Early 70's Ford Falcon with a blower sticking out of the hood at the bottom right? |

What's the white pick up on the right? Looks like El Camino, but I think it's not |

The pick-up is a Holden WB, I think. |

![]() The black car left of the Volvo is a Holden, or? In the foreground, between the Falcon and the ugly little Daewoo Matiz a Holden Gemini, the Aussie-brother of the Opel Kadett C. Worth to list, I'd say. |

A very capable little car with lots of character and good fun to drive - reminded me of the original Fiat Panda for being very well designed within its objectives, and perhaps being a spiritual successor to the 2CV. And it was originally the Lucciola design proposal by Italdesign Giugiaro for a Fiat Cinquecento concept, so has pedigree. |

XR/T/W/Y Falcon 1966-72', Holden Torana, Daewoo Matiz and a Holden Commodore Wagon |

This is ... *cough* ... err, ... *slugging down the words* ... Let's say it as a question: Is there anything wrong with your spirituality? Or the way, you conceive it? Sorry, but you don't have to be a 2 CV-fan, to feel annoyed, that ANY actual low-spec tiny little shitbox (from everywhere, not just Korea or Asia) was put in the same league as timeless design classics. ![]() |

That's my point - the Matiz was a lot better than the normal tiny little shitbox. We used to get them as hire cars occasionally at a good discount, so I did several long trips in them and they were good. And I did often think that if someone wanted to build a 2CV or R4 for the 1990s, it would end up being similar to the Matiz for cheerful capability and character. |

Something different, adressed to our Australian members: Does this picture show a "normal" 2009 Australian parking lot or are there too much old vehicles for this to be realistic? I don't know how often you see a classic car in Australian every-day-traffic but this looks a bit staged to me- or is it plausible? -- Last edit: 2013-04-09 23:30:32 |

I believe it is Ford Falcon [XT]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_XT_Falcon |

Is there an Aussie assembled VW bug here? ![]() |
◊ 2013-03-10 05:57 |
That bug....you're probably right. It was probably assembled in Aus |
◊ 2013-03-10 05:58 |
Yes it does and you still see patinated/original classics in traffic sometimes. -- Last edit: 2013-03-10 06:00:38 |

Bug is this one: /vehicle_578509-Volkswagen-Typ-1-1962.html |

Are all 1960ies Bug in Down Under locally assembled? Can anyone identify the windscreen-stricker, which says something with "imported" http://pics.imcdb.org/5605/9044.9.jpg ? |

The Falcon is the most interesting. As a shot of a parking lot, its not that unrealistic. Maybe not that many classics, but otherwise, fairly normal ( |

The purple torana (left of the volvo) is a 1977 lx sedan and the green torana (right of the volvo) is a 1973 lj 2 door I lnow this because I own them have for many years and still do restored in my garage with my dad when I was a teenager, the red falcon is a 1968 xt gt replica not a blower out the bonnet but twin carbs on a tunnel ram it was my neighbours car back then |
