  11. That is the cooling tower of a coal power plant. I took several pictures of the truck in front of the coal power plant but I didn't realize that cooling tower looks like the load of the truck. The coal power plant will be shut down in 2035 like all coal power plants in Germany and not like somebody lies that we in Germany have every week a new coal power plant will deliver electricity. Sorry for this political statement.

One brochure said it is a Fiat 800 T but another Fiat Brochure said Fiat 600T. Therefore both answer are correct. This commercial was build from 1955 (Fiat 600T) - 1975 (Fiat 850T).

  15. This is the attempt of Mercury to offer a cheap stripped model below the Custom. The 1956 Mercury Medalist was offered as a two-door sedan, four door sedan, two-door and four-door pillarless hardtop. Compared to the Custom the medalist lacks the bumper guards and less chrome applications. Standard powertrain was a210 hp 312 cui Y block with a three speed manual transmission. It looked more like a a Ford Fairlane than a Mercury. The customers didn't like it and the sales rate was low therefore the Medalist was dropped from the line in 1957. The correct answer were sent in by: Bucky Ace-Garageguy Fabrux thatz4u TarheelRick otherunicorn Pete J. ChrisR Tim W.Socal Well done, congratulations
  16. Yes I simply forgot to post the answer.
  17. First I have to say was too lazy for a new quiz, but know it is time to give you the solution . The Ford Falcon XY 4X4 ute was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a potential new 4WD for the Australian armed forces. The project showed a lot of promise, and there was a surge in interest in the vehicle from regular Australians after spy shots of an early prototype appeared in the press. The military version of the XY 4X4 ute would never see the light of day as the army opted to stick with more familiar body-on-chassis designs from Land Rover. In the late 1960s the Australian military was looking to acquire new four-wheel drive vehicles that would be a little more powerful than the four-cylinder Land Rovers they then had in service. Ford Australia got wind of this potentially lucrative new military contract and set to work developing a four-wheel drive version of its model XY ute. Ford was working closely with Willys at the time, the local importer of Jeeps, supplying engines and other parts from the Falcon model line to ensure that spare parts availability for Australian Jeep owners would be straight forward. As a result of this connection Ford had access to Jeep’s highly respected drivetrain hardware. In the end the military decided to stay with the rugged body-on-chassis Land Rover, stepping up to a six-cylinder engine. Despite missing out on the military contract, Ford executives decided to stay the course and develop a production version of the car. Spy shots of a prototype had been published in the media and the public reaction had been overwhelmingly positive. The biggest challenge faced by the engineering team was getting a leaf-sprung front axle assembly under the XY Falcon Significant strengthening and reinforcement was necessary front and back, particularly in the front where new steel frames were added from the firewall forwards to better cope with the weight and loads of the live axle. The inline six-cylinder engine needed to be tilted to one side to allow clearance between the sump and the front differential, this also required an angled adapter be fitted to the intake to keep the carburettor level. Due to a public demand Ford build 432 x4x Falcon XY Ute with venerable Ford Falcon six-cylinder 4.1 litre overhead valve engine, a Borg Warner AS5 T15A manual three speed transmission and a Spicer Model 20 2 Speed box. It went on sale as 1972 Ford Falcon XY Ute 4x4. The correct answer were sent in by Junkman thatz4u ChrisR Tim W.SoCal Matt Bacon Bainford otherunicorn Fabrux warra48 Ace-Garageguy Congratulations
  18. My current project is a 1961 Ford F100 Utility. cab is from Dan's Models before Moebius brought the F100 on the market. Utility box from a 1965 F100. Chassis, rims and twin turbo Coyote engine are 3d printed.
  19. This is a 1986 - 1990 Ford Escort RS Turbo. It was the top model of the Escort. The engine was a 1600cc fuel-injected CVH engine taken from the S1 Turbo but now fitted with the Garret T3 turbo (water-cooled, unlike the S1), revised engine management settings, lower overall gearing, an improved gearbox and limited-slip differential, a larger clutch and improved KE Jetronic unit and inter-cooler. Suspension and chassis changes included stiffer front and rear springs, uprated anti-roll bars, mechanical ABS and larger brakes. The S2 car produced an impressive 132bhp at 5750 rpm, with maximum torque of 133 lb/ft produced at 2750 rpm, giving it ample performance with a top speed of 125 mph and a 0-60mph time of 8.3 seconds.
