The picture shows the first ever built Leader Challenger B-Series parked outside of Rosenthal Enterprise at Rocklea/QLD, Australia where the B-Series fibreglass-cabs were build. Leader was a truck manufacturer established in 1971 in Toowoomba/QLD. The first truck that Leader produced was a COE the 8x4 Leader LF. For the LF-Series Leader had used fibreglass Mack F-Series cab. With the termination of the Mack F- Series cab delivery by Mack in 1975, Leader start building there own fibreglass-cab for the A-Series COE. In 1979 Leader brought ther first conventional model to market. This time the used Nissan UD firberglass-cabs with a there for own bonnet/hood. The B-Series was available 4x2 or 6x4 configuration. They were powered by Caterpillar 3306, Caterpillar 3406 GM&V92 and GM8V92 engines. Transmissions options are etan-Fuller Roadrangers with 9,13 and 15 speeds or 14 speed Spicer spoiler. Sales started early 1980 but the sales figures were low, although the truck had received good reports in the national truck industry magazines. It seems that only 25 -30 Challengers mostly as prime movers were build. The main reason for these low figures as that the competion to contend with was higher that on the A-Series. In March 1984 Leader built the last ruck a A6X6-208.

This time I was looking for a car from the UK. Between 1968 - 1975 Reliant had build the Scimitar GTE. The Scimitar were powered by a 3.0l Ford Essex engine. Originally designed by Ogle. It was first show on the 1968 London Motor Show. The correct answer were sent in by: Draggon gbtr6 Bucky Pete J. otherunicorn Earl Marischal sjordan2 Richard Bartrop Bainford DonW dw1603 Well done THe Autoquiz will from now on a bi-weekly quiz inconjuction with truck quiz.

I think that the first truck quiz was a success. From 1972 to 1980 Scot trucks built 1155 trucks at their plant in Debert, Nova Scotia, near Truro. Parent company Irving (which included Irving Oil, J.D.Irving Ltd and a host of subsidiaries) needed trucks and found that assembling components allowed them to avoid the high duties on complete vehicles. It also allowed them to deal directly with suppliers for engines, transmissions, etc., The trucks were quite modern and even revolutionary for their time, with several innovations. However by today's standards they were pretty basic. For the Scot A1S Ford Louisville cabs together with their own hood.

This car is a 1952 Studebaker Z-87 or Porsche Type 542. Sudebake had asked Porsche to designe a 4 Door car for them. The first concept was in principle a 4 door Porsche 356, But Studebaker rejected it. They wanted a bigger front engined car. Porsche presented the Type 542 or Z-87 to Studebaker but the rejected this proposal as well.

Nice build

It seems that you need a hint. This car was designed and build by a company that is known for there racing history. The customer of this company was located in South Bend, IN..

I learned something new. Thanks for clarification

I know several source shows different result and thats why I said 1947 is also correct. My source was Car Spotter‘s Guide and Deezer Colletion

You can get the best Pontiac straight 8 engine model from Replicas Miniatures of Maryland. Kitchen Table reisn did also a Pontiac Staright 8 but the quality wasn't that good than the one from Norm.

I saw this car at the Deezer Collection in Miami in 2013. It is a 1948 Frazer Manhattan. Some said it is a 1947 but the '47 had only 2 bumper guards and not 4 like the '48 model. In principal those members had failed but I said thats ok because there are no other visible differences between a 1947 and 1948 model.
