Greenhouse#1: after scrolling almost ALL of Lost America's flickr foto stream I've finally found the 1959 Buick on their own page....
Very nice pics, though!

Is number 10 a Jensen? (Maybe a 541?)
Title: Re: The Third Greenhouse Effect
Post by: Otto Puzzell on May 25, 2009, 06:49:47 AM
Hmmm....

The more I try to find another picture to backup the ID of car 10 per the place where I found it, the more I think it may have been misidentified.
Title: Re: The Third Greenhouse Effect
Post by: Allemano on May 25, 2009, 06:57:54 AM
misidentified by us or by the man who originally post it?

Post by: Otto Puzzell on May 25, 2009, 07:05:16 AM
No worries - found a confirming pic from a a reliable source.  :)

Please, keep at it, lads!

Unique?
Title: Re: The Third Greenhouse Effect
Post by: Otto Puzzell on May 25, 2009, 08:16:07 AM
As in one-off? No.

A handful of these were built. It's a more aerodynamic greenhouse from a third party, attached to a production car with a (normally) none-too-slippery removable hardtop.

Austin Healey?

Sebring Spridget by Williams & Pritchard?
Title: Re: The Third Greenhouse Effect

Not one of those, nor any MG (A-H being eliminated already).
Title: Re: The Third Greenhouse Effect
Post by: Allemano on May 26, 2009, 06:21:33 AM
It has a roll cage so it might be a powerful car. Does the base car have a big engine? (6cyl. or more?) ,
Title: Re: The Third Greenhouse Effect
Post by: Allemano on May 26, 2009, 07:02:36 AM
It resembles a little the light weight fixed-head hardtops for Jaguar E-Types. Is Jaguar the right trace?
Title: Re: The Third Greenhouse Effect
Post by: Otto Puzzell on May 26, 2009, 10:37:48 AM
No, not a Jag.
