@identifying-cars-in-posts vs. @identifying-cars-in-posts-poorly vs. @identifying-cars-in-art vs. @what-is-this-car

[identifying-cars-in-art]

A correction has been given from @things-about-cars-in-posts (who can also be found at @what-is-this-car)!

Verdict: 2011–2021 Toyota Aqua (NHP10)

Source: Assassination Classroom (Koro-sensei's car)

Verdict: No clue. I found lots of small hatchbacks with similar rear lights but not the weird hexagon. So here's a list of cars that it's NOT: Toyota Aygo, MG3, any Volvo, Honda Fit/Jazz, Fiat Punto, Renault Scenic, Suzuki Splash.

If you have seen the weird hexagon before, please let me know what car (or at least make) it is because I swear I saw it IRL once and I've never seen it since...

signal boost!

these guys know more than me + also I only do art, but they do real car photos too :)

Hi

This is a blog which, like the blog @things-about-cars-in-posts from which it arguably stems, is inspired by and in tribute to the late (?) @identifying-cars-in-posts, with which it has no further relation. It has no greater goal than to provide that same car IDing service to Tumblrinae the world over. It was created by @tumblehcendrum, was joined by @literallyjustjack and @brick-enthusiast, and can be joined by anyone so desiring through the things-about-cars-in-posts Discord.

We hope you enjoy its work and would be grateful if you shared it.

Verdict: 2010*–2013 Toyota Corolla (10th gen, sedan, E150 wide body, *post-facelift)

what else could go wrong …?

[identifying-cars-in-art]

Verdict:

[foreground] 15~20,000,000 BCE - present Rainbow Trout (custom)

[red car] 2006-2016* Chevrolet Impala

[white truck] 1999-2002 GMC Sierra (GMT800, pre-facelift)

[others] ???

*there were a lot of facelifts over the years and sub-models, but I'm not good enough to identify which exactly – but I'm going to say probably an SS or similar because of the spoiler

My other car is a rainbow trout

@things-about-cars-in-posts might be able to help!

Also, if you know anything about these tiny three-wheeler trucks, I would love to know more about what kind of bizarre niche they fulfilled...

I've been trying to find out what this truck is for forever... you'd think having three wheels would make it easier to find!

The truck is from episode five (Brittle Bullet) of FLCL!!

Good news! It's definitely a Daihatsu. They were known for their 3-wheeler trucks in the 50s/60s.

I reckon it's a CM, but I'm not an expert on trucks, so maybe if this post is reblogged around enough an expert might be able to confirm or correct this?

Verdict: 1962* Daihatsu CM

*the model years are a bit unclear for these as I went by the wiki date, whereas I can see some CM8s made as late as 1968

Verdict: 2015-2019* Skoda Superb III Sedan (*pre-facelift)

So those two cars, in order, are the 1966-68 Ford Mustang Fastback (which it appears to mostly be based off) and the 1969-72 Chevrolet Chevelle SS (which some features were inspired by).

Now what threw me off was that wraparound back window that I had to find some match for – and here's why...

This is a higher resolution picture of the rear of the Mustang Fastback:

Notice that the detail that looks like a louvred wraparound window on the lower resolution reference picture is actually a vent of some kind It's not actually part of the window – just the unfortunate angle of the photo.

Unable to see the front or back of the vehicle or other similarly defining features that tend to follow brand styling patterns, and also unable to properly identify the wheel rims, I focused on that 'unusual window'...

... hence why I came up with this as my verdict despite some incongruities in details!

So in conclusión, it was an amalgamation all along, and I was hyperfocusing on the wrong details 😅

Thank you so much @frijolebean for the explanation/clarification! This was a super fun one to try to identify :D

@frijolebean can I know what car it actually is? I'm driving myself crazy with uncertain speculations 🙃

Verdict: [1962 or 1965] Maserati 3500 GT Coupé – Moretti bodywork version

Explanation: I'm not confident of this verdict at all – but I want to say it's a Maserati because of the wheels, and 60s/70s era because of the wedge shape. The unusual panoramic rear window threw me, and I could only think of the Moretti bodywork version of the 3500GT, of which only two were ever made, and specifically only made as conversions after accidents. Niche? Well, it's certainly exclusive enough for Bruce Wayne to own...

Note: A correction has since been issued with full breakdown 😄 (here)

Verdict: 2020–present Kia Carnival

What is it with idol manhwa and this specific car??? Is it a popular car for idol group managers IRL? If I had a nickel for every time a white 2020 Kia Carnival was featured in an idol manhwa...

Source: DC comics — Red Hood/Arsenal #1

Verdict: 2015 Koenigsegg Agera RS

[Explanation: 2015-2018 technically, but this comic was published in 2015. Alternatively, it might be the 2014-2015 Agera One:1, especially since the RS was only unveiled in March (and Red Hood/Arsenal was released in June) but ultimately I figured not because that one's track-focused... not that Jason would particularly care about road-legality. Regardless, it's one of the Ageras, and it's not the regular R because the wing-mirrors are more svelte.]

[same as last post]

Verdict: 1964-65 Porsche 356C Cabriolet
