Buick?

There are a few Buick parts. A few.

Joao Gois · « **Reply #4 on:** November 14, 2008, 04:28:28 AM »

Production car or one-off/concept?

Ray B. · « **Reply #5 on:** November 14, 2008, 04:39:58 AM »

I wouldn't call it a concept, although there's been some thinking applied to tis project. If you look carefully at the picture you will notice an obvious reason why it's no concept. So, purely a one-off.

Too ordinary?

Ray B. · « **Reply #7 on:** November 14, 2008, 04:54:12 AM »

No, a detail that doesn't fit. But the point is: it's not a concept-car.

Nope. And, as said before, a one-off.

Why this question ??
Related to many, but not to Plymouth.

I think this is the Cramer Comet, built by Tom Cramer in the 1950s, made from lots of bits of lots of cars from that era, however the engine is an Allison aircraft engine from a P-51 Mustang!
I would imagine it is fairly brisk.

Ray B. · « **Reply #14 on:** December 16, 2008, 03:02:38 AM »

Brisk is hardly the word: 1350 hp!
I am away until Friday. I'll award you your point and move this puzzle when back.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** December 16, 2008, 04:27:16 AM »

I want one!

Joao Gois · « **Reply #16 on:** December 16, 2008, 05:33:18 AM »

I'd prefer the Jameson Mk II but this would be just fine...

Any more pics??

Ray B. · « **Reply #17 on:** December 16, 2008, 09:38:18 AM »

Not home now - Post them this weekend.
Given the point to Neilshouse, one more and he makes 100.
Moved to solved.

...but if you Google, you find the same 7 pics!

Joao Gois · « **Reply #19 on:** December 16, 2008, 11:12:29 AM »

That's what I was doing! Just hadn't got to those b&w frame pics, but the rest is from Pebble Beach, right?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #20 on:** December 16, 2008, 11:42:39 AM »

I really do not know, but look at the chromes, you can see other cars on display and a white building...probably you're right, even if the grass seems not so Pebblishly!

Joao Gois · « **Reply #21 on:** December 16, 2008, 11:54:14 AM »

Well, the sky and the rest of the background must've been Photoshopped...

Damn, I love airplane-enguned cars...

Ray B. · « **Reply #22 on:** December 21, 2008, 05:04:27 PM »
