Those 504 were the bomb specially the sw version.

Even better would be a 504 pickup.


Interested to ID all those vehicles. I'm pretty shaky on European cars in this era but I think the first photo is an Opel Ascona.

I always thought this was the ultimate team car....

It was the bigger one. The Electra. One size up from a Regal.

Boat. Awesome boat.

Bill sporting a 'stache and clogs. Fashion.....just saying.

Some would say "those were the days" and I'd agree but in the reverse context. Sheesh.

Giving it a try since this is my period and my neck of the woods:

Besides the already mentioned 504s and obvious Volvos...

Ah yes, the Family Truckster.

Digging the clogs..........

Oh this is cool. I also think the Raleigh car is a Ford Cortina. The Yellow BMW at the bottom looks like a BMW 320i but they didn't come out until what 1981?
Anyway great photos, Thanks.

Pretty sure that the 320i was first imported to the US in model year '77, so it would make sense that there were earlier versions (like the sedans in the photo, which were never imported for dealership sales here) available in Europe.
