1970's car id
 
Not an interesting car, I'm sure, but what is that 2 door car just to the left of the clock in this photo?

1970 Ford Capri

Not a Capri, it’s an AMC

Jim Richards 10-06-2018 07:08 PM

^^^ Looks like an early 1970s AMC Hornet Hatchback coupe.

HardDrive 10-06-2018 07:31 PM

I looked at both to the above, and neither seems correct. The Capri and the Hornet both had a concave rear line, even on the hatchback. The car in the photo looks convex. And I can't find anything that matches those tail lights.

The bumper in the photo almost looks like someone did a home repair.

I really should not be spending my time on such a meaningless search.....:D

Mercury Bobcat with a home build bumper?

Jim Richards 10-06-2018 07:37 PM

I was wrong about the Hornet. I agee with dafischer that it’s the Spirit.

I think you nailed it. Later 70s model. SmileWavy

My first thought was the Mercury variant of the Pinto..the Bobcat.
But I think it may well be the AMC.

AMC spirit.

Edit: The hint about AMC helped, and while I was off somewhere else on Pelican, you guys beat me to it.

Jim Richards 10-06-2018 07:57 PM

It looks better than most of the other cars in that picture (and of that time). It’s a pity AMC died out.

dafischer 10-06-2018 08:07 PM

This was a case for death.

My grandfather's 70 Ambassador wagon. Drove it for several months while I was between functioning Alfas in the late 70's. Ughhh... Family Truckster

On the left, what is the second parked car from the bottom?

dafischer 10-06-2018 08:28 PM

Looks like a BMW 320i.

herr_oberst 10-06-2018 08:45 PM

Looks Japanese to me. Maybe a Datsun

LWJ 10-06-2018 09:16 PM

Saab Sonnett was my guess. Window in back all wrong. Hmmm.

stomachmonkey 10-06-2018 09:44 PM

71' Harley XLH Sportster with super rare aero kit.

Think they made less than 1 of them.

911boost 10-06-2018 09:47 PM

Old Subaru wagon?

oldE 10-07-2018 02:54 AM

To me it looks like a Toyota. Corolla wagon, maybe.

Best
