How about a new round of guess that car?

[TheCracker]

Land Rover or Russian equiverlent?

 

[High-Test]

Ford GPW?

a DUKW?

Ford GPW?

a DUKW?

It can't be a DUKW, those things are huge! But, then again, I can't see the vehicle in the picture, so...

 

[mr_pushrod]

I'll try UAZ.

 

[Gordonfan24]

Is it a "Seep"?


By any chance...is it Chinese? I know the guys in it look Russian, but I was wondering...

 

[maniko]

Ford GPW?

a DUKW?

I think it's a Ford GPA (The GPW is the jeep, the GPA the amphibious)

 

[TwinTurboJay]

1995 MIata with a roof rack and a snorkel muffler for river crossings !

 

[gloup]

Whoops, sorry for being late, thats a 1950's Land Rover during an exhibition to the Polish Army...TheCracker won!

 

[stumpydino]

[Gordonfan24]

[stumpydino]

[gt3 drifter]

what is this car. its a bit of both but which one is it. this one is a bit more of a guess the maker coz I dont even know what it is but the maker.

 

[Gordonfan24]

^It's a Mercedes Benz^ Not sure what class, but it reminds me of en E500, but who would ruin one of those by doing that?

thatll do i suppose, its an alfa romeo 1600 gt junior

This is the car that I saw online. I recognized the red paint and the triangle on the fender/door and looked up Red Alfa Romeo, and eventually found this:

-But just this morning, I found the exact picture you used...Was this the web page?

 

[TsLeng]

ya, the yellow crap is a merc E-class. 2 generations behind the current model.

 

[stumpydino]

yup gordonfan24, i stumbled upon it, cant remember what it was i was looking for

I thought it was an E-class.

Anyway, is it my go?
If so...here's my pics:

I think that little rocket coming out of the hood is a Buick feature. I can't imagine Buick produced anything smaller then twice that size in that era though.

Try not to think about the Buicks too hard, cause it's not a Buick. And I agree!

 

[Emohawk]

Nash Rambler?
http://php.iupui.edu/~harrold/nash/50ram.html
This is a 4 seater, but it looks close as far as I can tell from that picture.

Edit: after finding better pictures, that doesn't seem to be it at all. I only thought of Nash first because they made the Metropolitan.

 

[Gordonfan24]

Sorry, but that's incorrect also.

I'll try to find more info on it to get some hints...

 

[Gordonfan24]

Here's some hints:
-The compant only lasted four years, 1947-1951
-The company was Canadian
-Here's a big one: All models from this company were hard-top convertibles
-Part of the fold-down top formed some of the rear deck lid
-It was rear-wheel drive
-It had ±40hp
-0-50mph = 17secs
-Fuel economy of a reported 35mpg
-It was sold at $995 (USD)

I think that'll do for now...

I may not know obscure cars, but I rock at google.

It's a playboy, made by the Playboy Motor Car Corporation. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the earlier Jordan Playboy, but you can imagine what a google image search for that turns up.
This doesn't say anything about it being Canadian though. AFAIK, the only Canadian car was the Bricklin SV-1, and it's sort of debateable.

**pause for finding something to respond with**

Huh, that's the same site I got all my info from...what are the odds?

Okay, your go. 👍 (Even though you never did actually say the name of the car. But I'll give it to you. )

AFAIK

What's that mean?

looks like you caught me in the middle of several edits, I did say the actuall name of the car eventually.

AFAIK= As far as I know

I guess so.

And, oh, that's what that means. Well, that's good to know.


And about it's Canadian-ship (?), I was going by the name of the site, and I figured it was Canadian, but I also saw the towns Buffalo, NY; and Cleveland, OH; so I don't know, but it doesn't matter, you got it anyway. I figured it would be another hint to work with.

First, I apologize for the double post, but I didn't want to edit a post I did 3 days ago just to add something that shows how long it's been...

Back to the post -
Congratulations, Emohawk, I think you've stumped everyone who's looked at this thread lately. I wanna say go ahead and post another pic, but I don't know the rules to the game...I would if I were you, though.

And what was that? I know it's built for snow, so it's probably Siberian or Icelandic or Canadian...but I looked all over Google, and couldn't find it at all.

Whoops. My basement flooded a little, so I've been offline and unable to keep track of this.
A little ironically, given my situation, this thing is NOT built for snow at all. It's amphibious . It's an Altkam Stalker, and that's about all I know about it.

Here's a new one then:

 

[Gordonfan24]

Man, you're good at this! I have no idea right off the top of my head, but I'm sure Google will become my new best friend...

 

[xcsti]

I don't know what it is, but it reminds me of a early 300z.

 

[puricele7e]

Yeah, me to But it would have been too obvious......
