Still searching for that elusive balance between too easy & too hard...

Tell me what it is for a point!

OK, no activity on this one... time to move to Experts.

Looks like the model for the Husqvarna 1943

[ftg3plus4]

It looks like it 'cause it is!  ;D

BTW, has anyone ever come across a photograph of the actual car? And where would the doors have been on this thing?

P.S.: I was mildly surprised that this didn't show up in the "When Bikers Make Cars" puzzle some time back.

I have a book about Swedish cars, but as i doesn´t speak Swedish I don´t know if the car in the same page is the same one or another prototype, but it´s a little diferent and the picture is very bad (has some people in front of the car). I´ll try ASAP to scan or photo the book page.

There's a source on the internet where this car is shown. As far as I understand it remained a scale model

[Paul Jaray]

I think the picture of this puzzle comes from that source...it's the same pic you can find there, but in BW.

As far as I understand it remained a scale model

My understanding is that the car was built in 1943 but was destroyed in the '50s, and the scale model is all that's left.

[Allemano]

Correct...

[jotage21]

the real car

[Otto Puzzell]

It was built by the mob? Or had they just stolen the car?  ;D

Very cool pic, PK - thanks!

[ftg3plus4]

Doesn't quite look like the model, but it does explain why the model has no doors.

Thanks for posting the pic!
