Sir Vival

[ribatejo69]

1959? 1960? Sir Vival Car
a safety car in mind. in fact, the most ugly car ever?

[Turbo.Jenkens]

Interesting, I'd have to say somebody got promoted beyond their abilities.

[NSXType-R]

So it's jointed in the middle by something?

Reminds me of some front end loaders.

Interesting indeed.

Does anyone have decent quality photos of this car? Compiling images for a book and would like to include it.

thanks,

Jim

aye, working on it...

as the name indicates, the main aim of design was survival of driver and passenger during accident. Walter C. Jerome of Worcester, Massachusetts built the car basing on 1948 Nasha

building the car Jerome hoped to convince big companies to his ideas. among those were two-part body, engine and driving wheel placed in the upper part and passanger compartment on the rear. both parts were linked with special bumpers. the driver had massive greenhouse with great view on what's going on on the road

unfortunately any of producers weren't interested in the project. the only car has survived up to date and can be seen at Edward Moore's collection in Bellington, Massachusetts

engine: modified six-cylinder Ford desmodronic engine made of iron, 250 cc: 3.68 x 3.91 inches, 170 KM @ 4500 rpm. two-stroke Autolite carburettor

4 gears, manual Ford gearbox, optionally there was to be offered three-gear automatic Cruise-O-Matic.

150 inches long, wheelbase: 104,5 inches, front track: 59 inches, rear 58.95; tires: 185SR x 15

name of model: SS100, price: 9000 $, weight: 2200 (of i don't know what, i'd assume kgs?)

Jim, don't know how decent these are, moreover you could have seen these already - they're from classiccardotcom forums.

welcome, apparently few people in France go to Ultimatecarpage.com, otherwise they would not have such a long discussion about a vehicle shown here two years ago

I like the Hispano six wheeler.

Hello Henk4,

The Sir Vival est une voiture extraordinaire, certes, mais, nous, les français, avons créé les Citroën DS, SM, Ami6, 2CV, les Panhard 24, les Alpine Renault...

Bien cordialement

vous avez oublié le bug electronique

Somehow that reminds me of the car Homer ends up building for his brother on the Simpsons.
