[confusis]

I'll give the others a chance on this one This one has one of the more unique hood emblems!

Too easy if it was included, had to exclude.

I'll throw a hint up, assuming I am indeed right: The aforementioned hood ornament wouldn't be allowed to be used today (and with good reason)

Do you want to take the W on this one, and just to move on?

Early 1950s (1951?) Pontiac Chieftain!

Correct, but 1952. Chosen after seeing this custom one done by Dave Kindig.

First hint: the piping on the top right of the pic is part of a boat, not the vehicle in question

Hint 2: Only one generation of this vehicle was made and marked an end to this manufacturer's production of minivans.

I mean it looks like whatever the Tarago is called these days (Estima??) crossed with a Chinese PHEV but I don't recognise that indicator at all!
Or what's the Nissan one? I see it sometimes as a grey-import... Serena or something?

Looking up google images with those models doesn't seem to find that particular vehicle though

 

[SFFMunkee]

Based on the clue I'm guessing it's NOT
- Toyota (e.g. Estima, Tarago)
- Hyundai (e.g. Staria)
- Kia (e.g. Carnival)
- Honda (e.g. Odyssey)
- Ford (e.g. Transit)
- Mercedes Benz (e.g. whatever they call theirs)



....if this is a weird one-off Multipla variant I am going to flip my lid

 

[SFFMunkee]

OOH -- is it maybe a manufacturer that used to actually have a car named after the segment??
i.e. the MPV

But of course THIS one is not the MPV

I'm going to go ahead and assume that I'm right so I don't forget to post

Yup, was the Mazda Biante. One of the more unique styling cues with the headlights and side windows "connected"

[confusis]

Looks French to me. Concept vehicle maybe
