Can you help ID this car?

[invisible]

While exploring a vast area south of Riding Mountain National Park on a tip, my buddy and I stumbled upon an abandoned-looking barn that was fenced off. As luck would have it, the owner of the property was farming across the road and gave us the green light to enter and – in his own words – shoot as much as we wanted. Ninety minutes later, exploring the property, I found this car gathering rust and thought it looked cool, illuminated by the light filtering through the trees.


Does anybody know the year, brand and model? There was no info or logos anywhere on the car, other than the words "deluxe" on the side and "automatic" on the back.


Thanks for your help!

Can you give me a close up crop of that grille?

Honda or Toyota. I think it's roughly a 75 honda civic or Toyota Corolla

Here are a close-up of the grille and also a shot from the back.



I also thought it was a Corolla from the 70's, but I'm clueless...

I am pretty sure it's a corolla after seeing the back. Probably about a 77?

If you can get the VIN off of the dash, you can try to decoded at Decode This - Free VIN Decoder.

I won't ever get another chance to get close to this car, unfortunately

I belive it's a Corolla E30(which they made from 74 - 81), The Corolla was also made as a "Deluxe"-model so thats support my thesis.

I can't find an exact match on Google, but I think you might be onto something...

Yeah, I'm virtually certain it's a Corolla from that era as well. I'm not sure of the year, but that back end was pretty distinctive in it's day.

You get to keep the car

If thats '76 plates on the car then its probably the year it was left in the field. So the car has to be between 7 and 10 years older I would guess which makes it 1966-1969.

As soon as the girl identifies the car, we can discuss it

Good point. (Although it could very well be an early-seventies car.)

Thanks all. This has been an elusive one to ID. Not losing hope, though...
