It's a screen capture from "License to Drive", c1988

 

http://www.imcdb.org/movie_95519-License-to-Drive.html

 

I had to Google Image it.  They key I noticed was both the Datsun and Toyota were parked in a "No Parking" zone, and the Jag was double parked.  Seemed like a setup.  The character's car (it's the setup for the parallel parking scene) is the Escort, the DMV test car.

 

huh.....never heard of the movie but the IMCDB link makes it look like decent car porn. may have to see if amazon has it for cheap on DVD.

Just watched The Karate Kid on Netflix.

 

1. I can now do karates.

2. Lots of Datsuns.

 

I sat in on most of my daughter's Taekwondo classes, so that means I am a second degree balck belt like her? Cool! Not to mention all the old school Chinese Kung fu flicks I watched and "Kung Fu" (David Carradine) shows I watched. So I am  Shaolin KungFu master! :thumbup:

Perusing old pics of my hometown, Key West, I came across this picture from 1973 taken at the old main gate of NAS Key West Truman Annex.

I spent a few weeks working down in Key West.  I was on a ship moored at the Truman Annex.  Very cool spot and we even had our own private beach...  Spent a few nights at the Parrot.

That is 100% a 510 wagon. Bumper is correct. The rear door doesn't bend upwards to meet the rear cargo window. And the 1/4 window on the rear door just screams 510, and not 610.

this is why i thought it was the rear bumper is un mistakeable and the leading edge of the hood tipped me off....

saw this '71 1600 at my buddy's today. the last owner had owned it since the 1970s. the spare bed + the parts in the spare bed came with it. the fenders and hood from the blue truck are in the bed of the green truck as are a host of other spare parts for the truck. are 1200 and 1600 load ratings like 1/2 and 3/4 for domestic trucks?

a.d._510_n_ok asked> are 1200 and 1600 load ratings like 1/2 and 3/4 for domestic trucks?

 

Import load ratings are for real. For domestic trucks "1/2 ton" is a series designator, not the actual load capacity.

 

The USA 521 had a 1000 lb load capacity. The 620 was available in three different capacities.

 

1600 and 1200 badges are the size of the engine.

My friends truck got fitted with 1 ton springs. The guy he bought it from was intending to put an RV on it, and then tow a boat. He then learned the engine may not have the cahonies to pull a boat out of water with an RV on its back.
