The car that I was looking for was the 1959 - 1962 Borgward P100 called Grosser Borgward. The car was The First one with an air suspension in Germany. It compete with the Mercedes Benz 220S. After the bankcupcy of Borgward in 1961 the the P100 Production line was sold to Impulsa Mexicana Automotoriz S.A. in Mexico. But they run out of money. In 1966 a new company called FANASA build it as „230“ and „230 Pullman“. Production ends in 1970 again due to financial issue.

This time I was looking for a car that is available as a model 1/25 from amt and Revell but wait available from these companies? No the base of the car in question is available as a kit from amt and Revell. The car that i'm looking for is a 1957 Meteor Rideau 500 from Canada. Meteor was a subsidiary of Ford in Canada. Meteor was a marque that was established in Canada in 1949 to provide Canadian buyers a car that was cheaper that a regular Ford that was sold in Canada. 1961 the name Meteor was dropped due to the fact that the Meteor name was used by Mercury.

Come on don't give up. This one is easier than last week -
I hope that I had picked an easier car than last week. The response showed me that I wasn't wrong with this car. Although the car is missing is bumpers and had some rallye markings on it it can be identified as a 1971 - 1975 Fiat 128 3P Berlinetta. The 3P is a hatchback with a big rear door while the Coupe that a simple tunk lid and a different style of the C-pillar.

Yes it is ugly. Let me give you a hint. It was build in country that had a very restictive policy to protect their own automotive industry in the 60- 80's. The car is based on a car that runs and runs and runs.......... and was build over over 21m times. Come on guys -
Well I think had gone to far with this ugly looking car. It is a Brasilian 1970 - 1980 Polauto Pagus. It is based on a VW Air cooled chassis.. i promise to get a car that is easier to identify next time ?

Here a comparision of turned aluminium rims. The rim in the middle of the pictures is from Doug Wagner from Keystone Aluminum Model Miniatures. He is selling is stuff via Facebook. They are currently fro sale for 10$ per piece. The other rims are from Michael Cherry from MCA. . The left one is the American ALCO rim, while the right one is the European ALCOA rim. YOu have to ask Michael for the actual price All shown rims are excellent in their quality and look. The Keystone rims coms with hubs. While the Michel Cherry rims comes with screws and nuts. I can't say which one are better, but I like the look of the Keystone rims because the look like real rims.
