Well, since Larry started the whole bonus points thing, extra bonus points for anyone who can identify this (highly uncommon) car.

Nice to ride, and nice to see you posting again, 02Pilot.
Thanks. I've been on a bit of a hiatus from photography. Just dipping a toe back in the water....

Stumped. Guessing Japanese, 2000’s time frame. Looks like a Mitsubishi 3000GT of some sort, but not one I have seen. Nissan something. Lots of distinct styling cues, (too many, which is why it looks Japanese) but I give up. For now.

It's a Ferrari 348 US model.
I used to live round the corner from the main London Ferrari dealership so it's not that uncommon to me!

What a lovely 02! Many moons ago I owned a 2002 tii which the last owner had modified extensively (and badly). Lovely little thing to drive though!

The Testarossa side strakes should have given it away, I just couldn’t match them up with a lesser variant.
Nice job.

I considered the possibility it might be a Testarossa body kit on a Pontiac Fiero, but it lacks the long front and rear overhangs that usually give away the rebody's heritage.

Wow, we have a winner!
To be more specific, it's a 1993 Ferrari 348TB Serie Speciale. Only 100 were made for the US market, and apparently only 35 were the TB coupe model. The other 65 were TS targa styles. I saw the car in a local hotel parking lot, and didn't know its rarity until I went home and did a little research. Probably the rarest car I'll ever photograph, at least out in the wild, so to speak. There are some other color styling cues, but I only had black and white film loaded. This one was Ferrari's distinctive rosso corsa red.

A good one Doubalister! (I would say that). Here's another for the assembled car nuts to have a crack at.

Well, this is fun, let's keep playing. I actually have no idea what this one is, so perhaps the assembled car nuts can give me a hand.

Definitely a Plymouth. Beyond that I had to rely on a bit of googling and it looks like a Plymouth Belvedere from the 50s.
Sneaky using the rear end - very few photos out there!

1956 Plymouth. I had a 55 hardtop for a few years, very similar but lower fins.Well, this is fun, let's keep playing. I actually have no idea what this one is, so perhaps the assembled car nuts can give me a hand.

Thanks, Charles and Doug!
I couldn't tell if it was a 1956 Belvedere, Savoy, or Plaza. I think this one must have had some body work done, because all the photos I've seen have the gas cap on the body panel of the right tail fin. That threw me for a loop.

Yes - the clue is in the plate mention of Rod and the swirls on the paintwork - definitely bodywork has been done.

OK, another rear end. Ought to be straightforward for our Transpondine members
