From time to time I gather enough material for one of these, so here's the latest installment.
Actually, you're right. It was a Favorit, not a Felicia. I trusted my judgement and screwed up.The Skoda was a Favorit here until the facelift came out and then called a Felicia...
As you can see in the video, those little" turds" are still out and about.Meanwhile, I learned to drive in a turd brown 1978 corolla - so many of those mid-late 70s japanese compact cars look alike, esp with the little round sealed beam headlights and small steel wheels.
I'm not 100% sure but I think it's one of the Carlos Sainz replicas that Toyota issued after he won the 1992 WRC.i liked that celica with the WRC paint scheme.
@kamkar1 already identify it: it's an Excalibur Phaeton.the car you couldn't ID looked like some form of kit car based off a small 1980s american sedan, simply based on the shape of the windows. i've seen a few of those here as well - they look (and sound) really weird.

See, I didn't even know that the 70's Corollas had a 1.6 L version, let alone that they had automatic transmissions and A/C.Our 78 Corolla 4dr sedan still had the original engine and automatic transmission, with something like 230,000 miles on it and ran fine when we sold it in the mid 90s for $500. Only thing that didn't work was the AC, but the blower and heater were ok, plus it cooled down fairly quick with the windows down. Good little city car, never had any real trouble with it that I can remember. The only turd part was the original brown paint.
The AC in ours was aftermarket - a little control box screwed into the bottom of the dash, with a snow flake on the knob. And the 1.6 was North American market only, according to Wikipedia.See, I didn't even know that the 70's Corollas had a 1.6 L version, let alone that they had automatic transmissions and A/C.
I thought that was the case for the 1.6 (NA only) but wasn't sure. Our 1966 VW Squareback (the car I learned to drive with, during the HOT SUMMER of '72) also had aftermarket AC under the dash. That car with the AC on, me behind the wheel and stopped on a hill: BADDDDD combination!The AC in ours was aftermarket - a little control box screwed into the bottom of the dash, with a snow flake on the knob.
