carsntrucks4you Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 (edited) Now it is time to give you the answer on autoquiz #624 1964 -1967 DKW-Vemag Fissore (Portuguese) Built in Brazil as the top model range of DRKW-Vemag. The two door body was designed by the Italian Carozzeria Fissore. The Fissore is technical based on the DKW-Vemag Belcar, which means it has a 3 cylinder two stroke engine and the chassis from the Belcar. It was built parallel to the Belcar until 1967 until VW do Brazil take over DKW-Vemag. Around 2500 cars were build. The outdated two stroke engine prohibited a market success.

DonW Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Fascinating, it looks so familiar and I can see a few styling cues but I still can't find it. I'm looking forward to finding out! I like it😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonW Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Spot on, Pat - it does look like a classic Photoshop, the front half of one car and the back half of another. But I've no doubt it is real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsntrucks4you Posted Thursday at 05:58 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 05:58 AM (edited) Since I got in to official retirement on Sunday I have more stuff to do than I thought🤣. I simply forgot to finish this quiz on Monday. Therefore 'll give you a hint for this one. The car had a two stroke engine and it was build in the southern hemisphere.

Ace-Garageguy Posted Sunday at 04:50 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:50 PM Nice looking little car (if kinda bland), very Italianesque, which made ID as something from South America more challenging. Fissore is not among the most well known European design houses in the States, but they did some notable cars, among them the DeTomaso Vallelunga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrozzeria_Fissore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted Sunday at 06:47 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:47 PM I thought it was Italian -- has something of a Lancia Fulvia or Alfa about it -- but no dice there. Then knowing how these things go, I started looking at legacy German car companies, and found the wheels on a DKW/Auto Union roadster. And then it was "just" finding a DKW-adjacent car bodied by a Carrozzierie Italiani... best, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a great challenge - I did think DKW at one point (for the rear 2-stroke engine) - as well as Lancia (for the front end) but credit to those who got this one. Just shows that for me some of the best quizzes are the ones I don't know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
