Default let's play a game, Identify the car by it's tail lights.

ok, lets play a game;


post of picture of a set of tail lights from any car in history. Only the tail light, so edit the picture to snuff out anything else that would identify the car.

do not post any other information on the vehicle, the first person that guesses correctly posts the next picture once the original poster confirms their guess.

Guess the make, and the year and model if you can.


here is the first one:

Definitely an MG from late 60s/70s vintage.

This one's pretty easy...but it still turns heads, even today.

This one, however, is not so easy...but I'll give you a hint.....it is NOT a vintage Ford Thunderbird, though sometimes confused for one.

Chrysler turbine jet concept car??? I think Jay Leno owns one, they're pretty crazy and can run on jet fuel, diesel, kerosene, moonshine, pretty much any sort of fuel.


Keeping with the "rocket engine" theme. Oh and you must name the correct year because they were a one year only deal.

Bingo. I see you ate your Wheaties this morning.

It was never actually put into production, but a number of them were assigned out to drivers as a test-bed. it turned out to have the same problems as a number of jet aircraft.......very high fuel consumption, long spool-up time for power at low speeds, and slow acceleration until the turbine actually got spooled up.

1968 Dodge Charger.

That was one of the American muscle-cars I grew up with in high school.
