Looks like a Ford Granada hearse to me. What catches my attention is the nice looking Alfa 164 below it.

Its just plastic so we would be here a lot longer waiting on that to rot away

(or not here for that matter)

coupequattro

Some of the plastics used for rear lights don't stand up well, the ones on the mid 1980's Audi coupe suffer very badly from the sunlight and go all brittle and opaque.

The 'chrome' is more than likely stainless steel.

1948Wolseley

The perfect car for someone who's had all the nearside rear glass on their Crown smashed...

Alright lads. I dont knwo what kind of car it is but I do remember the old woman driving it around years back. Dont even know if its a classic either tbh but I found the pic in the waterford forum and said I'd stick it in here for ye. Sorry there is only the front of it but sure ye will know what it is anyways.

Thats a peugeot 504 i reckon.Looks pretty hanging..
