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🤯

1954 Salmson 2300S by Charbonneaux (Be careful the text says 1955, but the car in the museum was labeld with 1954) Emile Salmson, an engineer, began building pumps and small engines in Paris, France, in 1890. The firm began building airplane engines, then complete airplanes, during WWI. After the war, production expanded into automobile manufacturing. Their first product was a British-designed GN cyclecar, built under license. In 1920 Salmson began production of its first proper car, the model AL. Salmson was an early adopter of production automobile double overhead cam (DOHC) engines, in 1922. The 2300S, introduced in 1953, was Salmson’s final model, based on the saloon Salmson Randonnée. The street version had a top speed of 112 mph, and was a popular race car—one competed in the 1956 24 Hours of Le Mans. Bodies were built by Esclassan and by Henri Chapron. Beside the coupe were also a Cabriolet available. One of these was manufactured by Antem with a coachwork from Philipe Charbonneaux. This car is now in the Musée National de l'Automobile. Mulhouse/F. High post war taxes on larger engines and slow sales (89 vehicles in 1952) led to Salmson’s bankruptcy and an end to automotive operations in 1957. The automobile plant was sold to Renault but the Salmson brand continues in France today as a high-quality manufacturer of pumps.

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.

Sorry this. Quiz is cancelled

Upps this type of car was already in Autoquiz #571.I’ m sorry for this. Otherunicorn had informed me about the faliure. Thanks to otherunicorm for this. Tomorrow I‘ll set up a new quiz.

Due to the fact that a new quiz is on going I will give you the solution for this quiz. No announcement of solution to this quiz I will give you the answer to this truck quiz. Industrias Aeronáuticas y Mecánicas del Estado (IAME) Rastrojero Diesel NP-66 from 1952 - 1969 (Article in spain). I don't know who had sent in the correct answer so nobody will get a recommendation. Sorry

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.

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.

Great build. This i also in my list of next projects

Cool build. I currently working on the Profile24 Howmet TX in 1/24 scale

I agree and those are cheap, around $20 plus 10$ shipping and import tax in Germany

Sorry changed

Thanks for all your comments

Thanks

Yes it is

Not from Fujimi but Irtaleri has a 40Ft container trailer and 2 20ft trailer

Today I got the first kit of the new container series from Fujimi. The scale is 1/24 or so. There will be a total of 5 different colors of the 20ft Container. I had to build one of them and compared it with the Italeri 20ft container. The level of details is better compared to the Italeri one. Specially the doors are much better. On of the container sides can be either be in transparent plastic or in green like in my case. The major issue with this kit is that the container locks stands out of the shape of the container body not within the structure. This means that it is al tleast 2 mm or 0,078" too long compared to the Italeri container, And this is the reason why it doesn't fit on the Italeri 20ft container trailer or the DMTC 20ft container trailer. So we are modeller's so it should be an easy takes to modify the container. Here some pictures. The orange container idsthe Italeri one.
