You must solve it

Before it sits in here too long
You must solve it

No penalty for guessing wrong
You must solve it

Now solve it
Or solve eight
Add 'em up
It's fate
Go forward

Its not too late
To solve it
Solve it good

Ehhxekt - a minor typo in your last reply.

All - the general theme of this puzzle should by now be apparent. Further solutions should now be relatively straightforward.

#5 – Chevrolet Corvette XP-755 Mako Shark 1961 ?
(but the point should be his!)
Title: Re: IPID
Post by: Otto Puzzell on February 02, 2010, 04:13:48 AM
Fair enough.

Per General Motors:

QuoteLater known as the 'Mako Shark I,' the Corvette Shark of 1961 was the brainchild of Bill Mitchell. Legend surrounds the origin of the car, including Mitchell's flash of inspiration after catching a shark while deep-sea fishing. The Shark looked like a real shark, with a mouth, gills and a shark-like paint scheme that gradated from blue/gray on the top to silver/white on the bottom (along the rocker panels). Memorable features include a sharp, menacing 'nose' and four-into-two side pipes. The Shark, along with the Stingray Racer, heavily influenced the body design of the second generation of Corvettes.

I don't believe 120 km/h is an unusual limit for a classic German speedometer....

next guess: Italo-American?

No Dual Ghia, but a Chrysler product anyway?
Title: Re: IPID

as it has more than 27.000 miles on the clock I presume it's not a concept, but a production car.

Mmmmh...
Vignale body on an American chassis from 1950 till 1955, not a Cunningham, a Fina-Sport or a Frick Special....not a Nardi (it's not American)...there are only 3 cars left, and no-one of them seems to match: a Cadillac Coupe from 1954-55, a Chrysler Imperial from 1955 and a Packard.
Should I look for one of these 3?
