A very rare 1930 Graham-Paige Convertible Coupe:
Seen today on a classic car meeting in Limburg (Lahn). Graham-Paige was a car company from the USA. Has anyone heard of it?

The new 2017 Toyota Yaris had its german premiere (ahead of the IAA) in my hometown! Its pre-facelift model will end production in Summer 2017. This sighting actually gets into the "funny" category because i got photo-bombed by a cat.

2012 SAAB 9-5 SportCombi. There used to be two 9-5 wagons parked here but I've only seen this one here the last couple of weeks.
1993 Volvo 855 GLE converted into a pickup truck. I think it was built buy a local school for the project class that you attend at the last year of high school.
Solstad SAAB seen yesterday.

Are you talking about the red 1971-73 Ford Mustang? Otherwise the Mr. Happy Smashy Jaguar
That looks like 1973/74 version to me
That is Park Avenue Ultra
That is Buick Regal 4-Door Sedan.
That is 1995/96 version due to absence of trim at the rear of the rear bed.

As you said, you have a lot...
1/2 .. still unknown to me too
3 Volvo PV444 ? ( but i'm really, really unsure of my shot on this one )
5 Impala seems to be 1968, the white light seems to be a little different from the Supernatural one ( my reference for 1967 ones )
9 what happened to that Jag ? weren't they expensive enough to have tail lights as a standard equipment ?
10 looks like something made from a Beetle
16 Mercedes S-Class
17 BMW 5 Series
19 Lotus Esprit , pretty nice ( and pretty rare ) find
28 looks like 1990-1991 tail lights to me
32 looks like a 1992 Corolla to me ( circled T badge )
33 if you didn't checked the plate, could go as far as 1993, the wagon kept the older tail lights until the new design in 1994
36/49 Both are Suzuki Samurai
37 looks Taurus to me
42 looks 1991-1992 ( 1993 and up had colored bumpers )
47 that gen is 1993-1999 but i can't see the grille enough to see if it is 1996-1999 ( and look like a replacement one anyway )
48 as said by rjluna, a Buick Regal ( 1995-1996 one )
53 this is a 1997 only by clear turn signal
56 looks like someone just took a VW Thing and jacked it up
57 2000-2003 Honda S2000
58 London taxi this is something you don't see everyday.... but i don't know the name

D'oh - I really screwed up on the Nova. The huge 1974+ bumpers threw me off, I forgot 1975+ had a completely different body.

#9 - That was at a body shop so who knows

I believe these Ford Aspire have problem retaining amber colour tinning that could break down in course of time
interesting/funny/special cars sightings
Published 13/04/2017 @ 13:51:16, By Baube
exactly, the amber totally went away ( and making me say 1997 even if they don't have those black dividers )
should look like http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/515/4421/1287210042_large.jpg
one of my uncles had one ( a 1995 ) and he had the amber turn signal ( ok, he bought it new, which helped to have them... )

Seen today in Flanders, Belgium.
Chevrolet Astro

At least for that one I could take a better pic while waiting at the light:
And about 10 days ago in East of Brussels ring road, a US-specs Honda :

Chevrolet Task-Force (1955-59), here with the 1955-57 front fender. The small bed indicates a ½-ton 3100.
On the right: a 1980+ C-Series, due to the external mirror. I'd say a 1980 model only, as it seems to have the 1973-80 flat hood.
On the left: a 2000-06 Tahoe.
2WD model (it doesn't seem to have a front differential) with a 1985-87 grille, so either a 1985-86 C-Series or a 1987 R-Series.
As already said by Baube, a Lotus Esprit. If I'm not mistaken, a 1981+ S3/Turbo which seems to have Turbo written between the door and the rear wheel arch (like this one).
1997–2002 LTI TX1, or more likely a 2002-06 TX2, as 250 LHD models were imported in USA in 2003 and 2004 (see also here).
From what I understood, TX2s look almost the same as TX1s (some small details, like the rear door windows are different) but have a more modern engine.
