Hi all, Hopefully the mighty HAMB can answer me a question that's bugged me since I discovered this car: [IMG] Anybody recognise these...
I was wondering how long it'd be before John Bolster got mentioned. I'll get a copy of that book someday. I'm a big fan of Bloody Mary, a largely...
Love the steering wheel in my '60 Belvedere, judging by eBay I think it's the most valuable part of the car. This '60 Fury lowrider has had most...
Here's a car in the UK that's always fascinated me, though I know very little about it. I believe it's called the Grenville Mercury Special, and...
The Ford Popular has always been a favourite in the UK for specials to be founded on. Fairly small, cheap and plentiful. The same chassis would...
Oooh, yeah, bench vice - amazing how difficult it is to do stuff without it. And while we're there - the bench. AND, some space. Any time I did...
Call me stoopid but how does that brake tool work?
Here's a 1950 machine that hasn't been mentioned, the Briggs Cunningham Cadillac Le Monstre. I see no reason this couldn't be immediately taken...
I'm a big fan of that Voisin. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Images c/o: http://www.switchimage.org/Lefebvre_1_E.html I like the...
Here's mine: [IMG]
I guess nothing's new. This looks an awful lot like my current drawing iteration: [IMG] Leston Special If this auto looks more like an airplane...
On VW running gear: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] http://www.themotoringjournal.com/parts-for-sale/frankfurt-flyer-pt-4-4.html
I think the Rumpler has a lot of potential from the aerodynamics point of view. Cars are difficult to achieve low drag coefficients with (as...
I'm a big fan of Tatras, very technically advanced if a little flawed in the dynamics department. The problems of a streamlined shape with a...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRs8Md-F7W8 It even works<VIDEO class=video-stream data-youtube-id="CRs8Md-F7W8" x-webkit-airplay="allow"...
That is stunning. I want that, exactly as it is, on my driveway. Just magnificent. It's funny how the patinated bare metal highlights its shape...
Lot's of good stuff since the last time I looked at this thread. Ade - Thank you for posting those pics of Jappic. I thought I'd seen all...
Dawie's right, these should be in this thread (hope you don't mind me cloning your post Dawie). Never seen that top one before - the utter...
I think the Nash bathtubs had a lot of aerodynamic features (closed fenders etc) but not necessarily low drag by overall design (I seem to recall...
I have never seen those Lancias before, they're gorgeous. The BMW Kamm coupe has a drag coefficient that'd give a modern ecobox a run for its...
[IMG] Here's an early 'liner that's completely new to me, the Spalding Brothers built it in '39, one of the first streamlined hot rods. It...
[IMG] This is sweet! I'd love to get the sides of my four door that smooth, glossy paint like that will really show up my waves. Kripfink - no...
Those images of the little white car worked fine when I first posted them - only since I got back have they been talking nonsense. I love the...
Here's the image I had of it: [IMG] Looks a little like a C-type jag with a nose cone.
A few . . . ;) [IMG] I believe this is a guy called Steve Thomas' downhill racer. He's a composite specialist who used to work for Aston Martin...
Ahhh - I've got a picture on my pc of that gull wing machine - I've always wondered what it was! Metalshapes- I see what you mean about ugly....
The Russians getting in on it - the GAZ M-20 Pobeda Sport. One of those cars that 'would-be-beautiful-if-there-wasn't-somthing-a-bit-off'. [IMG]...
[IMG] And in original racing trim: [IMG][IMG] This is probably the closest thing to what I was thinking of - I don't think the modifications...
This the one? http://www.hotrod.com/thehistoryof/historical_articles/hrdp_1110w_1954_vintage_article_the_streetliner/
Think this is the Fageol Supersonic - the car was originally a land speed racer but turned into a road car. Doesn't often happen that way round...
