Although the perception of beauty can vary not only with time but also with the mood a person is in, I do
feel like you're on to something here.

I always quote this model to indicate how wrong modern designers have gone with the height of waistline in comparison to the size of the glass house. (and yes, I am going to be flamed again by the safety addicts who will talk about lateral impact...)

I have to agree with you there henk. The worst of the current absurdities has to be the Hummer H2, including those tiny side windows that look like a 'pillbox' gunslit from the shores of Normandy circa WW2 :rolleyes:

When seated in most of the modern cars I've driven, everything ahead of the dashboard is invisible and you can't even see the bonnet, let alone sight where the front of the car ends. It's a major disappointment, compared to the older, more rationally designed & user-friendly cars. Likewise the view out the back of these gloopily-styled late-models is nothing more than a joke, and in between are those thick blocky pillars and absurdly high belt-line to further obscure your view of the oncoming world

I know steel costs less than glass does, but it's gone way too far :mad:

With my M-B W126, at least all four extremities are easy to see, mercifully without having to crane your neck or prop your arse off the seat. I used to love the wonderful field of view given from my W108, in particular its expansive non-raked windshield with the slight wrap-around, and that exceptionally deep rear window which allows you to see exactly where the bodywork ends, to within an inch or so

In this excellent pic of yours you can clearly see the tiny raised 'fins' atop the trailing edges of the W108's rear guards, conveniently placed to allow the driver to precisely see right to the end of the aft bodywork, merely through the rear-view mirror, without even having to turn your head - very convenient!

It's a very pretty view along the contours of those curvy and character-filled W108 bonnets too, which are seemingly draped upon the engine

I think the stylist who penned the timeless W113 Pagoda also did the W108, and was later brought back to transform those tank-like W116s into the rather more deft W126

Funny you should mention the tyres as I initially thought they were Michelin (I've only ever seen ones with two central zigzag treads) then convinced myself they weren't as I've never seen any X's so narrow!

It's Soletta. A Swiss prototype from 1955/56 made by Willi Salzmann. It had a 750 ccm Condor engine in the rear. The idea was to sell it as a kitcar, but the car remained a prototype.

henk4

12-30-2006, 08:13 AM

great find, for those who speak German, here is more

http://www.rollermobilclub.ch/rmc/pages/info/soletta.htm

and it is indeed worth reading.
Salzmann had developed a new type of rear axle, with swing halfshafts and rubber suspension, which he wanted to show at the Paris and Geneva Motorshow. However, showing only a rear axle would mean that he would he have to have a stand at the accessory suppliers sections so he decided to build a complete car around the axle. It is was made of glassfibre, and to save cost was made in symmetric way, i.e. the suicide door on the driver side was mirrored by a normal door for the passenger. Onyl the locks needed to be replaced.
The car has two trunks, in front and in the rear as the two cylinder boxer engine (22 bhp) sits underneath the rear seat.

The car attracted significant interest but Salzmann did not fancy production so it remainded a prototype.

It's a Le Mans CL-1. Japanese of course, as the name implies :D
It's not a kitcar, it was shown first in September 2004 and has a 3,5 V6 GM engine. I don't know if it remained a prototype or have there been more cars constructed. Le Mans is a company that supplies racing chassis and other parts for various Japanese racing series.

Thanks everyone.

I actually spent several hours looking thru the forums of all the car sites I frequent, then I realized it would be a whole lot easier just to ask. ha ha :)

It looked very TVR to me but I couldnt be certain since sometimes small companies tend to copy from others. Thanks for helping me out.
Ive always liked the sharp edged lines of the older tvr's, especially now that new edge styling is popular now. I hear Bertone is going to be making TVR's now, if they also do the styling those new cars are gonna be NICE!

btw, when I mentioned Croatia being East Europe I wasnt refering to its location- I was using that term because here in the US all of the former soviet allies were often called East bloc or Eastern europe to distinguish them from our allies "Western Europe". Sometimes our media here stills calls these now independent countries Eastern Europe ( except Donald Rumsfeld who calls them "new Europe" :) )

Some hints - This car/prototype was in constant development from mid 1970's to around 1986. There were two bodystyles, the original type from mid 70's and a revised, fatter looking one from 1985. This silver car is the 1985 version.
These cars were more than just a kit car, they had some unique engineering in the construction. The early version even had a red l.e.d. digital instrument panel made specifically for the car (the aston martin lagonda had digital display at that time as well.) While im not comparing its engineering to a Lagonda, it was definately not the typical kit car vehicle.

I will post pictures of the early version and some pix from the 1970's brochure.

Also..The name of the car makes one think it is from a different country than its actually from....

Its a car from the USA called a "Guanci."

It was built by an american John Guanci jr. According to the Motor Trend and Road & Track articles there were 4 chassis built. The first two chassis had a chevrolet v8. These versions were made sometime in the mid seventies.
Here are some pictures of the early cars from a factory brochure.

Here are some shots of the red car built in 1981 (chassis #3) which had a 3.8 litre turbo v-6. On this car each of the front headlights were covered by 2 flush mounted slats that opened up - one up the other down -to expose the lamps.

One thing though, the article mentions only 2 cars built but I know there was at least 3 body styles. 1:The original style, 2:The red car with the slatted headlights, and 3: The 1986 rounded looking car that I started this thread with. Perhaps one of the chassis was rebodied?

also here is a link of one for sale-looks like the first bodystyle version.

Looks like a Minotaur to me. A British coupe/spyder/speedster (available also as a kit car) shown for the first time in 1993, produced since 1998. In 2004 2nd generation appeared, dubbed Mk2. It used various British and American V6/V8/V12 engines. Production most probably ceased in 2005.
And the minotaur is not an African animal :D It's a monster from the Greek mythology, half-man half-bull, son of king Minos.

A.I.S.V. Zlatko, a Croatian concept shown in Geneva in 1995.

Is it real? I did a cursory search on the web and could not find any pictures of the A.I.S.V. Zlatko, though I believe that there is such a car - I just question if this is a picture of any real car. Are you sure it is not a photo that was modified with photoshop to distort the original image?

All I know is that it has to be one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen - it looks like someone attempted to design a car around a backwards facing windshield - either that or it was a plastic bodied car that was left in the paint oven a little too long.

If it's a real car, Sledgehammer should start a new thread for the world's ugliest car and see if anyone can top it. (I was going to say "beat" it, but it looks like it's already been beaten with a 50 kg ugly-stick.)

The 2-litre models in the 328 body were called GTB/GTS Turbo, altough I doubt this is one. I don't think they were ever imported in the US, therefore this is just a 328 GTS.

It is real. Or at least was. I remember it from Geneva 1995 (or 96). I think it was the only major show it was shown at. Though I can't tell if it was a fully functional car or just a mock-up.

I'm assuming that you're talking about the picture posted on page 1 of this thread.

Firstly, the car is RHD, it only appears that the seat is in the middle because the passenger seat is pushed back and it has wide door sills. Secondly, the McLaren F1 GTR interior is entirely different, the dash wraps around the whole cockpit, the middle seat is located MUCH further forward than in the picture posted, the dashboard has an entirely different appearance and on the right hand side the 2nd passenger seat has been removed and replaced with electronics. Furthermore, the transmission tunnels which encapsulate the driver are still as prominent in the roadcar, but the picture posted has none.

Unfortunately I still do not know what it actually is...

Definitely not a Camaro; I'd say it's likely an Oldsmobile Cutlass or 4-4-2, judging by the shape of the front-end it's probably a 1971, or maybe a 1972. That grille is certainly not stock.

European Ford's 3-door Sierra XR4i and 5-door Scorpio models that were sold in USA and Canada by Lincoln/Mercury dealers 1985-1989 (Scorpio only 1988-89). The XR4Ti was assembled at Karmann's in Germany, with bodies from Genk (Belgium) and engines from Taubate (Brazil). Scorpios were made in Koeln.
The original equipment on the XR4Ti included the Garrett T3 turbocharger, T9 manual transmission, front wheel disc and rear wheel drum brakes, durable cloth seats and interior panels, and 14 inch x 5.5 inch alloy wheels. Starting in 1986, the wheels were updated to 15 inch x 5.5 inch wheels. Optional items included automatic transmission, cruise control, leather interior, and heated seats.
Most Scorpios shipped to the states were faily well optioned out with leather interior, automatic transmissions, cruise control, and etc. A very small number of Scorpios brought into the states had cloth interior and even fewer with manual 5-speed transmissions.
Despite being highly successful in Europe, neither car was particularly successful in America. Merkurs were finally dropped beacuse of the requirement to add either a passive restraint system or air bags for US models, since these were not requirements for European models. The XR4Ti was dropped first and the Scorpio a few months later in 1989. Of course lower-than-expected sales were also a major factor.

You're absolutely right! (I'd forgotten about the furniture factory aspect).
It did have a famous car's engine design in it (albeit of a lighter weight casting material), and is known by that manufacturer's name.

Thanks for not giving the answer away too quickly - so others might have a chance to ponder it.

I had mistakenly thought this was a 'name that car' contest type of thread, so it was inappropriate of me to post something I already knew what it was.

Rather than tell you all I know, let me recommend you just Google on "Bugatti Model 100 Racer" and you'll find lots of history on it. Very briefly, it was designed by Louis DeMonge and built by Bugatti under a French gov't contract to win an aircraft racing trophy back from Germany, but the Germans invaded and overran Bugatti's factories just as the plane was completed. It was absolutely intended to fly, but never got the chance. A Bugatti 'restorer' named Ray Jones unearthed it around 1970 but removed the two Type-50B magnesium racing engines and sold the airframe. Long story short, it ended up at the EAA museum in Oshkosh where it was restored for display only. It's beautiful and has a lot of innovative features. It's a shame they never got tested in flight. Some say it would hold the propellor driven speed record to this day; others say it would have had serious wing fluttter problems and torn itself apart at higher speeds.

Too big for a Ford and in a price-class above. The style-clue I've been using is the grille surround's distinctive droopy wrap-down at the centre-top of the chrome horseshoe (curved like an inverted handlebar moustache) which accomodates the badge. Also that outline of the badge visible on the trunk. Both of these features are naggingly familiar, but hard to pin down

Highly likely to be around circa 1928-30. So far I've looked at Oakland, Studebaker, Graham-Paige, LaSalle, Lincoln, Oldsmobile, Franklin, Reo, Hudson ..?

Alright, I've got two cars for you that I'm not sure about. I've attached below three pictures; try to imagine them without the chain-link fence in the way. Hopefully some of our European members might be able to help me out :) .

The first one is black with gold trim, and is in pictures 1 and 2 below. On the left rear it says "Lancia Zagato" and on the right rear it says "Injection." From that I can conclude it's a Lancia, but I'm not sure of the model. Or was there a car called the Lancia Zagato? Any idea how rare it is in the United States?

The second one is the goldish-brownish one visible in the foreground of picture 2 and in picture 3. I know it's a Fiat (it said FIAT on the wheels), and I suspect it's an X1/9. If I'm right, let me know; if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

Both of these cars were photographed behind a local garage that appears to specialize in European makes; there are usually several interesting cars parked out front (anything from run of the mill Fiats or Triumphs to Daimler limosines or Land Rover Series 1's). Parked behind the garage on the day I stopped by was a rather eclectic mix, all in varying states of disrepair. In addition to the cars in question, there was a 1980's Alfa Romeo Spider, a Fiat 124 Spider, at least three Jaguar sedans, a Volvo 122 two-door, two BMW 3.0's, and one-and-a-half Triumph Spitfires.

the car in 3rd (and 2nd) pic is a Fiat X 1/9 (or maybe the later Bertone version) which was a continuation after Fiat officially stopped producing the X 1/9.

The Lancia is a mystery to me, but whatever it is, it looks like it is worth saving. It could be a Zagato derivative on the basis of the Beta, but I have never seen it before. (AFAIR)......and then one tries Google

peugeot 206 :pNo silly, he's talking about the thing in front of it.

Ford Focus stationwagon.

I actually have no idea, but it looks like an open 70s V8 racecar.

Porsche 906 most likely,

Sauc3

03-22-2007, 02:27 AM

Porsche 906 most likely,
I'm going to have to disagree, from what I can see the car is open, while the 906 (to the best of my knowledge) has always been closed and had a plastic/glass engine cover, whereas this this is open (see through Focus rear window) and has no see-through engine cover.

let's go for a 908 then, it is a Porsche for sure, look at the Martini logo...and I am actually pretty sure that it is this car, shot during the 2005 Tour Auto...

...the other one (not talking about the scenic behind :p ) it looks like a porsche :confused: to me? It's a spider car, but no idea about wich one...

Thanks for the other ones :p but I'm still confused ...

That looks like a very likely candidate.

That looks like a very likely candidate.

in hindsight it could also be a 910 actually...yes it is, it is in here towards the end of the slide show

If it was a Lotus it would have the Lotus logo. The logo says "B3". I think it's one of those rare one car brands.

Oops I didn't notice :o

From the angle the pic is taken from, its very hard to count the number of spring leafs in the rear suspension. That coupled with no identifying badgework makes it a real challenge to identify it as a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton model etc. I'm confident its 2WD though :D

I saw a Ferrari yesterday that I couldn't identify. It looked very much like a Corvette in fact with small circular lights in the rear and had a GTS badge on it. It could have been an open top, but I'm not sure.

Ferrer

03-26-2007, 03:53 PM

I'm betting on a 308/328 GTS.

NSXType-R

03-26-2007, 05:23 PM

Actually, now that I think about it, it looks very much like this one.

http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18391

There were two weird box thingys on where the engine compartment was. I don't think that was a GTS badge. My father couldn't keep up with it when the traffic in front of us slowed. Are there any other Ferrari's with weird box things on top of the engine compartment? If not I'm pretty sure this one is it. It wasn't extremely old. However, the headlights look very iffy because I don't remember them being tinted so orange.

A quick bit of googling suggests that it's a '59 Cadillac with Miller-Meteor coachwork, like the one below.

And Wikipedia confirms it:

The Ectomobile is a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor limo-style endloader combination (hearse/ambulance) used in the 1984 film Ghostbusters and other Ghostbusters fiction.

You do have this bizarre routine going on. Every now and then, you post a completely random selection of pictures here.

Why do you do it?
Where do you pick them up?
Is there any particular reason why do you want to know the names of all these random cars?
Do you even remember the ones that were identified for you a week ago?

Right know it looks to me that you are competing in some kind of automotive trivia contest and you are using people here to cheat.

Maybe I'm wrong. If your ultimate goal is to increase your automotive knowledge, then may I suggest more systematical approach, like start readng through UCP articles in the main page.

Please remember, knowledge comes with time. I've been seriously into cars only 7-8 years now and I think I know barely the basics of them.

On the Isotta-Fraschini I remember seing it in car magazines back in 1996. I knew it was an Isotta-Fraschini but didn't remember the model name. I googled "Isotta-Fraschini concept" and found it.

But basically what Vaigra said also applies.
