thats it! i couldnt remember the chrysler one. we used to live in a building with 1 person with a white stratus, one person with a white breeze, one white sebring non-vert, and I think there was a cirrus in there as well but grey, or it was another stratus. I bet they got confused alot lol.

What about:

Ford Contour / Mondeo / Jaguar X-Type / Mercury Mystique / Mercury Cougar

Chrysler Crossfire = Merc SLK

Ford Ranger = Mazda B series

EDIT: Dodge Stealth = Mitsubishi 3000gt

What was the mercury clone of the Ford Maverick? I know there was one.

Mercury Comet/Ford Maverick

Mercury Frontenac/Ford Falcon
Fargo/Dodge trucks
Mercury/Ford trucks
Austin7/BMW Dixi/American Bantam/some sort of Nissan

Should be Granada/Monarch/Versailles

This is an Austin Seven

This is an American Austin (a licensed copy)

This is a 1933 Datsun Type 12

It was not licensed, but other than the suicide doors the body looks like an Austin. Early datsuns matched the Austin in wheelbase, track, horsepower, displacement, etc. If I could find a photo of the correct year of Austin sedan, the grills would nearly match, too. (...but I'm feeling too lazy to spend any more time looking.)

Mitsubishi Starion = Chrysler Conquest

Wasn't the Comet = Falcon in the 60s?

Comet = Mercury

Falcon = Ford

Maverick was a different Ford body style.

Dodge Dually and the Rare Sterling Medium Duty Truck

Early 70's Comet was the same car as the Maverick. 60s Comet was the same as the Falcon. Google "1974 Comet" and see.

Same point I was going to make. Seems to me that 1977-2000 or so GM only built like three different cars... ;-)

Don't know if it's been mentioned but the Mitsubishi 3000gt and the Dodge Stealth.
