it too. 

Spoiler

1954 Volvo Philip

I think the best way to avoid the image being searchable is by saving the image of the selected car, then uploading it to an image-sharing website like Imgur, then linking that uploaded image to here. And be sure not to include the name of the car in the file name.

Here's an easier one:

Edit: Nevermind, it's still searchable. Back to the drawing board...

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Looks like a Mazda. 323?

And can we just silently agree that if you use a google reverse image search, you're out, and if you use it to actually cheat, you are officially a pleb?

edit: although going on google and searching aorund among things you think it might be is acceptable if you're at a loss, right?

Nope, not a Mazda.

Hint: It's American.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Dodge Omni?

Also, I feel like the two-post rule shouldn't apply here. There's too few of us playing and the game would die out. If admin disagrees, I apologise awfully.

[airman15 4,111]

That looks a lot like a member of the Escort family, but the badges say this is more like a Mercury Lynx. Exact year, I don't know.

[Delta 88 262]

Correct, it's a Mercury Lynx. 1982 to be specific. One of you can go ahead now if you want.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Well, Airman guessed it, so it's his turn, isn't it?

[airman15 4,111]

Well since no one else has, I will go ahead and post the next one.

After reading back a bit for the thread, I have taken the time to find a photo of one that will keep you guys busy. And no, it won't be searchable because I was the one who took the photo! It's also noteworthy this car was owned by a very powerful man at one point. So have at it!

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

To start off, is it a Lincoln?

Yep! You're in the right direction! If you can name the the model, I will give you the win. If you can name the year or the person who owned it (look at the wall at the top right), that would be impressive!

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

I'll go with Lincoln K, 1933 and... um... Frank Lloyd Wright?

[airman15 4,111]

Looks like we have a winner! 

1933 Lincoln KB was the answer. The photo car is in the California Automotive Museum and was owned by A. P. Giannini. He was the founder of the Bank of Italy which later became the Bank of America. The renaming happened just three years before the car was built.

Since you got the answer, you can go ahead and post the next one.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Oh crap, I didn't have one prepared. Hope it's not too easy.

[Delta 88 262]

Looks kinda like something Mazda would have made in the 80s, but I don't think it's a Mazda. I don't recognize any of the badging on it.

Not sure, but it's definitely not American. Then again, for all I know, it's something weird like Ford of Europe or Ford of Australia.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Not quite.

[airman15 4,111]

The Australian plates and hubcap logos say this is this a Holden of some kind. I'd wager it was built sometime in the mid-80's.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

You're on the right track. I'll need a model name, though.

[airman15 4,111]

Torana?
