This one is a 1961 Cadillac Jacqueline by Pininfarina. This car debuted at Paris Salon in 1961 and it was named after First Lady Jacqueline Kenndy. The only stock Cadillac itemes thta were unchaged were the 1960 rims, dashboard andthe steering wheel. The Jacqueline wore a traditional Cadillac crest on its hood, minus one element: the broad vee that had come to stand for the division's trademark V-8 engines. Because it was a pushcar without engine. In 1996 a 1960 Cadillac Eldorada Biaritz spent its engine to make Jacquline now a running car. Picture were taken at the 2012 Schloss Dyck Classic.

This ist the last quiz for 2020. This year was strange. We still have a pandemic, a country that will we leave a union, a country that had an election and a great group of modeller and participant of the quiz that I did in 2020. I hope that 2021 will be different from 2020. So please sent a PM with Year, Make and Type. Deadline will be (Deadline Jan. 3, 2021 0:00 CET)

This time I was looking for an Italian car a 1964-1970 Autobianchi Primula. The Primula was a prototype for Fiat's rack and pinion steering and is widely known for its innovative Dante Giacosa-designed front-wheel drive, transverse engine layout — that would be later popularized by the Fiat 128 to ultimately become an industry-standard front drive layout.

A bit more progress. I had added the auxiliary transmissions and the air tank. Next will be the routing of the air lines from and to the air tanks. I also mad a second pintle hook with frame

The car for this weeks quiz was provide by Matt Bacon. Thanks Matt Please sent as usual a PM with Year, Make and Type.

So here is the solution of this weeks quiz. This car is a 1971 - 1975 Monica 560. Between 1972 and 194 about 40 cars were build. It was intend to be the succssor of the Facel Vega HK500 the last french build luxury sedan. The design combines stying ideas from A Maserati Indy/ Lotus Elan, Aston Martin DBS, Jaguar Mk II and the the american Coke Bottle design. It has named after the wife of Jean Tastevin, a graduate engineer of the École centrale de Paris.

Got to today the cable car. Lots of wood and pewter parts and it is huge. Before I start it I'll have to finish the Oshkosh and the trial.

Yes I got the last 2 of them I think. I had a look for a locomotive as a load. They are way too expensive $450 plus. Now a San Francisco Cable car from Ocre will be the load. I got it for a good price.

It will get a modular trailer unit from KFS. I'm thinking about an old locomotive as a load

Some more progress on my OShkosh.

It seems that this one is not an easy one as DonW said. This car was powered by a 5.60l Chrysler LA V8 engine and the time considered to be by many automobile aficionados a magnificent F...... luxury GT.

After the box design from last week I want to know Year, Make and Type of this sporty looking car.

The solution of autoquiz 501 is: 1968 - 1971  Kalmar-DAF or Torjven as it was called in Sweden. This viehicle was the result of a request of the Swedish Post. They were looking for a car to deliver mail. It is based on a DAF 44, while the protoype was based on the DAF 33. A total of 2170 cehicle were build. Most of them fro Swedish Postal Service. The car in the picture was used by the Netherlöands Postal Service. The correct answer had sent matthijsgrit otherunicorn GeeBee dw1603 ChrisR Congratulations

It seems it is too tough. So one last hint. It was build in the time where the VW Type 147 Fridolin was build.

It seems that this one isn't easy. So let me give you a hint. It is special designed for mail delivery and it can drive in the same speeed forward and backwards. So that should be enough for a hint.

Here is the new quiz for this week. As usual sent a PM with Year, Make and Type.

1969 Thomassima III a one-off son of Ferrari Deisgner was Tom Meade. The donor car was a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina Coupé (chassis number 1065GT) powered by a 3L V12 engine. The gearbox was replaced with a 5-speed ZF and the brakes were upgradedThe bodywork was altered dramatically, even further than the earlier "Thomassima Zero", resulting in an extremely low, muscular, front-engined coupe featuring gullwings, twisted exhausts on both sides and centerlock wheels. Interiors were lavish, with a steel-casted steering wheel. Meade claimed to have put a particular emphasis into the finish. You can get a scale replica from CMK (1:18) or Hotwheels The correct answer were sent in by draggon Matt BAcon Thom gbtr6 Pete J. Congratulation
