Here's a nice one. Who built it, where, what was its donor? For one point

250gto · October 18, 2009, 08:56:12 AM

It looks like an early Allard, so is there any connection there?

pnegyesi · October 18, 2009, 09:26:58 AM

Allard and this one raced against each other. That is the only connection.

Tackitt · October 18, 2009, 01:59:46 PM

It is cool looking. A Kurtis perhaps?

pnegyesi · October 18, 2009, 02:23:05 PM

Not a Kurtis, much more obscure

stovebolt special ?

pnegyesi · October 18, 2009, 03:58:55 PM

Yes, a Special. Not a Stovebolt though

Alta-based. Ice racing in Canada.

?

pnegyesi · October 19, 2009, 11:16:23 PM

Not Alta-based and it's not specifically designed for ice racing

pnegyesi · October 26, 2009, 10:19:02 AM

Well, I am sure our well-informed professionals will quickly identify this one!

Wallis?

pnegyesi · October 26, 2009, 10:36:54 AM

As in Hungarian super-rich dealer-group, responsible for Saab, Opel, Citroen and other dealerships

?

BTW, it is not a Wallis

A clue may be needed here. It is from USA, powered by a US-made engine

faksta · November 01, 2009, 03:13:27 PM

Oh..I was almost sure it is Scandinavian... Should be a small displacement engine then?

pnegyesi · November 01, 2009, 03:58:01 PM

Nope, it is not a small displacement engine

pnegyesi · November 27, 2009, 01:19:02 PM

Clue: who founded Detroit?

Allemano · November 27, 2009, 01:21:34 PM

a Cadillac

pnegyesi · November 27, 2009, 02:09:35 PM

Yes, it is Cadillac-engined

pnegyesi · December 19, 2009, 11:26:26 AM

This one goes to the Black Hole

Otto Puzzell · December 20, 2009, 09:24:53 AM

Did it start out as an Alta?

pnegyesi · December 20, 2009, 11:35:48 AM

No, my source doesn't say anything about Alta-connection

pnegyesi · February 04, 2010, 10:03:23 PM

C'mon, it ain't so hard - if you know where to look. I took this picture from an English-language, well-known forum...

faksta · February 05, 2010, 02:06:55 AM

Now that was enough

Is it a Meyer Cadillac Special?

pnegyesi · February 05, 2010, 02:51:35 PM

Yes, it is
