Just a bunch of random pictures I have:
http://img21.imagevenue.com/loc981/th_72539_Supercar_circle_122_981lo.jpg
blue Zonda, black Zonda, red Maserati 4200GT, De Tomaso Bigua/Qvale Mangusta, Ferrari 550 or 575?, Lamborghini Murcielago, and... what's the last red thing?

AM General, maybe? It's freakishly huge, anyway.

No idea. Photo taken in northern russia. (this is from englishrussia.com)

Car show in the UK somewhere. May be too customized to identify.

I'm not good with old stuff like this, it's even harder when they're modified so much. Same car show.

Smackhead from the rear.

It looks like a Vector, but I'm pretty sure it isn't.

Okay, it's not a real car. Really cool though. (I made up the filename, so you won't find anything searching for that)

Well of course, the site can always use more movies and cars!

Thanks. I was wondering what they were. The movie is set in Iowa, but appears to be shot in South Africa. It's pretty obvious at times, as there's many cars that weren't sold in the US visible and you can see that many of them are right hand drive.

Those ones had me confused though. The movie was released in 1994 and those all appeared to be much older cars which I didn't recognise. I also noticed that they were left hand drive, unlike the majority of the vehicles in the movie.

Nearly all of those cars are flipped over and blown up. There's a good few of them used and they're all similar looking. I thought it was just two models. I wonder why they had all those early to mid 70's American cars in South Africa in 1994? I doubt they imported them specifically for this movie, as if they were importing US police cars you'd expect them to choose a Caprice/Impala, Dodge Diplomat or Ford LTD Crown Victoria which wouldn't look out of place and would probably be quite cheap.

Perhaps I should add those and more captures to the site here? :smile:

I knew you'd get it. :smile:

I thought that last picture looked eerily like a B-body, but Montereys of that generation do have that same sort of swoop, so I gave the benefit of the doubt.
taxiguy
Actually these are three cars, not two. The first one is a 1973-74 Ford Custom 500. The second one is a Mercury mid-size (Montego?) and the third one (last picture only) is a 1974 Plymouth Satilite. :wink:
BlackIce_GTS
I think they're both Mercury Montereys. The first one looks like a '72-'74, and the second one looks like a '69-'72.

Some more stuff I don't recognise. These are painted as Des Moines police, but sure as hell don't look like any US cop cars I've ever seen. Can anyone put a name to them?

Nice potted history of the Trabbi:
http://home.clara.net/peterfrost/trabant.html
Surprising number of the Trabbis pictured have British registrations; I hope they didn't all end up in that guy's field ...
ecclefechan
Ah, so this is the 1957-1963 Trabant? It doesn't really look any older than the infamous Trabant P60, and doesn't look quite as flimsy!

This capture is from a video in Minsk in modern day Belarus just before the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. I knew it was some Eastern Bloc cold-war era vehicle but wasn't aware it was a Trabant. Thanks.

Sachsenring Trabant P50, the Ur-Trabbi, I think.
