Our “Rewind” series is making its first trip to the United States. We’re going back to the parking lot of a Safeway grocery store on the corner of Chestnut and Taylor in San Francisco, California, in 1982.
What car(s) can you identify in the following picture? What one would you most like to have in your garage?
We’d personally go with the white 5-Series on the left side of the photo, though we’d also be tempted by the Volkswagen Squareback parked a little further back.

i will take all the VW’s and the datsun 510. what is the car behind the person in the parking lot. thanks
I’d take the Datsun 510, followed by the white BMW. The car behind the person in the parking lot looks to me like a VW notchback.
My guess is a Volvo P1800. I love all the German cars! Wow, who would’ve thought.
I was surprised, too. Kind of looks like Germany.
