Or maybe one of these (

"The Datsun/Nissan Z-car, introduced as the 240Z as the 1960s sputtered to a close, now ranks in the pantheon of great Japanese things, right up there alongside Nikon cameras, fatty tuna sushi, Katana swords, and Mothra."

Why do people get the brand of their car in huge letters across the top of their windshield?
I'm gonna get KIA on mine. Maybe ALFA ROMEO.

To be that dad, 240Zs are fucking great.
They're not so uncommon down here, but it's always great to see em getting around.
And Mothra rules.

Those are rad!
Is that Mothra car a valiant/American Dodge?
Looks like a Valiant VC a bit.

These are still my favourite:

Don't know what that car is.

Will have to do some more investigating.
Thanks, Pope, while I was looking I found this photo of a Valiant Charger though:

OK, not positive, but, after some more research, I think it may be a 1963 Dodge 330.
You tell me.

Yeah they're sweet.
I reckon you're right, Chank. Looks pretty close.
Vali Chargers are sweet. They used to be my favourite car but as I've matured the 2 door VE-VG Pacers have taken my fancy.
That 265 Slant 6 Hemi....UNF!

Holy shit that is madness!
That is a freaking had ass celica.
Those 70s ones were always cool.
If you guys aren't familiar with the Holden Gemini, it was a tiny little muscler we got at the same period in time.
Cool little modding platforms.
