Fastback Friday – 1991 Eagle Talon
/
/
comments
Moving smoothly within the Chrysler Corporation scope, today’s street submission is a 1991 Eagle Talon. Eagle-eyed commenters pointed out yesterday, that the LH Chrysler 300M was essentially an Eagle until 12 months before its hatching, and development photos uncovered showed the triangular Eagle emblem mounted on the front grille. This Diamond Star car is in…

The Full-Bodied Automobile – 1999 Chrysler 300M
/
/
comments
Even if this Chrysler 300M sighting is from the newer spectrum of posted cars, being a 1999 model, it’s still a car I happily feature here. It’s always nice to see a bold-looking American car here in the Finnish street scene, and whether said car is a cab forward design front-wheel-drive barge, it makes little…

V.I.S.I.T – Alfa Romeo GT Coupé 2.0 JTS
/
/
comments
This grey little coupé is a 2005 Alfa Romeo GT, which I see around town every now and then. It’s based on the same platform as the 147 and 156, but at 166 horsepower, its 2.0-litre JTS (Jet Thrust Stoichiometric, for direct injection) naturally aspirated four is a bit beefier than the similar unit found…

Fastback Friday – 1997 Citroën XM Berline
/
/
comments
I’ve been pretty open about my love for all things classic Citroën. With the numerous BX and Xantia posts, it’s been clear to see there’s something about the folded paper spaceship designs that really gets to me. It’s easy, then, to predict that whenever a hydropneumatic Citroën appears on my sights, I get out my…

Winter Weekend Edition – Alfa Romeo 75
/
/
comments
The last post on the Winter Weekend theme is a re-visit: this Alfa Romeo 75 was posted some time ago earlier, accompanied by a worn Opel Omega back then. Now, the Omega is gone, but the Alfa remains unmoved. The Italian is left sitting on the same stretch of road as the earlier cars today,…

Winter Weekend Edition – 1995 Audi A4
/
/
comments
Next to the 405, I photographed this 1995 Audi A4. It’s probably a project/parts car too, and it seems to have had a rough life so far. I don’t think the snowplow has treated it too kindly, either. Audis like this are still in decent demand, so it’s likely it’s a high-mileage car that’s suffered…

Winter Weekend Edition – 1993 Peugeot 405
/
/
comments
The weekend continues with abandoned cars surrounded by snow. The cars posted yesterday were in reasonable shape at the very least, but the ones coming in today are either project cars or complete wrecks. I’m starting with this 1993-model Peugeot 405 GLX, which stands out nicely from amidst all the snow with the still-lustrous red…

Winter Weekend Edition – 1987 Ford Fiesta C
/
/
comments
This 1987 Ford Fiesta is a true entry-level car. The “C” notation meant it pretty much had steerable front wheels and nothing else; even if the 1.1-litre pushrod Valencia four wasn’t the smallest engine on offer. It’s been pretty much abandoned next to a gas station just a stone’s throw from the Prelude. At first,…

Winter Weekend Edition – 1984 Honda Prelude EX
/
/
comments
These weekend posts have one thing common: old cars surrounded by snow. This time I need to be honest: I haven’t seen this 1984 Prelude move an inch in summertime, either. It’s probably rotten to the core, and it spends its days on the corner of a warehouse. Year after year, a ton of snow…

Winter Weekend Edition – 1988 Nissan Laurel 2.4E
/

comments
This weekend, I’ll be posting some cars left on their own devices. Some of them abandoned, some of them just positioned where snow has overpowered them: at the very least, it will take a while before they’ll return to the streets. The first one was shot last weekend at the ice track. It’s a 1988…
