The Clue is back. I should have done it for the LeMans, but I’ve been re-posting these old CC re-runs a bit impulsively and suddenly. And we’re not going to clue the 1971 small car comparison, because some will know how that comes out. Or we could do it on the honor system?
But I will definitely Clue all new Curbside Classics. I haven’t actually started writing this one yet, so that will give you a couple of days to ponder. Things are happening quickly here at CC, folks are beginning to find us, and there’s much to do, but I’m having a ball!
BTW, nobody got the Fairmont. Score: Paul 1; You 0. That won’t last.
Update: That was ridiculously obscure. We’ll try this for a while, and see whether any of our hardcore sleuths have found us yet. Otherwise, we’ll keep making it easier.
I can’t do any better than the year. I’m going to say… pre-1965. (Ohhhhhhhhh I know, bold right?)
Rust? In Eugene? This thing must be ancient!
I don’t think it’s rust… I suspect it’s the ubiquitous Eugene algae that forms on the shady side of any stationary object.
I’ll be somewhat bolder that educatordan and say 1959 to 62. But can’t get beyond that yet… no make… no model.
Rust or not,it’s a 1960 Pontiac.
Ah… now that the photo shows more, you can see it is rust as well as green-brown algae. And i do believe you’re right… it’s the trim to the left of the right tailight.
I’m inclined to think I Miss Manzy has nailed it…

Certainly looks like it.
Yup, its a 1960 Poncho all right…. Heres a view of the right side rear.

Yes, a 1960 Pontiac. It could be any series or body style, except for a wagon. The Catalina, Ventura, Star Chief and Bonneville all had that trim strip, according to the 1960 Pontiac brochure.
