So, let's play Guess the make, model (extra credit), and year.
Post away and let us guess. Please make it hard but not entirely impossible.
At least guess make and year. Sometimes model is tough if the photo doesn't give any clues.
Go!

kevin @ eas wroteI wanted to start fairly easy. I'm proud to say my wife, both my kids, and all 6 of my grandkids can tell the difference between a 55, 56, and 57 Chevy. They are doomed to repeat my obsession.Fun game! 1956 Chevy 210
The challenge with any of these types of things is to do them without cheating!
sygazelle wroteNo "porthole"...so not a '56 but a '55 Thunderbird.Here's a fairly easy one, but tricky on the year.

Opel Kadette?
3798j wroteIt's a GM (remembering I am in Australia), not an Opel thoughAgree...no cheating.

3798j wroteYou are correct, but what's missing in this photo, making it a '55 instead of a '56 Thunderbird, is the side vent, not the porthole.No "porthole"...so not a '56 but a '55 Thunderbird.
The porthole was also a feature of the Thunderbird, but it was part of the hardtop.
3798j wroteWithout cheating, I'm guessing a '57 Ford..
HFW003 wroteSo I know GM and Australia's Holden were/are coupled, but I won't be able to even guess at a model name.It's a GM (remembering I am in Australia), not an Opel though
sygazelle wroteFord...yes. '57...no.Without cheating, I'm guessing a '57 Ford.
3798j wrote58 my guessFord...yes. '57...no.
3798j wroteAfter I submitted my incorrect year, I did some research. I now know it's not a '57, but I'm perplexed. I think I've got the correct year but the V8 emblem on your photo is different. I'll wait for the answer and then keep that new information in my mind's old car database.Ford...yes. '57...no.
kevin @ eas wroteNot a '58.58 my guess
3798j wroteI can only imagine no one from outside Australia, without cheating could.So I know GM and Australia's Holden were/are coupled, but I won't be able to even guess at a model name.
You're right though, it is a Holden.
It's a 1960 Holden FB Special Sedan.
Here's one in better condition.
Also came in a station wagon. Looks very similar to an American relative?
sygazelle wroteYou're right. That V8 emblem belongs on a Ford but it's from a year earlier than the car pictured. This is the emblem that should have been on it.After I submitted my incorrect year, I did some research. I now know it's not a '57, but I'm perplexed.
