carsntrucks4you Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) A new week had started and it is time for a new quiz. As usual sent a PM with Year, Make and Type. Edited April 29, 2019 by carsntrucks4you
MrObsessive Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 I think I got this one. You'll be SHOCKED when you see the manufacturer. I've never seen one of these in 3D in the states, but remember seeing it elsewhere.
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 One thing I really enjoy about the Autoquiz series is the opportunity to research cars I've never seen or only recognize vaguely. In trying to pin down exactly what year this thing was, I even stumbled across a company that specializes in NOS parts for them. Who woulda thunk it. Fascinating little car. I had no idea of it's lineage.
Jantrix Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 What a mash up of design. The body says, 70's, the bumpers say 60's, the grill/headlights says 50's. Yeesh.

The styling is by a well-known industrial designer. If you run across his name in your research, do an image search under him. Lots of wild stuff, not all of it really "pretty", but definitely distinctive.

I’ve looked but not found any reference to him so far.
