Identifying a car.



Here is a postcard from Sitka Alaska,from around 1970 I would say.
I am having an hard time identifiing the red car on the right,closest to the camera.
The gold in front of the red looks like a 1968 Plymouth Satelite?

The first car on right I think is a 67 or 66 Ford Falcon

From the '66 Ford Falcon brochure.





From the '67 brochure.




Comparing these two images to the postcard, I would say that it is a '66 as the '66 has a dark spot on the right side of the rear-end trim just to the left of the right-side taillight that says, I think, "Ford," while the '67 back end is bright chrome all the way across. The car in the postcard appears to have that right-side dark spot.

I'm 99% sure the Plymouth is a '69, and from the looks of it, it's a GTX.

The car in your shop? I see two cars, as one has a split windshield. I would need to see more so I'm going to take a stab at it and say a Simca Aronde.

The car in the shop in the top picture looks like a 1953 Plymouth. The other looks like a 1949 or 1950 Plymouth or Dodge.

I did some research on the history of these cars a while back,and found that the 1950 special DeLuxe was imported to Norway in 1956.I made the assumtion it was imported from US as a used car.If this car was made for export,it was more likely imported from an European country,probably Sweden.

I have owned to Simcas 1100TI and 1508GT.
But come to think about it wasn't Ford involved with Simca in the Vedette period?

I dunno - I just know I can identify a Simca when I see one.
