Would you have recognized them?

In an article entitled "The new ones from Ford and Opel" at the end of 1974, the ams makers predicted the Ascona B and Escort '75 models quite well. Things got a little more difficult with other brands, of which potential future models were also depicted.
Would you have recognized the four models? They were labeled Porsche 928 (top left), Ford Mini (top right), Peugeot 604 (bottom left) and Mercedes-Benz W 123 (bottom right).
The Porsche, which was given little chance of a future at the time, would probably have been mistaken for a Ford Granada, the Peugeot certainly not for a luxurious six-cylinder hatchback, but rather for a small 104 variant. The Ford Mini, however, can be found in the later Ford Fiesta and the Mercedes-Benz was certainly recognizable as such.
The whole article can of course be found in the Zwischengas magazine archive.
