Below are four cars that are for sale on AutoHunter and ClassicCars.com. They share something in common, but what is it?
I will admit that two have direct connections, while the other two are more indirect. Post your answer in the comments section below and, if you wish, feel free to identify the year and make of each. You can always click on each image to reveal the make/model/year.

They are all three years apart; ’55 – ’58 – ’61 – ’64 Bonus, they are all red and/or white.
2 door 4 seaters?
55 Chevrolet two-door hardtop and 58 Chevrolet two-door hardtop
61 Ford Thunderbird with a tongue cover to make it a two-seater with two jump seats
64 Volvo 1800s, basically a two-seater with two jump seats
Keep on trying–no one is warm.
The impala is a luxury version of a bel air (direct) and the thunderbird a luxury version of a sports car (indirect)? I’m terrible at this game.
Steering wheels
They are all fist year models.
So how is it related to the car at the top?
(That’s the hint that you’re not even close.)
Wrap around windshield
Front and back windows without post
vestigial fins
They all have 4 wheels 🫤
Come on Diego, let’s have it.
All have a low tail fin design.
Only year made.
Must have a designer connection, maybe all designed by the same people.
No, but you’re getting warmer.
They’re all brilliant bleeding edge designs that I’d kill to own. But I’m stumped, sir. Please don’t leave me hangin’!
Can’t even ID the teaser car, kinda looks like an Alfa or Mercedes but probably not, can’t be that simple. No guess on the common thread for the rest of them. Let us know soon, can’t sleep at night………..!
The FIAT 8V Supersonic at the top influenced the styling of the other cars, especially the side spear.
BINGO!
The side trim of the 1958 Impala and the design of the Volvo can be traced to the Ghia-bodied Fiat. The ’55 Chevy, not so much, but we know GM was influenced by Italian trands of the time and that’s where the wide grille came from. The T-bird’s taillights? Never read anything about the lineage, but they seem to be influenced by turbines too so why not?
Dennis, go back to bed and forget it.
I am!!
The designing of these cars was influenced by the porta Fina designs of the European cars of the time period ??? maybe ?? I know they say the ’55 has a similar style grill as the Ferrari. I’m running out of straws to grasp at !
You’re close.
Space age design ! Rockets & Airplanes, Jet Age…
Jet Age design , Rockets and Space Ships ..
Jet Age influence, ’55 airplane hood ornament, ’58 has jet airplane styling running lights ect.. ’64 has airplane style cockpit and jet exhaust taillights. ’61 looks like an jet rocket.
