A point will be yours if you identify this car:

Allemano · August 08, 2010, 08:46:14 AM

Wow!

diecastaussie · August 09, 2010, 06:59:22 AM

Is it Corvair based?

guido66 · August 09, 2010, 10:14:35 AM

Not Corvair based

diecastaussie · August 10, 2010, 07:56:30 AM

Looks very much like the Michelotti Beach Buggy

guido66 · August 10, 2010, 08:42:37 AM

No Michelotti relation as far as I know

guido66 · August 28, 2010, 09:01:30 AM

Experts?

als15 · August 29, 2010, 05:28:01 AM

American?

guido66 · August 29, 2010, 06:02:23 AM

Yes, it is American.

als15 · August 29, 2010, 11:59:54 AM

The stylist was Virgil Exner?

guido66 · August 30, 2010, 04:55:19 AM

My source doesn't mention the designer, only make and year. I guess it's worth a 2nd point if someone can prove who designed it

als15 · August 30, 2010, 02:51:18 PM

Ok. Chrysler based?

guido66 · August 30, 2010, 03:02:15 PM

Not Chrysler

mymokke · August 30, 2010, 09:04:47 PM

Looks to me like a Dodge A100 from the early 60s cut-up and dressed up alla the surrey toped Jolli of Fiat fame.

diecastaussie · August 31, 2010, 02:57:49 AM

Is it Ford based?

guido66 · August 31, 2010, 10:55:58 AM

Not a Dodge or a Ford

Oguerrerob · September 03, 2010, 06:51:18 AM

Resorter by Surrey design CJ Jeep plattform based. Early 60's

guido66 · September 03, 2010, 04:10:35 PM

You must have the same source as me, although my understanding of the text is a little different. I don't think there was such a thing as a company called Surrey design.

This one is indeed the Resorter, but I doubt if it was ever built. The other similar vehicle is the Surrey, which was actually built on the CJ-platform. Anyway, you've identified the car, so the point is yours
