One of a handful of 405 cars thought to be still in use in the photo U S Jay Ramey.
Perhaps some of our readers will remember very last cars of Peugeot sold in North America before the automaker has called it quits in 1991, and this happens to be one of them While Peugeot 405 sedan has been available since 1989 and has experienced some modest popularity can be restricted on both coasts, equivalent car was not so easy to find the disappearance of aging 505 flown struggling Peugeot dealers of their harvest bumpers, and the smallest 405 never managed to find the same audience less than one thousand have been imported for two model years, and only a dozen are considered in working in this country this is the second we saw, besides the examples we have seen a vast menagerie of Swedish, German and french machinery it a few months ago in an undisclosed This place is probably the only car 405 we will see in coming years.
A rare Nissan which is hard to find in almost all conditions now one had him quality time warp Photo by Jay Ramey.
Here Sá rare bird, one of the soloists of the culture Japanese automotive Carlisle Nissan 200SX was sold as the Nissan Gazelle in its home market, but the car is now hard to find both sides of the Pacific Originally designed to have a rotary engine, the 200SX ended up going into production with a classic Z-series engine, which in the north American appearance meant a line 2 0 liter four rare car by definition, this example blue light was tidy throughout and had a discreet presence of foreign cars once common in sober colors is what Carlisle Nationals import is all about, and what 200SX hit the sweet spot when it came to Japanese cars.
One of the best surprises this year that Renault 4 TL Photo Jay Ramey.
If you thought the Citro n 2CV was as basic as the French transport has, then you probably have never seen a Renault 4 TL, also known as the Renault 4 Ever sold in North America, Quatrelle, as it was called was Renault's response to the 2CV These managed to be even more prolific than the 2CV, remaining in production from 1961 to 1992 in more than a dozen places in the world This particular example, appearing out of a fresh restoration, from theoretically purely theoretical 1987 benefits from all the improvements over the years, propelled by engines of smaller displacement ranging from 0 to 7 liters to 1 0 liters, the Renault 4 was known for his gear lever mounted on the dashboard.
Thousands of these are still running through Africa and South America - especially South America - and you might remember having seen one of those in the film Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner 1984 Romancing the Stone, where a Renault 4 is driven by the character of Danny DeVito a rare sight in America, this is the first Renault 4 to make an appearance at Carlisle decade.
Vintage Saabs are always nice to see Carlisle Photo by Jay Ramey.
Since the quota Saab once again outnumbered all other cars Marked by a considerable margin, it would be only fair to highlight one of our favorites this 1967 Saab 96 sedan It is difficult to find an example no rust problems and panel fit, but was one of the best examples of this model we saw in the years the owner of this car gets bonus points for the lead in Carlisle all the way from New Jersey.
Steve Sears has provided DKW down Ontario again this year Photo by Jay Ramey.
Yes, the name sounds like a sandwich, but DKW Junior DeLuxe was a three sedan-cylinder two-time popular in the 1960s, with the car debuted in 1961. This 1962 model was brought back from Canada by the owner Steve Sears No, not under its own power, which would be somewhat club DKW holds its annual meets in Carlisle, and a handful of cars are there generally fond This junior DeLuxe was Carlisle several times, and this remarkably well preserved us overhear people constantly state say it looks like an American car of the 1950s that has been shrunk in the dryer, and fans would probably agree DKW No trophies are given to Nationals in Carlisle import cuteness, but it would be a serious competitor.
It s Carlisle imports this year, we'll be back next year, as always.
