Thanks for posting, Bob.

The first photo is reminiscent of my 1970 Mazda 1800. I did not understand at the time (bought it used in 1974 for $600 with about 60,000 miles on it), why some asked me if it was a BMW. It had such a smooth ride with the gas filled shocks, a bit unusual at the time. Those who rode with me said it rode almost like being in an airplane, how smooth it handled the open roads in Hawaii. Mine was pure white with 4 speed standard on the floor, my brother's was medium gray (plain not metallic) and automatic. Interestingly, the car had a single SU type carburetor sometimes seen on British cars of the time. Engine was 4 cylinder.

I have not seen the same medium gray as my brother's Mazda 1800 since until recently. The color made a comeback.

The second BMW photo shot at the particular angle it did, is reminiscent of my 1968 Hino Contessa 1300, I owned while in high school. Then, the Japanese heavy truck/bus company also made a water cooled rear engine passenger vehicle, technology licensed from Renault of France. It was somewhat reminiscent of the Renault R10, but with a Japanese flair. Mine was a pretty solid deep Navy blue with tan vinyl interior and rubber floor mats.

It is interesting that just like today, 40+ years ago, the automotive manufacturers in agreement modeled their car designs with in common accents to resemble each others.

I thought you had posted a video of you at a old folks home playing, perhaps it was just a photo or two. If a video can you post it here
