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.

The solution for this quiz is a 1939-42 Ford Taunus G93A / 1948-52 Ford Taunus G73A. It is called Buckeltaunus in German or Hunchback-Taunus. I principal the pre and post war version were the same car. The in the picture is a 1950 G73A. Interesting to know is the fact that the first prewar Taunus bodies were assembled at VW in Wolfsburg and Karmann in Osnabrueck due to the lack of capacity and space at the Cologne plant. Ambi-Budd in Berlin was the original manufacturer of the body during pre war times. After long negotiations with the soviet military authorisations the tooling was sent to western Germany. After the war only Ford trucks wer manufactured in Cologne The correct answer were sent in by otherunicorn dw1603 Bucky Matt Bacon Richard Bartrop matthijsgrit Blunc DonW gbtr6 VW93 Congratulations

It is a bit quite on this quiz. Here a hint. The car had replaced a car that was named after a german low mountain range and it was build before and after the war nearly unchanged.

This time I was looking for a car that was only build three times. It was the attempt to revive an old British car manufacture named Allard Motor Company. Allrad was known in the '40 and '50 for the J2 and J2X. In 1992 they want to create a new road going car based on the Lexus LS400. The car was presented to Toyota in the hope that they would agreed to manufacture a small series of the Allrad P4. It didn't work out. I think it is impossible to modify a boring car into something different than a more boring car. The correct answer were sent in by: Bucky Brizio dw1603 otherunicorn DonW Congratulation

In the country of Wilhelm Tell there were a few company's thad had assembled Studebaker, Packard, Plymouth, Dodge, Vauxhall, DeSoto, Willys for the swiss market. The first ever Swiss-built concept car was the 1956 Soletta 750. It was also the first car that was designed and built in Switzerland after WW II. Only one was ever made, primarily to demonstrate a new type of automobile suspension system. The correct answer were sent in by: Bucky otherunicorn Brizio iamsuperdan matthijsgrit Congratulations, well done

I was looking for the 1988/89 Merkur Scorpio.The US derivative of the European Ford Scorpio/Granada. Merkur was a sub-brand from Lincoln-Mercury. Two Merkur models Sierra XR4ti and Scorpio) were sold by selected Lincon-Mercury dealers in the US and Canada. The Scorpio was build in Cologne /Germany. It was powered by a 2.9l V6 well known in the Ford Ranger, Bronco II and Aerostar. The Scorpio was a competitor of the BMW 5-Series, Audi 200, Mercedes-Benz 180, Volvo 740, Sterling 827 and Saab 9000. Following the 1989 model year, Lincoln-Mercury ended imports of the Scorpio (closing down the Merkur brand). Along with unstable pricing resulting in insufficient sales figures, continued sales of the model line would required a costly redesign to remain in compliance with American safety regulations From my own experience the Scorpio had a bigger interior with more leg and head room than a Mercedes Benz 180. The Scorpio was in my opinion the better car than a Mercedes Benz 180, but it was just a Ford here in Germany. The following members sent in the correct answer: dw1603 Brizio sjordan2 Matt Bacon Bucky gbtr6 matthijsgrit Thom Well done, congratulations
