Just about everybody thought the 405 was an Altima but no one realized it was a French Mercedes. Don’t feel bad though, as 405s are about as rare as Duesenbergs on U.S. roads.
As you can see, our next CC is very green. Could it be a survivor from the ’70s? Maybe, maybe not.
Second-generation Saturn S-Series, though I don’t recall that frog-green color.
’99-’03 Mustang
Looks like a 1995 NYG Dodge Neon.
You may be right. I was trying to think of ’90s cars that had that sort of glued-together look, and the Neon would have been another. I thought Saturn because I had one, I guess.
You just made me remember that it could also be….
A 1995 NYG PLYMOUTH Neon..
Chrysler being too lazy to come up with a different name for the two cars..
They did have that look to them, not bad cars though.
I think you’re spot-on with your guess; of course, I was also certain with the Alti-Pug.
If I remember correctly, sticking with the same model name for both brands was a deliberate decision on Chrysler’s part, a rather shrewd one at that. Chrysler knew it had to change public perception of its compact cars, and that neither Dodge nor Plymouth had any cachet whatsoever with buyers in that segment. To that end, “Neon” was the true brand, sold by Dodge and Plymouth.
It almost worked, too, if only the cars themselves had been more durable.
looks like a mercedes green to me…but the car.. thats all i got for now
Um; the “French Mercedes” moniker died with the 505, the last rwd and “real” Peugeot. Of course, now that Mercedes is building cheap fwd cars….
I didn’t know it was ever a thing. I haven’t driven a fwd Mercedes and I haven’t driven a rwd Peugeot so it sounds very odd to hear the two compared. Certainly the Mercs I have driven do not resemble Peugeots in any way.
In the old days, when Peugeot built very fine rwd cars (203, 403, 404, 504, 505) they were often called that because they were the closest thing to them in terms of comfort, quality and certain other characteristics.
I was thinking of your 404 when I wrote that sentence 🙂
I might be way off, but I’ll take a wild guess and say Datsun F-10.
Renault r5 aka le car?
Chrysler/Dodge Neon. Beaten to the draw again by early risers!
