Winner! German (I think) Ford Taurus P3. That's all I know. I saw that picture and had to grab it. It is not a bug-eye Sprite, but it is sort of bug-eyed.

That puppy is a Peugeot (isn't it?). Can't tell you what model. My wife's family had a 504 diesel wagon when we met. Long wheelbase, soft springs, tracked well in blizzards, slow as hell.

Yeah, 404 wagon. Designed by Pininfarina, no way! Look at the cool taillights and bumper guards.

The white car is a Ford TauNus not TauRus 17M from early 1960's.

Always like the Peugeot 404/504/505 wagons. Great cars. Really likes the 505 wagon I got to drive, first automatic trans I ever drove. 3 rows of seats if I recall. 505 wagon was a really sweet looking car.

Saab 92 or more correctly the 'Ursaab' 92001. Must have looked like aliens had landed!

Oh, TauNus!

Yeah, this Saab was sort of the prototype before the first production car? Very slippery shape.
