59 oldsmobile ambulance????

Re: Guess the Car
 

Right on both counts. I guess that was just too easy.

Re: Guess the Car
 

Pretty close. My friend is an early 1960s Pontiac hoarder.

A 61 Pontiac ambulance:

Throw something else up here. Straining the brain is good when you're over (way over) the 50 mark !!

Re: Guess the Car
 

Those look like '59 Cadillac tail lights mounted in there...

Re: Guess the Car
 

Car is obvious. What is the story?

Re: Guess the Car
 

I'll guess hydrazine based on your posting of the same car about the "no solid rocket fuel". Racers were playing with hydrazine about that time since nitro wasn't enough. LOL! It spawned such great photos, but my favorite is the Magic Muffler Fiat blowing the crank out the bottom of the car and the driver looking down at the carnage. One of those Priceless moments from the credit card company.

Re: Guess the Car
 

Looks like it crashed...:p The story I heard that a rod broke and locked the motor up and the car flipped a few times & sliding on it's roof...but there were 3 cars built, so if that's the story on what happened on this run who knows for sure.

Re: Guess the Car
 

Anyone here remember these things called 'Zingers' that toured the car show circuit...several were built of different types of cars and all had their own names.

1929 Blower Bentley?
1932 Dusenberg J?
1939 Delahaye Figoni & Falaschi roadster?
1937 Talbot-Lago?

1968 Hemi Dart?

Re: Guess the Car
 

Is that the Landy car?

Re: Guess the Car
 

Wasn't there a Corvette, and a Van, and a dune buggy.

Re: Guess the Car
 

You are correct. The stick car

Re: Guess the Car
 

There were several Zingers built originally but a few more came out later on...

Re: Guess the Car
 

Those Zingers look like a real version of the Rat Fink shirts Ed Roth made famous. Less the Rat Fink though. The GIANT shifter is missing too!

Re: Guess the Car
 

Came across this thing...'guess the car' seems appropriate here.

Re: Guess the Car
 

obviously a Rambler American.........but why?

I'd bet that was a fun ride.

Re: Guess the Car
 

Check out the front mounting point on them "track bars". Coupled with the short wheel base, me's thinkin the fun ride will turn into a fill yur pants ride before you could even react to it.
You, gotta ask yurself tho-----why??? Ya it's differnt but -----why????

ps it didn't even make this pass. Maybe the racing gods were looking down on him that day & saved this guys toosshee. Check out the guy pushing it behind the line, & the spill at the line

Re: Guess the Car
 

Anybody know what track that is ?

Re: Guess the Car
 

Probably one that you've not been too, because I didn't even know they had a dragstrip on the island...PEI Raceway Park.

There's some more old photos here...

Re: Guess the Car
 

The traveling Canadians have told some interesting stories about PEI ,particlarly involving excursions thru the grass median!

Re: Guess the Car
 

How about taking a guess at what this one might be...

Re: Guess the Car
 

The new NASCAR Camaro.
Now they can do what they always do.
Turn a four door into a two door "holmogated" racecar.

Re: Guess the Car
 

It has 4 letters on the front fender,,,, only 4 lettered car I can remember from Chevy is
Nova,, which this obviously isn't. It sure is interesting looking,,,,, maybe an LS9- 6 speed sedan, for Chevy's entry into the sedan wars,,,, look out Beemer boys!

Re: Guess the Car
 

When I first seen the photo of that Chevrolet 4 door I thought it was the new Impala, because it had the look from the late sixties taillights.

Re: Guess the Car
 

OK, I am going to try this. I have 2 pics of a Factory made car that only 1 was produced.

Re: Guess the Car
 

I think you will find this is the new "SS" based on the Australian built Holden Comadore . It is produced as a Caprice for Police service. I've heard this will be the NASCAR body for next year in cup.

Re: Guess the Car
 

It obviously is a Ford/Mercury product...so I'm gonna say a one off Mercury Marauder?

Re: Guess the Car
 

Moose, you are on it! 2002 Mercury brought this to the International Mercury Owners Association Convention in Dearborn. Later I spoke to some of the engineers and begged for a 2 door coupe. If they would have, I would own it. I heard this one sold on Ebay shortly after, havent heard a thing more about it since.

Re: Guess the Car
 

Okay lets see...take a guess who this is.

Re: Guess the Car
 

Tritack, bad spelling

Re: Guess the Car
 

Yes it's the Tritak & Morgan '63 Plymouth wagon...

Re: Guess the Engine
 

This is pretty obscure. I took this photo at the Miller Reunion in Milwaukee last summer. No, it's not a Harry Miller engine, but it's from the same period. Think Francais! I love the engine turned finish.

Re: Guess the Car
 

Frontenac...circle track guys used them I think.

Re: Guess the Car
 

Let's try the car the engine was in. Italian name but they were built in France. I believe this one was from 1927.

Re: Guess the Car
 

This might not take too long to guess, but it is a cool picture of "performance"
