@canyakker: #NameThatCar (SCNR)

Here's a likely #YoungTimer internet find, which could be titled

"Automobile Still Life"

And it also serves very well for a #NameThatCarChallenge.

(Please post any guesses or hints with a content warning, so that others can do their own guesses, too. Thanks!)

#NameThatCar #Mosstodon #Scrapyard #StillLife #Stillleben #WeirdCarMastodon

The lower A pillar of a maybe dark petrol metallic (probably 90s) car with a large rusty hole at the bottom of the A pillar with a small plant and some moss growing out of the hole.

Source: unknown, internet find (by a friend) — I'm happy to refer to the source if someone knows it.

@clanger9: Let's see if these hashtags help you figure out what car that is: #NameThatCar #NameThatCarChallenge

@DazzlingDamo: What about a spontaneous #NameThatCar challenge? 😇

Cc @VeroniqueB99 #NameThatCarChallenge

For today's #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge it's something blue and generally desirable.
Can you name it from this bit of wing?

View of the top of the wing and part of the bonnet of a pale metallic blue car.
The windscreen has a chrome surround an the mirror on the passanger door is quite square and chrome backed.
It seems both of the wipers park well over to the passanger side.

So the answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge a Buick... More or less!
It is in fact 1938 Mc Laughlin Buick Special, built in Canada for Right-Hand-Drive markets this one was delivered to Sunderland in the UK in 1938 so survived WWII and some terrible weather!
This beautifully restored example of what must be a rare car has appeared on screen in various films and TV shows!
Well done if you got it right, or at least that it was a #Buick Special.
#WeirdCarMastodon #BuickSpecial

The boot/trunk handle of a 1930's car. The handle bears the manufacturer name McLaughlin Buick. Beneath this is a number 8 in red semi circle. Thia refers to it having an 8 cylinder engine.

Right hand side of a black 1930's car.
There is a spare wheel carrier built in the wing, this bears the legend Buick. To the right of this the word Special is visible on the side of the the engine housing.

As it is pre-war, so very hard to identify I have given you a second image. #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar

For today's #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge we have something a little bit older than the TVR which was last vehicle. It's big, it's black but can you name it from this unusual view of the wing?
This one is definitely a Classic Car!

View of the wing and fender of an older style car, viewed from the left hand front door looking forwards. .
The car is black witn significant chrome work along sides and around a wheel shape. A wing mirror with along arm is visible as is an old sytle headlamp on a stalk. A period AA badge is below the headlamp. A bonnet adornment is partial visible,it appears to have spread wings.

Side view of the front of a black ore-war car. There is a large chrome grille with horizontal bars, a chrome bumper with period driving lamps. The headlamp is a pod attached to the side of the car, it also has chrome trim.

The answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge, it's a TVR Griffith 500. The details on it are mad, slits in the bonnet and the odd silver button was the door release.
Not sure what is happening wirh #TVR these days! Not the best times to have a Russian owner, especially as he didn't seem to be a great owner to start with. A shame they are not making mad things like this anymore.
Thanks to everyone who had a guess, well done if you got it or close to it.
#ClassicCars #WeirdCarMastodon

Rear left hand corner of a metallic green TVR Griffith 500. An oval black badge with silver script and edging bearing the model name is visible in the centre of the image.

Time for today's #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge. Today you get two photos to work with. They didn't built a lot of these but they are distinctive.!
It's quite new but definitely a collectable future classic.

Bonnet of a bright metallic green car. The bonnet has a slit through which the engine is visible. The bits of wing visible appear rounded.

The answer to yesterdays #NameThatCar challenge was as a fair number of people worked out it was a #Chevrolet #Impala with the consensus it was a 1960 model.
It is one of those cars that, while not really my thing, is a super attractive piece of automotive art, created by Detroit at close to the height of its power. I was particularly taken that it seems to still have a dealer badge on it.
Thanks to everyone who had a guess, well done if you got it right.
#WeirdCarMastodon #ClassicCars

The Impala badge on the side of a 1960 Chevrolet Impala the car is Marine Blue with extensive chrome work on the side of the car.

The centre of the boot / trunk lid of a Marine Blue Impala. In the centre of the image is a Chevrolet badge above a chrome V and key lock.
Just below and to the left of the lock is a Calhoun Dallas badge.

So #WeirdCarMastodon folks after an unscheduled break, for which I can only apologise, it's the return of the #NameThatCar challenge.

Today's images are I think very distinctive, I suspect one would need to know their American cars, to be able to get it.

The rear light cluster of a period American car. The lights are arranged as three individual lamps each with a chrome surround. The lamps are very pointy. There is a big chrome bumper below the lights and thick chrome strip around the rear panel. A little piece of bodywork is visible it is mainly marine blue with a white stripe. There are chrome strips either side of the white stripe. The car appears to have a boot/trunk.

The door mirror on a car with blue bodywork, viewed from the back of the mirror. The mirror has a distinctive chrome three armed support that holds the mirror glass in place.

@TheBreadmonkey: Actually I think your original picture shows a Swedish #Toppola demountable camper on a #Saab, too, albeit an early one on a #Saab99 with Dutch number plate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toppola

Definitely no Morris Minor given those rather modern taillights.

The answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge is a car that I like the look of, but have never really desired, despite owning its siblings! I would like to drive one sometime! The image with its odd vents made a few folks to think "rear-engined" whereas it is in fact Triumph's pocket homage to the E-Type, the #Triumph #GT6 MKIII. The vents are either cabin air or just decoration!
Well done if you got it right!

#WeirdCarMastodon #TriumphGT6 #ClassicCars #OldTimerCars

Front 3/4 view of a purple Triumph GT6 MK3. It is parked in a field amongst other classic cars.

For the next #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge something very different to a Mondeo!
As ever can you name it from this image of a slopy side?

The side rear of a red car with a sloping roof. There is a grille or vent behind the window. The part of the side visible has a curved rear edge and push to open (slightly) catch for ventilation.

@davidwilkins @RobertJackson58585858 saw this one in the wild a while back... I even featured it in a #NameThatCar challenge. A surprising number of folks correctly identified it.

A two-tone Red over white Nash Metropolitan parked with the roof down.

The answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge is a car that for a while was so ubiquitous in the UK it was referenced in politics!
As many of you worked out it is a #Ford #Mondeo MK2 2005 model in posh Ghia X trim.
This dates from a time when every volume manufacturer had a D segment car, nearly all of which, most like this were great family transport. Sadly all including the Mondeo are no longer in production.
Well done if you got it right, thanks for the guesses
