I did it, and on-time clue. And roger628 gets the win, although his guess of a ’73-’74 was a tiny bit off. But nobody really got closer, so it’s his. So while I get some fresh air and look for cars and other spring time sights, go for it.
CC Clue – Early Edition
– Posted on March 28, 2011
That looks rather like an early Chevrolet Sprint or the parent Suzuki version.
+1 Was gonna say the L-Body Dodge Charger from the 80s, but it was slopier up front.
I’m going to go with continuity with recent CCs and say it’s a Plymouth Reliant.
Edit: Amend that to Dodge Aries (or “Aries K”).
The closest I can get is a 1981 Dodge Mirada
Looks like a Mirada to me, too.
I rarely guess on the yank-tanks but this looks lot like the nose of an early USA Sierra – so I’m guessing 1st Gen Tempo
Mid-Eighties Subaru Justy.
I’m thinking it’s an ’88 Justy RS. There were no US-market Justies ’til the ’87 model year, and if this particular example has the mono-white paint scheme and 4WD, that would make it an RS. These were odd ducks – only available on the US market for eighteen months (model years ’87 and ’88), and only in ’88 with 4WD. They were redesigned in ’89, giving Subaru four different compact/subcompact hatchback models on the market, in five different body styles, inside three years. Fast-forward a couple years, and they all vanished – there wasn’t a Subie hatch on offer from 1991 to 2008, when the new Impreza lost the wagon back.
dammit!!!!!!
you always beat me to these! π the Justy is my guess as well!
Suzuki SS80F
