Steve Sears got this one correct. – Nice job.
I love these cars.
The Studebaker Golden Hawks are my favorite model in that brand.
This is the 1956 Golden Hawk.

Ok…this one is older than what I’ve been serving up.
Again, this is not one of the top 3. This car was also very prone to rust because of the body structure.
Good luck.

Ok stop right now. I know what some of you are thinking. A 1978 Mustang II….. oh please!! There were no muscle cars in the mid and late 70’s. There were no power house Mustangs on the market at that time.
While that is true, the Mustang II did sell over 1 million copies. We had one in our family when I was in college. A 1974 Mustang II Ghia:
1976 Mustang Cobra II
But is labeled “all show and no go” by most critics. I like the look!!! Just to make less exciting you could get the package on a 4 cylinder!!! WHY??? WHY??? WHY???? Oh well. The package was added by Jim Wangers’s Motortown company but only for 1976. (Can you say “collector status”? – yes.) Ford began adding the kit at the plant.
The Snake!!!
1978 King Cobra
1966 Studebaker Cruiser
Not a real great looker was it?

Ok..here is the next round.
This is a tough one and I’ve given a little bit larger image.
This is an American made car. It is not one of the big three but it did have a good run.
It is a 60’s era car but was never considered a muscle car.
Remember we need the car and the year.
Name that Car #6
Have fun. Good luck.
Thanks for playing.

Ok this is one of the big three.
These came with various engine sizes and in two and four door.
Back then not really considered a muscle car, but I’ve seen some you’d call American Muscle with no problem.
Name that Car #4
Good Luck.
Thanks for reading.

If you thought it was a 1966 Old Toronado…you’d be correct!!!

Comment:
1966 Oldsmobile Toronado
Included in my list of mod and upgrades for my 1970 Mustang was some new upholstery.
Now there is always the issue of replacing vinyl with vinyl or replacing it with leather died to the color. But that’s just not going to happen on this “average” budget.
So I ordered a complete set of TMI from M Detail in Riverside, Ca. The price was right and although I’m not in a hurry the shipping was quick.
Now I’ve never done upholstery before, so this will be the first time. I’m also no expert in Corinthian vinyl (umm..I’m no Ricardo Montabon…) or Ruffino vinyl (just for the record I’m against harming Corinthains and Ruffinos so I specifically ordered imitation version) but the quality of the stitching and the thickness of the padding was very impressive.
So I’m going on the record as saying that if want to stay on budget and quality is important give TMI Upholstery a try.
I don’t receive compensations for these review, just make comments on what I like.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for playing. Next one is coming up.

Ok..I enjoy this one.
Here how it works.
A small excerpt of a car photo will be post and you have to guess the car and year.
Each pic will be accompanied by a few hints. These will be production cars, not concepts or one off’s.
I’ll post them as often as possible and keep a tally of the first right answer on the image that follows.
You have to be the first with the right answer and the first to reach 5 correct answers.
The first with five correct answers will win a free gift. Normally, car related DVD, CD or a Bolt Depot Fastener gauge (screw/bolt) – metric or U.S. (These will be mailed to you, so you are going to have to provide an address.)
I’ll start the contest tomorrow (4/11/11). So stay tuned.
Brush up on your car parts. (Additional note: All of these cars will have had appeared on my blog over the past 1.5 years.)
Thanks for reading.
