1970s Datsun cars. The first car I remember my parents owning was a 1974 Datsun B210 2 door sedan in Orange with honeycomb hubcaps. Always had a soft spot for the 2 door sedan & hatchback versions as well as the related Datsun 200SX of that era. Looking at them today, it's hard to imagine there were professional race cars made from these fuel efficient tin cans.

That looks like a photoshop job. The front clip is definitely photoshopped.

Here's an example of the 200SX. Hard to believe there was a professional race car from this.

I would say any of the "boxy" Volvo sedans and wagons. Always thought they looked cool.
