Could definitely use a clue, and that ones not helping.

Got some close silouettes with Simca and Renault, but no gas.

Just when I thought I would have to give up on this, I nail it!!!!!!!!!!!!

See, I was onto something..............
It followed the five-door hatchback pattern of the French-produced Renault 16
What we have here is a 1972 Austin Maxi 1750 HL.

The car also sold in Denmark as a Morris 1800, which was colloquially known as the "landcrab".

A beloved car from a company that may not survive 2011, its the Saab 96 produced from 1960-1980 with either an 841cc 2-stroke inline 3, or a 1498-1700cc 4-stroke Ford V-4 engine. Had a chance to drive a 2-stroke 96 a few years back, what a nice machine and certain to produce plenty of smiles per mile.

Hint....with a model name that sounds like a Bingo call, this car would be great for a cruise down the Autostrada.

OK, I'll bite.
The car 'looks' French, but in fact it's Italian.
It's a Lancia Aurelia Florida by Pininfarina- 1955
Haven't seen too many 4-door hardtops with rear-opening doors. I can only think on one other right now. Happens to be featured in a Bridgestone commercial......
