espo Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 The grill area looks a lot like a Cunningham, the front bumpers and rear quarters look like a British AC come Cobra. What ever it is he must be waiting for the Triple A Road Service for the flat left front tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Grill doe not look quite right for a Cunningham. I'm leaning towards a Bristol ( 1957 ? ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I'm thinking maybe a customized Cobra, or maybe some fiberglass special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None in 1/24 -1/25 but very simple to convert using a Cobra. I've looked seriously at it. The track is identical and wheelbase is only 1/2" difference. Rework grille area and add little fins on the rear. Probably some simple body mods. Uses a Fiat 8V engine, which I've already made - see my "The Supersonic has landed" discussion in the On the Workbench section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Father Knows Best is where I snagged that photo I posted. That episode just happened to be on this morning. That is Bud drooling in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 Cool car . Cobra could be starting point but there a lot of differences. More than I could handle with my meager talents. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
