Surely something so homely came from an Eastern block country - Czechoslovakia?
Not Czech.
Yeah, but eastern bloc, nonetheless, like Uzbekistan or Lithuania or something.
Hey, howzzabout good ol', fun loving East Germany?
Hungry maybe?
Not now. Maybe later...... ;)
Oh, you meant HUNGARY, home of Hungarian goulash and other culinary delights? Well, why didnja SAY so? :hah:
Not built in East Germany, Uzbekistan, Lithuania or Hungary.
Poland?
Dan
No.
Eastern or Western Europe?

US-american.
Judging by the Ozzie & Harriet hairstyles on the ladies, its from the late '40s or early '50s and has a radio that is permanently tuned to American Bandstand! Not only that, it has a stablemate in the garage and they each park separately in garage stalls that are exactly identical in dimensions to god ol' American twin beds! ;D
The only car of the era I recall with those puny wheels and tires was a Crossley. So that's my guess. As to a model, I would posit that such a design as this would be filed under "R" for Regretable! :hah:
Not a Crosley
ca 1948 Airway sedan, aluminium body, rear-mounted 10hp engine
That is correct.
Well done! ;D

1948 Airway, built by T.P. Hall Engeneering, San Diego, Ca. It had an air-cooled, rear-mounted 10 hp engine of the make 'Onan' (sic) and could reach 50 mph.
You amaze me again, as this doesn't come from the internet.
Hall is the creator of another car which you can find on Autopuzzles. Do you know what it is? It will be worth another point.
Otto Puzzell has warned me that this car already had been a puzzle here, solved long ago.
My mistake: I was too self-confident and didn't check. He will merge them in due time.
This won't keep Dynamike from receiving is point. And my second question still holds: its maker built another car, also a solved Autopuzzle. One point to whoever tells us which.
T. P. Hall has made the Convair Flying Car 118 in 1947.
Right. Points added to both of you.
For the other creation of Ted Hall, see: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=3932.0

Further reading suggests this was the aluminum prototype. The 'production' Airway, with a plastic and aluminum body, became a fastback. its rounded shape probably made it easier to pull it from the mold.

I have it labeled as an "Airway Vicinity." That's the way it was described in a 1948 write-up in Popular Mechanics.
