Dark blue muscle coupe

A dark blue car head-on in low, hazy light, in shade against a bright background: a full-width slatted grille with a round lamp set into each end, a mottled bonnet, and a man in dark glasses at the wheel.

The car faces the camera from the shade, with brightly lit trees and a bright stretch of road behind it, so the light comes from beyond it. That flattens the colour but hides very little. The paint is a dark, faded blue, pulled towards grey by the warm light, and the bonnet is mottled with paler and darker patches. Across the front runs a full-width grille of fine horizontal slats, with a round badge at its centre.

A single round headlight sits near each end of the grille in a square grey bezel with rounded corners. The lamps are set into the grille rather than beside it: the slats carry on past each one to the ends of the grille. Below runs a chrome bumper, speckled along its top edge, and under that a pale face with a slim rectangular lamp at each end, dark with an orange-red outer segment. The bonnet is broad and flat, and two wiper arms lie along the foot of the windscreen.

Behind the glass sits a man with long dark hair, round dark sunglasses and stubble, in a sleeveless dark top, with one hand at the top of a thin steering wheel with a pale rim. A rear-view mirror hangs at the top of the screen, and through the car a wooden fence shows beyond the rear window. Beyond the right-hand windscreen pillar stands the front corner of a white vehicle with a framed windscreen.

That front, one round lamp in a square bezel near each end of a full-width grille, places the body around the early seventies, which is as far as a nose shot goes. The badge holds a ring with a short upright stroke inside it, too small to read as a letter; the caption and the lettering table below hold what was measured. The tan squarebody pickup and the cream SUV stand in the same frame, each on a page of its own.

How to recognise it

• Full-width grille in fine horizontal slats with a round centre badge
• A single round headlight near each end in a square grey bezel, set into the grille
• Chrome bumper over a pale face with a slim rectangular lamp at each end
• Broad flat bonnet with mottled, faded paint
• Dark blue, dulled by the low warm light

The frame it comes from

The frame is Extended Look at 11:36.00. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 1036 by 777 of it. Also in it: a tan squarebody pickup, a cream SUV, a light pickup with a yellow side stripe, and an armed woman in a red bandana.

How this was measured

These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work

What we still do not know

• The exact colour: the warm low light pulls the faded blue towards grey
• The body behind the windscreen, including how many doors it has. This is a nose shot, so ‘coupe’ in the page name is a working description
• The name, and the manufacturer; the badge holds a short upright stroke that does not read
• Everything measured: top speed, acceleration, handling, price, where it spawns
