Old Jag …

Do you remember when the back corner of every pub car park looked like that?

If my eyes do not deceive me, that's a Daimler.

Correct, it's the flutes.

[uk66fastback]

Yes, someone corrected it at the time …

An old Merc in Istanbul.



Wasn't able to check out any badging on the rear unfortunately.

[clive_candy]

Unidentifiable I suspect, a field find this time in Gallipoli.





Ready to be proved wrong!

You'd be taking a risk sticking one up your arse and going for a drive in an Anadol, that's strong stuff.

[Gompo]

Can somebody help me identify this one please?

[hidetheelephants]

The rear lights are quite Cadillac-y, but confirmation/which model/year needs more info.

[STO]

Possibly a Cadillac Eldorado , https://www.hagerty.com/media/market-trends/hagert... going by the ridge along the bonnet and rear light also the near vertical rear window.

Looks like the rear light is partly missing.

Possibly a Lincoln going off the smooth front and angle of rear side window.

The rear deck is wrong for those. Plus the flute line along to top of the wing fender.

Yes, that's the bit I was using for ID. I'd briefly considered the Cadillac Fleetwood and Lincoln Continental Town car around the 1977 year; but nothing seemed right. Thought I'd throw it out to you lot.

[hidetheelephants]

Doesn't look big enough for a fullsize Fleetwood, it would be a Sedan De Ville if it is a Cadillac.

It's a 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham:

Yes, pretty conclusive nerding - excellent.

[Doofus]

The 'rotting' picture appears to have chrome strip on the top edgeof the wing and, to me, the trunk lid doesn't have the tumblehome of the Fleetwood. Plus the mystery's rear lights aren't that far behind end of the trunk
