My thanks for the visit and reply
We had a drizzle on the go - so I did not go out to look at the emblem on it. I have been thinking of an early Crosley too, but I am not certain. I wish the rain was visiting someone else so I could go out and get a better look.Norm Dunne

Looks like the car Peter Falk drove in "Columbo"; I think it might be a Peugot (sp)?. I dunno!Rrumbler, Aka: Hey you, "Old School", Hairy, and other unsavory monickers.

I agree - it does look like a bit like Colombo's car. I wish the showers were not around so I could get a better look at the emblem and name.Norm Dunne

I would guess european. By the trim I would say it is newer than a Crosley, and bigger too. Maybe some Muntz model? Looks a little like one, but I don't think it is.Last edited by HOTRODPAINT; 12-22-2009 at 06:26 AM.

I don't think it's Columbo's car ,( 1960 Peugeot ) Here's a website with most cars that
have been in a movie or TV show . http://www.imcdb.org/

It's a "neo-classic" built just a few years ago by Nissan primarily for the home market. It's called a Figaro. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_FigaroLast edited by Bob Parmenter; 12-22-2009 at 07:16 AM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I thought the trim looked too new to be a 50s-60s model. Those door handles and the windshield trim looks like '80s or newer styling.
