1951 Studebaker Champion Regal Convertible

mr hippo, if that was in reply to the small photo I posted of the yellow convertible, no. Not by Raymond Loewy or by Brooks Stevens, not Studebaker.

Tucker ?????

[PeaceBlondie]

Not Tucker. Not by a manufacturer or body company still in existence. Stunning, with a 3 stage convertible top, and sliding doors! Over 400 examples were made by what was then a regular manufacturer.

1954 Kaiser-Darrin

[lannarebirth]

The piock up isn't a Ford or a Holden

The car in the previous post (264) is a 1954 Packhard Clipper.

Chevy 48????

The Bkack and red vintage is a Packard Clipper de Luxe 54

And this one is not in good condition indeed

Bought one at auction once for $400. AMC Ambassador.

Confirming: the yellow convertible was a Kaiser Darrin 161, totally American.

[PeaceBlondie]

I can't think of a car made from paper mache' or cardboard. But at Houston's Annual Art Car Show, I'll bet it's been done. http://www.orangeshow.org/artcar.html

The blue one is amphibious? The other one is the 2CV Combat minus the gun turret.

[djinn]

Isuzu Imark diesel 82

I think it seems like an americanised copy of an opel Kadett but not sure

At least you tried

So an easier one

Pontiac, probably 1957, probably the year Bunky Knudsen as chief of the divison removed the silver streaks that his father put there. Same year as the first Bonneville. That may be a Chieftain, only a two door, practically an economy model, shared body with Chevrolet Bel Air.

If I won that one and it's my turn, here's the car of which I had the white model in my bedroom when I was a teenager

The second model is from the same marque and decade, but a drivable dream car that featured in more than one movie

[mr_hippo]

Holy classic cars, Batman, the smaller car is the Lincoln Futura

You killed me PeaceBlondie. you are an encyclopedia.Pontiac 57 Cheftain

Yours,I would say Chrysler

A little bit more difficult now (for me at least)

[taxexile]

pbs' first lincoln was an airfix model for me too.

djinns is a chevy , 1930 or 31 , the bonnet (hood) vents are the clue.

still no takers on this one then (its not a lincoln)

Edited August 1, 2007 by taxexile

[PeaceBlondie]

taxexile may not have said so, but he knows the white Lincoln was so Continental it was the rebirth of the classic Lincoln Continental, and debuted as the most expensive mass produced car in the world, and surely one of the best proportioned. 1956 and 1957. And yes, the Lincoln Futura dream car became the Batmobile.

taxile, could you please recap what your gorgeous cream colored mystery car is and isn't, on the basis of our guesses so far? Not pininfarina, not Nash, not Cunningham? Surely 1950's, and that long hood could hide a straight eight. Front end has a mustache like a barchetta or a Tojeiro AC Bristol

[taxexile]

a couple more pictures of this american/italian V8 from 1953.

mainstream us manufacturer , still producing some of the best designed us cars today.
