You’ve got a day or until someone guesses/knows it, whichever comes first.  The prize is a dollar that I will present to you should we ever meet.

    No idea, skoda/renault/similar from the late 50s early 60s is my guessing

    Incorrect on Manufacturer(s), Latter half of your date guess is Correct.

  • Rhys says:

    Looks like it has an American influence, but then they all kind of had similar looks back then.

  • kyteler says:

    Impossible to make the call on what might have influenced it, to be honest.

  • Josh says:

    Its a Hino Fantabulosa.

    Contessa 900

  • kyteler says:

    Hah, Josh. Bravo sir! Dammit. I am likely to see you again too, so I will have to part with my dollar.

  • kyteler says:

    Jarred; I agree, I thought Mazda when I first saw it too.

  • jarred says:

    would never have guess hino, keep forgetting they made cars, stink wanted that dollar for dollar pies

  • D says:

    Damn, I definately wasn’t betting on it being japanese, guess I should have looked at the numberplate!

  • kyteler says:

    I so thought you’d guess it. No actual reasoning behind it other than your connection with a later Contessa. Reminds me though, I should grab the Contessa badge out of the workshop at the old mans and question him about that. I certainly don’t recall a Contessa in the family albums anywhere.
