Subject: Help with cars

Written By: Ryan112390 on 09/10/12 at 5:14 pm

Hey, can anyone identify the makes/models/model years of any of the cars in these photos? I'm asking so that I can narrow down when these pix were taken...I know they are definitely sometime between 1994-1996 but if I could get a closer range it'd be great:

I had to do a little detective work (lol), but the dark blue Ford Explorer in the top photo is the key. Ford redesigned the Explorer for the 1995 model year and they brought out the new model in November 1994, but it's obviously summer since everyone is wearing shorts (plus I'm assuming that all these pics were taken in New York, because of the license plate in the bottom photo), so I can safely say that these pictures were taken in 1995 or later.

Hope that helps.  ;)

Thank you with regard to the first one =) But what of the rest? The pix were all taken at different dates and possibly different years.

The first pic has a Dodge Caravan redesigned for the 1996 model year, so I'd estimate it to be from the summer of 1996. I also haven't seen a Ryder truck with a pale yellow shade in awhile. The second to last photo looks the oldest and taken in the fall (sometime in the early '90s based on the cars)

The jeep xj(cherekee) could be a 94. That bodystyle ran i to the early 00s. Think pink picture has a saturn in it that is of 96-98  because 95/6 is the years when cars went from blocky to round. Its parked in front of a Chrysler k-car. Which is probably a dodge dynasty. The caravan is parked next to either a red cavilier or sun bird. That bodystyle exploder ran to 98. Which is probably the year of that gold buick park avenue next to the late 90s silver pontiac grand prix or am. The white car by the 80-91 econoline conversion is probably a pre 91 new yorker or plymouth fury.k car.
By the school bus is a black 93-97 civic. Across fro the jeep is a mopar 87-90 k-car van. Behing the xj and jeep cj in the same pic is a pre98 grand marquis i that jade green they came in...or looms like one anyway. The school bus is a 78-91 econoline. 93 is when they changed bodystyle that the ryder van has accross from it.

No thats the 1996-1998 Civic Coupe in the 2nd picture before the refresh in 99 and that model ran from 1996-2000. The Grand Am was 1992-1994 before the 1995 refresh and that model ran from 1992-1998 so yeah the model ran in the late 90's but was around in the earilier part of the decade too. No Cherokee was redesigned in 1999. That Cherokee in the pic was a late 80's/early 90's model I think. That photo with the Cherookee looks like it was from the late 80's/early 90's because of the Olds Cutlass Supreme and the ill-fated Cadillac Cimmaron in it. The last picture has to be at least from 1993 because of the white Mitsubishi Galant in the picture. That Galant ran from 1994-1998.
