None now!
But back in the day a few cars....for ford and chrysler and some of the israeli made cars.

Israel stopped being a major producer in the end of the 1970's-1980's

I desided not to open the new topic for exotic cars because the most of links here are still alive and very interesting.

My photo stock of rare vehicles is huge thanks to many Israelis which collect them, keep them running and being visible to the public.
Sad, but many old rare cars stay abandoned for years and every year disappear in dust...
My deep respect to entusiasts who renovate them and bring them back to life.

Yesterday in Shfayim...
Mercury:

now i've seen it... so he's not a jerk

i don't know much about cars, but i saw about 6 months ago in TA's port a red sport car of 'better place'. have you seen or heard of it?

elab · September 12th, 2010, 02:48 PM

Yes. Tesla Electric:

Unfortunately don't have my own photos of this toy...

Yoav · September 12th, 2010, 02:58 PM

is there another sport car? because i'm not 100% sure that this was the one i saw.

elab · September 12th, 2010, 03:32 PM

Don't know. Maybe different view angle...

***Urban Legend*** · September 12th, 2010, 03:35 PM

This Mercure is amazing!

never knew there are Teslas in Israel.

elab · September 12th, 2010, 03:53 PM

Yes. Mercury is great! Silver arrow!

Now another Conti's face (looks "blind" with closed headlamps):

Chevrolet classics parade (relatively much cars in Israel) - unf. only the first picture with original-like wheels:

M-120 · September 12th, 2010, 05:37 PM

Great photos!!!

elab · September 12th, 2010, 05:51 PM

Thanks!

Now EXTREMELY unusual car for Israeli background! (Credits for photos to isra.com & zahav.ru)
Number was published unmasked by owner.

Guess, somebody here will say what is it ...

So, what the name of this beauty?

***Urban Legend*** · September 12th, 2010, 10:20 PM

Moskvich?

Yoav · September 12th, 2010, 10:37 PM

GAZ VOLGA!

elab · September 12th, 2010, 10:53 PM

Yoav, you are right!
It is GAZ-22 Volga with universal body type (GAZ-21 sedan body). In Soviet Union it was usually used as ambulette.

Urban Legend, you were close. Moskvich 402/407 looked similar but this Volga is much bigger.

It is very rare car even in Russia today and we have one here in Israel!
*****
Now Opel Rekord (with "k").
Since 50-s and until late 80-s Opels often looked like americans (Chevrolets & Fords):

elab · September 12th, 2010, 11:20 PM

Again my beloved Lincoln Continental - this time coupe body (also known as Lincoln Mark IV - number unmasked as published by owner):
