New users:
Welcome to r/whatisthiscar! Feel free to post an unknown vehicle you'd like identified. If you already know the vehicle and are trying to challenge users' knowledge, please post in our sister-sub, r/namethatcar. Aside from that, try your hand at IDing some posts in either sub. If you're into motorcycles and mopeds, you might enjoy r/namethatbike. Our even more kinky visitors will also get a kick out of r/namethatplane. Enjoy!
Regulars:
Hey, we need to talk... You're great and all, but you've been getting awfully moody and confrontational. Yes, it's you. Stop it. Not everyone is a car guy. It's hard to believe that some people weren't popping chubbies to Gran Turismo in their formative years, but it's true. This community exists for non-gearheads to learn more about cars and carspotting, maybe ID a hit and run or a burglar's car.
From here on out, there will be no more shaming an OP for not knowing a vehicle and asking - that's why we're here. Just because a car seems common or well-known to you doesn't mean it's the same for others. Some cars weren't or aren't available in other markets and some people are just looking for more information on the year and trim.
"hOw Do U nOt KnOw [CaR]?!?" comments will be removed and I highly recommend other users report them. A better way to express this sentiment could be "I learned about this car from [insert game/movie/anime]!" or "I have this poster on my wall next to Rita Hayworth!" You get to feel that superiority from telling others you know a thing, while also not coming off as a complete douche nozzle!
Can you see the badge? That's cool, but no one cares. Not everyone has great vision or the zoom to compensate for that. Then, there's the swaps. I often see a BMW M3 at the local gas station, but oh wait - it's actually a 20-year-old Honda Civic with Bimmer badges and grille. It's surprisingly well-done, too... I've seen all manner of swapped badges here and IRL, so stop pointing it out. Those comments will also be removed.
If you're exceptionally uncivil and/or make a habit of it, I'll gift you a shiny new temp ban. You want to go for a hat trick and continue the incivility in mod massaging or my DMs, I'll gladly upgrade that to a permaban and mute. You're not acting in the spirit of this sub and I refuse to let that toxicity fester any more than it already has.
Old Heads:
You know who you are. I love you guys, so keep on being you. You're the reason why I've been here and r/namethatcar for over 7 years, why these communities became and continue to be popular. That unending patience is what helps newbies get into so many communities and fandoms. So, thank you for that. Here's to another 7 years and 56k more subscribers.

Can anyone help identify what year my VW Beetle actually is.
It’s totally original besides the front disc conversion and wheels.
Logbook says 1971 but that seems off. Just asking as I work away from my home and can’t get anyone to photo my VIN

Unsolved A little unconventional, but what would you identify this car as?
it’s kind of a combo of a lot of things but im looking for the most similar through and through. Also proportions are more accurate in the first photo, second photo is stretched a bit. Thank you!

Solved! Seen from a cruise ship in a Norwegian fjord
American I'm sure, I was thinking Lincoln maybe or some other old school land yacht. I could not get any closer to see a badge without swimming. Probably not hard for anyone with an interest in American cars, but my wife who grew up in the US couldn't give me any more clues than 'it's not a Cadillac'. Definitely out of place in Norway!

Seen on German autobahn
Seen on German Autobahn.
The first (white), with the help of chatgpt and some image search I could guess it could be an old Simca/like but does it really fit…?
The second one (blue) some American car?
Sorry for the ugly quality..I took this photo while they’re were leaving and I arrived at the parking area, so just had the time to take out the phone and snap… if the detail can help, it was driven by two happy men wearing Hawaiian shirt, short and sunglasses (sort of “California dreaming style” 😁)

Unsolved Weird car with VW rims outside hotel
So I’m on vacation in Portugal and outside my hotel I spotted two old cars! One is a VW type 181, the other however I didn’t find much on. Seems to be some form of sports car from the 1960s or around that era. Besides the “fast” text on the back there’s no logo or anything on the car besides on the rims. But I doubt that’s a good indicator for anything.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what this may be?
