  1. Based on the car that is unsafe at any speed Bertone build this show car that was presented at the Gevena Motor Show in 1963. The car is called Chevrolet Testudo. GM wanted to promote the Corvair sales in europe and the ask Pininfarina and Bertone to build a car. Bertone's Giorgetto Guigaro designed the body on a 14" shorter Corvair chassis.

  5. While speak about Flatheads you have to know something about Ardun heads
  6. Another excellent source with information about flathead is The Flat-Spot. A few information are only applicable for Premium members but where can you get brochure, drawing etc.
  7. Early V8 is also interesting And my own fotki album about my F1 and its engine
  8. This would be an easy one I thought, most of you good the year and manufacturer right in the first place but thr type wasn't that easy. This car is a 1952 Pontiac Chieftain Catalina. The Catalina was the more luxurious version of the Chieftain. It was offered as a hardtop coupe (like in the picture).

  9. You are correct for 1961 but with the increase wheelbase in 1964 they had design a new box similar to the 1960 one. 4" in the front panel different rear corners for f100 and F250 and 2 different mounting points.
  10. I'm think about to build one of the 1966 F100 from Moeboius as a wrongbed truck. As far as I under stood is the socalled wrong bed not a 1960 bed that what used on the '64-'66 F100. The 1961 the 1960 bed was used on the F350. THe wheelbase on the 1961-1963 F-Series was 4" shorter than on the 1964-1966 models. There for the bed is different. Is there a resin caster that offer a 1964-1966 Wrongbed for a F100?
  11. This car was the last one that Marcos Engineering Ltd. build in 2007 before the went out of business. The 2006 Marcos TSO GTC was powered by a 350 cui Chevrolet engine, had a 6 speed transmission. A rear diffuser, a racing suspension and racing brakes differ the GTC from the TSO GT. TSO GT or GT2 share the same front view therefor I also accept GT or GT2 as a correct answer The correct answer were sent in by: Ace-Garageguy matthijsgrit thatz4u Fabrux Congratulations

  14. I agree even when the engine is idling the sound is incredible. When they did the 6:52 lap time on the Nürburging it was sometimes over the noise limi t on the track 🤩. When the blower starts whining it sounds like hell on a way 😍
  15. I saw this Ford Mustang GTD Preproduction car not on the road but at the Vehicle Enthusiat Day at Ford of Germany's John Andrews Development Center.
  16. While attending a workshop at the DLRG in Bad Nenndorf /Germany I saw this 1964 Dodge Custom 880. Due to the fact that ist painted matt black over all I wasn't sure what kind of car it is when I saw it from the window of my room in the Hotel.

  18. The 1958 - 1968 Austin Gipsy was a direct competitor to Rover's Land Rover. Like the Land Rover it was aimed to be sold on military and civilian markets. A petrol 2.2 l or a diesel 2.2l engibe were available. The car in the picture is a G4M10 built from 1965 -1968. The last series (G4M) can be identified by the spilt grill compared to a single grill in the first series G1M or G2M . Only two of you refers to the correct last series model year 1965-1968 but all other sent in the correct Make and Type with the 1958-1968 year span. Highly recommended 1965 - 1968 thatz4u warra48 Matt Bacon Recommended 1958 - 1968 Bucky Fabrux ChrisR DonW otherunicorn Ace-Garageguy Earl Marischal stichdup Congratulations to all of you. I hope that I didn't miss somebody.
  19. At the time of the Austin Kimberly - Austin Tasman (X6) being launched onto the Australian market it was quite an advanced design in comparison to the other competitors like Ford Falcon , Holden Kingswood and Chrysler Vailiant whose rear-wheel drive, conventionally sprung underpinnings dominated the market at the time. However, the complexities of front-wheel-drive were an issue against the car, and compounded with the lack of body variations and models, the X6 was never a serious threat to the dominance of the rear-wheel-drive and multiple-body Holdens, Fords and Chryslers. From 1970 - 1972 the successor of the Austin1800 were build in Australia and New Zealand (As a Morris Kimberly or Morris Tasman). Powered by a 135 cui inline 6 from the Austin Maxi the main body work of the Austion 1800 were used along with a new design front and rear section. The correct answer were sent in by: thatz4u Matt Bacon Ace-Garageguy Earl Marischal Fabrux ChrisR (sorry for this) Congratulations

  21. When do you want to come to Germany? We had our show on June 21 in Bruehl/Germany There are a several shows here in Germany. Here is a link with a few general scale modeling show dates: https://www.modellversium.de/modellbau-termine/ From my experiences the follwing shows a worth a visit: Sep. 20/21 - 34. Modellbauausstellung des PMC Main-Kinzig (Military/Planes/Figures/Cars/Trucks) Sep. 20/21 - Modellautoausstellung in Hanau (Cars/Trucks - The best cars and truck show in Germany) 0ct. 30 - 30. Jahresausstellung des PMC Saar (Military/Planes/Figures/Cars/Trucks) Oct. 25/26 - 16. Modellbauausstelllung des Modellbauclubs Koblenz (Military/Planes/Figures/Cars/Trucks) Regarding the big shows: The Intermodellbau is mainly a show for railway modeling, rc-models. There is only one club that shows scale models like car, trucks, planes. I had organised a club booth for my local club at Intermodellbau for a couple of years. But over the years plastic modeling had dropped down to a minimum so that isn't interesting for me anymore. But that is my personal opinion. If you have never been to the show yes it is worth to spend a few hours there. More plastic modeling is represented at the Fazination Modellbau in Friedichshafen. This show has also modellers from Switzerland and Austria as participants If you need more information you are welcome.
