Puzzle #114 - Solved! Ford Anglia / T33 Wing Tank / Chevy Special

[Stephen M]

Ah, but the Maryland MasterMind left out the most important information:




WHY?    ;D

That part is still a mystery.  ??? I can only assume a "Why not?"-type explanation, and yet I can think of dozens of reasons why not.  :D

Here you are some more info:
The car is pictured in Wethersfield, England and was made by U.S. Air Force Officer Lt. Col. Edward Risher starting from an Anglia chassis with a Chevrolet hood, a rear windshield from an american Ford and Austin Bantam wheels. The wing tanks come from a T-33 jet trainer.

AAARGH! I KNEW IT! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POST THAT! EXACTLY THAT! EXACTLY! WHY OH WHY OH WHY OHWHYWHYWHYWHY!!!!!!

OH... wait.

Whoops.

Wrong puzzle.

Nevermind.






(Seriously. I agonized over that one for ages. I kept picking at it and never got anywhere. I finally decided it was like picking at a scab that was on someone else. Or something else. Like a rock. A rock buried under a rotten log. Which was located in a vernal swamp in the mountains of Chile somewhere in the vicinity of  El Arpa. Having never been there and knowing nothing about El Arpa, I decided that I should treat this particular scab in the way I know best. So I gave up.)

I don't know much about this car...but I found a picture with a caption that seems to be coming from a magazine, so I believe what it says till different proves.  Can you tell me what's based on and how is it called?

Fiat 500 based Nardi 'Twin Boom' look alike

[Hiawatha]

Based on a Ford Anglia (not the 105E) with body made with wing tanks from a T-33 jet trainer, probably made in 1958.

It's a repost.  ;)

Another repost...my nightmeres!  Hiawatha, you can get the point as well if you add the nickname reported on the caption, as it was not told by the previous quizzer.

[Hiawatha]

Goofy car?

[targhediferro]

That's all I have.  A point for you.
I leave this quiz here for a while, so that anyone could add further informations.

Fantastic, we have a builder. Now I can move it and should be merged.
