Surely you'll remember our recent Halloween picture. It was a much reworked photo that we took from the book Bijzondere Autokerkhoven which shows the beauty of some of the few remaining junkyards in Europe. The original photo was taken by photographer Till Jauernig at Båstnås in Sweden. He took lots of photos there. Some of them didn't make it to the book, but they too show the true rustic atmosphere there. However, the one above (click main pic) is a puzzle. From the remaining wreck it's hard to tell if it's a Plymouth, Dodge or Chrysler Valiant. Do you know? Tell us!

editor:
( UPDATE: we were corrected by Dutch car historians Frans Vrijaldenhoven and Eduard Hattuma: the Dodge Lancer was indeed on the market in Holland. We never knew....) 

Earlier:....interesting to note that Timo Laitinen identifies the car as a 1961 Dodge Lancer. To our knowledge the car was never marketed under that name in Europe, where the car was found.  Possibly in Finland it wa? In Holland the car was known as Plymouth Valiant. Maybe we get entangled in a marketing namegiving web?
