Yep that's a Talbot. In France Chrysler, Talbot (and Simca at the end of the 70s) were the same brand. This car was sold here as Talbot Horizon. I think in the UK it was the same, then Talbot was bought by Peugeot, Simca dissapeared and Chrysler stand alone.

that was the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, which was a different car altogether (rear wheel drive), but looked similar to the FWD  Horizon

That SC Rambler is gorgeous.. I would LOVE to have one of those... talk about an amazing power/weight ratio.  But the Omni..  Roll Eyes

Unless it was a GLHS Omni,... which, when you consider that it came out in '86, when smog crap was at it worst... it was a pretty impressive car... 175 HP in a car that small... 14.7 second quarter mile... again, not bad considering it was the mid 80's.

But then... I'm a guy who drives a Miata and has a '71 Dodge Dart Swinger in the garage.

The Rambler is a Hurst SC. Proper '69 muscle with Ram Air. Ugly but 1512 made, so if you got one now it's pretty rare. And cooler than any Mopar!

After high school a friend of mine bought one of those Citations for a $1.00 He drove the wheels off of it for 4 years and did little more than put gas in it and change the oil (he didn't really change it, he just kept adding). When it finally died he thought the $1.00 he paid for it was still too much! What a piece of crap.
