Austin 850 Pickup - 1962

A pick-up truck (technically a coupé utility 

by definition), 11 ft (3.4 m) in total length 

was built on the longer Mini Van platform, 

with an open-top rear cargo area and a 

tailgate. The factory specified the weight of 

the Pick-up as less than 1,500 lb (680 kg) 

with a full 6 imperial gallons (27 l; 7.2 US 

gal) tank of fuel. 

A total of 58,179 Mini Pick-up models were 

built. Brand from Sime Darby Motors. 

Opel Kadett A - 1964

The Kadett was re-introduced in 1962, with 

deliveries beginning on 2 October, a little 

more than 22 years after the original model 

was discontinued in May 1940. The new car 

(designated the Kadett A) was a small family 

car like its predecessor, although it was now 

available in 2-door saloon, 3-door Car-A-Van 

Panhard PL17 - 1961

Panhard is a French manufacturer of light 

tactical and military vehicles. Its current 

incarnation was formed by the acquisition of 

Panhard by Auverland in 2005. Panhard had 

been under Citroën ownership, then PSA 

(after the 1974 Peugeot Citroën merger), for 

40 years. The combined company now uses 

studies indicating that the Panhard name had 

better brand recognition worldwide than the 

Auverland name. Panhard once built civilian 

cars but ceased production of those in 1968. 

Many of its military products however end up 

on the civilian market via third sources and 

as military/government surplus vehicles. 

Panhard also built railbuses between the 

wars. 

Simca Aronde P60 - 1960

Moskvich 407 - 1961

Moskvitch (Russian: Москвич) (sometimes 

also written as Moskvich, Moskvič or 

Moskwitsch) was an automobile brand from 

Russia produced by AZLK from 1945 to 1991 

and by OAO Moskvitch from 1991 to 2002. 

The current article incorporates information 

about both the brand and the joint-stock 

Renault Dauphine - 1965

As Louis Renault's successor, and as Renault's 

chairman, Pierre Lefaucheux continued to 

Production — which had wanted to convert 

Renault solely to truck manufacture.[6] 

Lefaucheux instead saw Renault's survival in 

automobiles and achieved considerable 

success with the 4CV, with over 500,000 

The Dauphine was born during a conversation 

with Lefaucheux and engineer Fernand 

Picard. The two agreed the 4CV was 

appropriate in its postwar context, but that 

French consumers would soon need a car 

appropriate for their increasing standard of 

living 

 

1960-1969

As the 1960s began, American cars showed a rapid rejection of 1950s styling excess, and would remain relatively clean and boxy for the entire decade. 

The horsepower race reached its climax in the late 1960s, with muscle cars sold by most makes. The compact Ford Mustang, launched in 1964, was one 

of the decade's greatest successes. The "Big Three" American automakers enjoyed their highest ever sales and profitability in the 1960s, but the demise 

of Studebaker in 1966 left American Motors Corporation as the last significant independent. The decade would see the car market split into different 

size classes for the first time, and model lineups now included compact and mid-sized cars in addition to full-sized ones. 

The popular modern hatchback, with front-wheel-drive and a two-box configuration, was born in 1965 with the introduction of the Renault 16，many of 

this car's design principles live on in its modern counterparts: a large rear opening incorporating the rear window, foldable rear seats to extend boot 

space. The Mini, released in 1959, had first popularised the front wheel drive two-box configuration, but technically was not a hatchback as it had a 

fold-down bootlid. 

Japanese cars also began to gain acceptance in the Western market, and popular economy models such as the Toyota Corolla, Datsun 510, and the first 

popular Japanese sports car, the Datsun 240Z, were released in the mid- to late-1960s.
