Other Random Car Sightings [Photo Required]

 
That's a camaro, mate. Also, I think the wagon is an Eagle, which is an AWD wagon from the 80s.
 
Shopping cart in front of a local market. Not an every day sight in small town like this (little over 8000 people).

I'm new here and maybe you guys can help me.
Anyone know what car is this?
I'm a petrolhead and can name any car I see on the road (as long as it didn't came from a small company that went bankrupt) but I can't for the life of me, find out what car this is. This picture has been haunting me since 3 years and I finally gave up the search.
It has a sort of Aston Martin DB2-esque style but the rear doesn't match.

Thanks a lot. It's finally gone off my mind now. No wonder I can't find anything about this car. They only made 53 units of the 404 model (according to Wiki) and Bristol was the last car manufacturer I had in mind when searching for this car. That's why I never found it.

+rep for you.

One man's rubbish is another man's treasure I quess.....I know a guy who has an old Wartburg van-thing with an engine that runs on petroleum (I don't get it either) and more rustholes in it then the thing has bolts.
How the helll did that ever end up in Western Europe? And for God's sake why? What I do know is that he woulden't part with it for the world.

An old boss of mine was from Serbia but living here. His parents were still in Serbia and when they'd come over to the US for a visit they'd return to Serbia with an American car that they'd sell or keep for themselves if they felt like.

Apparently it was cheaper than buying a new car there, and this was before the dollar was as weak as it is today.
