Today’s CC Clue introduces a new element; no , its not the snow and ice. We do see that here every couple of years. This CC was sent in by a reader (do you want to guess his identity too? His first name starts with a D). We’ll unveil his find (and his name) tomorrow. Good luck with this one!

Hmmm…. mid-1960’s Tbird…
1962 Chevrolet “Bubble Top” Bel Air
I’ll say Chevy II / first Nova.
1961 Impala.
I’ll second the 61 Impala.
’66 Nova.
Had a neighbor with a Chevy II/Nova … my first impression as well … and I’m going to go with it…
BTW, I don’t think T-bird is likely to have come with a stamped aluminium grille.
60s Chevy Van.
’67 Chevrolet (full size, BelAir, Impala, Caprice)
You beat me to it with the Caprice, though I think it might be a ’65.
This is maddening. My gut says mid ’60s Chevy of some sort, especially ’64 Chevelle, but the grill isn’t wide enough in the vertical.
It’s not a full size Chevy, either. Conceivably a Chevy II or Camaro of similar vintage.
It’s maddening because it’s a wagon variant. I have a hunch David Holzman found a 1964 Chevelle 3-door. Still, just a guess.
60’s Ford F-Series stake truck. Either that, or Pontiac’s 70’s era regadged Nova, whatever name that was.
I agree with 64 Chevy Nova
The wagon shouldn’t be different from this angle from the sedan version on any ’60s Chevelle, or most of these Chevies. This is driving me nuts.
1961 El Camino. Why not?
It’s not a mid-’60s t’bird. Those cars were raptors. This is absolutely not a raptor.
International Travel-all or other International pick-up type vehicle.
Yes, International Harvester is a very good guess as well. An International truck, flatbed.
I’ll guess “Dennis”.
I’ve done a bit of googling and have come up dry. It looks like a mid-60s Chevy II but the insignia and grille pattern don’t quite match. The thrust-forward look and grille pattern also suggest a Ford (e.g., a 1964 Fairlane), but again the insignia doesn’t seem to fit. Same goes for the F-100s. Also looked at Comets, Travelalls and big Chevys and Fords.
I wonder if this car/truck wasn’t produced in the US.
Ford Taunus, Opel Rekord? This was not easy!
I’m piling on the Chevy II/Nova bandwagon.
I went through the same analysis as Dr Lemming and came to the same conclusion. I think I’ve narrower the era down to 1963-65 but just can’t find the match. Judging by the bumper gap I thought it might be a pick-up but no match there, that I could find. Now I’m thinking maybe Eastern Bloc… maybe a Lada or Volga or Moskvich?
70 Nova?
Full size Chevy pickup from the mid 60’s-I think Chevy called it the 10 model. (upgraded trim accounts for the shiny grill and chrome bumper)
I am going to have to chime in here and say this is a 1968 Ford Galaxy or Custom as my first guess.
Montpelier?
Trabant?
