You are mad, Mr. RC45. and Sadistic. I thought it was a volga, but its grill isn't that wide.

Hey - this one should be easy ;)

You have a distinct headlight shape and trim - a unique grill, chrome side trim - hood corner and quite distinct turn signals... :P

Any astute car spotter should at least be able to guess the general family this motor belongs to... ;) :P

Mid 30's Europeans, South Africans and Australians should probably get this one pretty easy.

There is a good chance that your parents/elder borther/sister had a used one as a firt car ;) And youhave either seen it or photos.

Or you are just good. :P

Its an old Holden. I'm thinking along the lines of Kingswood?

^^ Nice close guess... (I have a few obscure Holdens in the "Trivia lineup for next week... ;))

But think European cousin of the ubiquitous GM family saloon :)

Well, if nobody puts another pic, there goes this one.
Pretty obvious, I think.

Damn, I guess there must just be a bit of a resemblance throughout the family of that age.
