Ha! Now you know how the rest of us feel most of the time!

Here's one for ya! If nothing else, it may introduce you to a fascinating and relatively obscure carrosserie.

Otto Puzzell · September 27, 2006, 03:15:54 AM

Would that be a 1954 Jaguar Mk VII Cabriolet (II), s/n 721420-DN, built by Carrosserie Ghia Aigle?

porridgehead · September 27, 2006, 08:05:51 AM

Whoa!

Nicely done. Spot on.

I was searching for something else last night and stumbled upon the Ghia-Aigle website http://www.ghia-aigle.info/cars.htm and said to myself "Self, I forgot about the automobiles of Ghia-Aigle. I wonder if Karnutz is familiar with them."

Evidently, that would be a "Yes."

Otto Puzzell · September 27, 2006, 08:53:20 AM

That site is one of my favorites. I've posted some of their other works in various NTC threads in the last few years.

He gave us the serial number!

porridgehead · September 27, 2006, 11:47:34 PM

Yeah, well, he was just showing off at that point. Of course, any one of us would have done the same damn thing, now wouldn't we?

By the by, I've been staring at your avatar for three and a half hours non-stop. It's... nice. Yup. Nice. If somebody were to come up to me and whisper in my ear that I should dance around like a chicken, I daresay I would, it's that hypnotizing.

Well?

Otto Puzzell · November 02, 2006, 03:41:24 PM

I have a couple of hunches to play out. Stand by...

Otto Puzzell · November 03, 2006, 04:18:58 AM

I got nothin'.

Any clues?

The color is to throw you off of the scent.

Otto Puzzell · November 03, 2006, 09:10:56 AM

It worked!

I know I've seen this car before, but it'll take me some time.

Jagman · November 04, 2006, 01:09:03 PM

And, until he mentioned the Porsche engine, I hadn't noticed the exhaust pipes going forward and down - like a front engined Beetle or Porsche - very interesting use of the motor, was it front or rear drive?

The exhaust pipes?

Are we looking at the same car?

Jagman · November 04, 2006, 01:15:46 PM

Apparently not, I was replying to the Blue Argentinian car, where the heck was it?

Must have been a bunch of posts since it that didn't show up when I clicked "reply"......I'm working off the "replies since your last visit" link.

Since I've answered several in this manner, be prepared for even more out of sequence replies.........

Nice to see you! Reply to whatever you like, in whatever order.

Dubonnet/Curb Records Gurney Eagle Pontiac?

Tifosi · December 05, 2006, 03:48:56 AM

Looks like it could be one of the last AAR Eagles from Dan Gurney...the number 98 suggests Agajanian, as does the Curb Records logo on the wing. Dubonnet sponsored Gurney at Indy in 1984, but this car doesn't quite look like the Eagles that ran there in the early-mid '80's. I'm thinking the car is newer than that. No idea on the driver.

I'm intrigued and bewildered. I'll check some old yearbooks to make sure, but I don't remember ever seeing this car at Indy.

Dan
