The love child of a BMW 6 series and an AMC Ambassador.

Otto Puzzell · January 25, 2007, 07:48:37 AM

Nope.

Nope.

Oh, but I insist.

Otto Puzzell · January 25, 2007, 01:16:54 PM

Regardless, the answer is 'no'.

It might not be the answer to your puzzle, granted, but dammit, that IS the bastard love child of an '80's BMW 6 series and a '70's AMC Ambassador.

No.

It is the work of a much-respected Italian design house and a well-known high-volume automotive manufacturer.

And their stylists owned AMC and BMW's.

Wrong again.

Perhaps you should stick to the rookie thread?

Don't make me pull over this autopuzzle and

Did you actually look at that car?

Otto Puzzell · January 26, 2007, 01:09:25 PM

Yes.

I don't find it as repugnant as you apparently do. In general shape, the grill is similar to an early '70's AMC Ambassador. I do not see the BMW resemblance at all.

Is it maybe an Opel concept? Looks a bit like a Bitter.

Otto Puzzell · January 26, 2007, 03:04:26 PM

Not an Opel or Bitter

It is the US-american short-lived Momo Mk. 1, introduced in 1971. Frua did the body design and Stanguellini made the chassis. The engine was a 5.7 litre Chevrolet V8 with 350 bhp, fed through either a 5-speed ZF or a 3-speed automatic transmission.
