I believe when I was very young, I used to be driven around in something like this:

Gotta be Russian or maybe an old Trabant.

[hech54]

Could be an OLD Volvo too...but doubtful.

3 water pump failures in 4 weeks... multiple engine problems.
Swapped cars three times.. all three exhibited similar problems.
Electrics were shite.

looks like a '81 or '82 Lada 1500SL

like the dodge cornet , torsion bar font suspension -- one tough car ... only the polaris was stronger and bigger .. we had 2 of the dodges as cornet station wagons .. one had a 400 and the other had a 440 full pack .. i used them on sky trips ... you could hit 120mph on snow - with a trailer , with 6 people (teens) on board and still drive with one hand while the other was holding a "beverage" .... we never used snow tires either , just those new then michelin radials ....

[BJ_M]

come to think of it -- the newport was the polaris --

It is, (or it's supposed to be) a Moskvich-2140. The design was probably bought from Lada.

i thought someone said it already ... it is a AMC Ambassador

[BJ_M]

it is new than a 70 - as 70's had dual head lamps .. im guessing 72 .... could even be a Rebel , if it is - it is a rare car ..

those cars were also very reliable like the eagles ... AMC had some dogs , but they had some very good models also ..

[MOVIEGEEK]

1977 Ford Maverick sedan.
It looked like a cop car but I had alot of good times with it.

[glockjs]

oh man am i sure glad i was born in 81 and couldnt drive until well into the 90's...just lookin at some of those cars

[Leoslocks]

I paid $350 for this car in 68. It was 5 years old with 30K on it. The bonnet opened from the wind screen side.
Wonderful driving experience except that the Super Beatle would eat it for lunch.

it even says 1500sl on the front - which was a pretty good clue i thougt ..

but your right -- most of those cars were (based all on a fiat anyway) all the same pretty well

[ViRaL1]

Anybody remember this one?
