I don't know what this one is, if someone could identify it, that'd be awesome, thanks:

I wanna say it's a Rambler, but I think the taillights are wrong.
 
They have a Rambler inside, I know that. I might have to go over and get better pictures on Sunday...or Monday.
 
Is it a Hillman?
 
No...again, the tail lights don't seem right
 
Borgward Isabella. Around 1964 or 65.

EDIT: Earlier. 1960.
 
Not Chrysler at all. Stop posting. It's an Isabella. Got damit the emblem on the trunk says so, lol.
 
Yer welcome. The car is so familiar to me because Borgward was the only mexican car maker at one point. When the company flipped in the UK, the mexican government, thanks to president Echeverria (I think) who was a car guy, bought the molds and machines and founded Atomóviles Borgward Mexico. They were fabricated in Nuevo León for about three years until the expense ate the company alive.

Today, the Mexico-made cars are very rare even in here; outside they command amazing price tags. There are many differences, but the most striking one is the use of a cast aztec calendar as a horn button.
