I only got one corret answer until now it seems that this car is to though for you. Let me give you a hint. The manufacture of this car started as pump manufacturing company. They late build also airplanes. Think that should be enough. I see yout brains working🤯 -

It seems that this is tougher than I thought Hint: 5" shorter -
This time I was looking for a different Hudson. Most of answered Hudson Hornet or Hudson "Commodore" (which named Commodore Six or Commodore Eight but never Commodore), no it is the 5" shorter 1952 Hudson Wasp. The difference can be seen at the front fender which is shorter than on the Hornet. Another difference is the engine. Standard was the 232 cui L-Head I6 engine, while the Hornet had the 308 cui L-Head I6. The correct answer were sent in by: Bucky otherunicorn Ace-Garageguy Matt Bacon ChrisR TarheelRick Fabrux DonW Tim W. Socal Thom Congratulation

I think that I found a car that makes some of you thinking in the wrong way. This is not a Facelila, Facel Vega Facel II or Facel 6 or a HK500. This is a 1965 Facel Vega Facel III (sorry German side) powered by a 1.8l Volvo engine. This car replaced the Facelila that was powered by an 1.65 l engiene that was developed by Facel Vega and this engine suffered from high oil comsumption and burned pistions. The high number of engine blow up's led to financial problems and ruined the image and reputation of Facel Vega. As a result of the ill fated Facelila Facel Vega introduced the Facel II 1963. The Facel III was distinguish by the engine, headlights, grill , rear fender, trunk lid, taillights and dashboard to the Facelila. ( I hope that I'm grammatically correct - I hate gramma). The Facel II was build from 1963 - 1964. After 432 cars production ends and Facel Vega was history. The correct answer were sent in by: Ace-Garageguy thatz4u Earl Marischal otherunicorn DonW matthijsgrit ChrisR Well done and congratulations

I have to stop this unhealthy discussion. I have to break a lance for Jose (Big Messer). After the death of Harry P. we were looking for someone who takes over the old Autoquiz. Otherunicorn jumped in and later I as in charge. I had added some new ideas like truck quiz, taillight quiz or one off. Some works well some not. Jose is new in this section and he had an idea for a quiz. The truck is an interesting subject and not that easy to find. He had started the quiz without knowing that I usual do the quiz. How should he know this? There is no information who should do the quiz, there are only rules. I don't want to be the one and only who does the quiz. I can remember that other members did the quiz since I took over the quiz section from otherunicorn. Some ask if they could do the next quiz or sent interesting cars to me as a quiz idea. In the first moment I was surprised that somebody had started a new quiz, but then I said ok I don't have to start a new one. I had sent him the answer for this quiz and we chat about how we usually do the quiz. I gave him some advises like adding a number in the header and that he should attach the rules to a new quiz. For me it is ok that Jose had started the quiz. And Ihope that my answer is correct

As far as I understood has Chassis GTP2 or TX-2 have an Allison 250C18 turbine . Here is a video of at Jay Leno's Garage. BAsed on a spare chassis GTP3 was build with a Allsion 250C18 turbine but without a waste gate. Chassis GTP1 or TX-1 has a an original Continental TS325-1 turbine installed after its restoration.

This is an later installed Allsion turbine.
