I saw this picture on my friends facebook page and I thought it was worth sharing with everyone. It’s an amazing shot taken I’m guessing in the early 70s when they were still constructing the Kuwait Towers. Can anyone tell me what car that is?
Thanks Farah!
Update: Turns out its a 1977 Nissan Skyline. Beautiful car.
Update2: Turns out the photo was originally taken from KuwaitStar on [Flickr]

toyota supra 1979
wait, sorry not cressida, another toyota was popular. not sure what its called.
I think it’s a Lancia (i know thats weird being this is Kuwait).
I think the front just reminded me of the Delta

It also reminds me of the GTO
Defo a Lancia Delta, maybe there HF Integrale, father of all modern rally cars!!
I think GT skyline they call it dutson in the old days however a very nice pic
Great pic am sure who take it is a real photographer , about the car its Nissan Skyline 77 am sure of that cuz my brother own one
Kuwait Towers used to be the shizz, i wonder why they havent maintained it. Would be awesome to have a zuma there.
the q8 towers construction was initiated in 1975…..fa its mid 70s not early 70s.
the car is not cressida im sure, can be a skyline.
It’s the 1977 Nissan Skyline.

its either a dodge charger o a challenger
sexyback. Literally.
Claddic.
ss=dd ? :/
am sorry
It’s actually a Datsun not a Nissan. You can even barely make out the “Dats…” on the grille.
المشكلة انه ال 77 صار سعرها هالوقت أغل] من سعرها على أيامها من عبقرية بعض الناس حديثي التوظيف
ثانكيو مااان
What a nice shot! pure

C10 Skyline GT
Not a 1977! this was produced from 1968 to 1972
Aslo called “HakoSuka”!

Thats a Datsun.. They were pretty common in Kuwiat in the 70’s
The initial blueprints of the tower included a disco BTW.

The lettering on the grille looks like the start of the word “Chevrolet” and it reminds me of the ’70’s Chevrolet Firenza.
omg thats such a cool pic! im loving the car.
it is not a 1977 cuz the kuwait tower was open in 1973
Nice pic
