Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car

Driverless car, using magnetic cables in the road.
Bendix Corporation was involved
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 09, 2019, 04:55:14 AM
No Bendix involved as far as I know. I can't say this car is driverless.


Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 09, 2019, 12:48:24 PM
Was the system anything to do with anti-theft device from a security co. that manufactures these kind of products?

What I've meant is that I just know that the system involves electronics and was inserted in this vehicle

One car is known
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 09, 2019, 03:35:11 PM
Was the other car also a three wheeled car or four?
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car

4 wheeler
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car

Was the four wheel car a conventional looking car or strange like the three wheeler?
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 09, 2019, 04:21:01 PM
It was a little strange at its time, but for today, totally normal

Would it be possible to see the four wheeled car,it may give us a clue to what this car is?hope you don't mind me asking.
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 14, 2019, 07:10:08 AM
It would be a giveaway. But I can tell that it was electric, two doors, not a coupe, 1961-62, and it's very well known (I think)
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 14, 2019, 11:02:56 AM
So far the only one that comes to mind is the 1961-62 Stuart electric car?
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 14, 2019, 11:16:44 AM
That's the one! Locked for you to find the three wheeler
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 14, 2019, 12:03:57 PM
No luck so far,but was it called Barry Stuarts electric three wheeler?
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 14, 2019, 12:47:04 PM
No, the car's name is related to the Stuart's facilities, where he built his electric car (not the name of the city)
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 14, 2019, 02:42:47 PM

Sorry, I misunderstood the info, so I misguided you. Let me correct it.
The name (one word) is related to electricity. (Not to some place) Xxxxxxxxx.
You already know when, where, who built the car. If you mixed them, you could find the car
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 15, 2019, 02:49:56 AM
That,s quite ok,would it be something like ,stuart,s electronic three wheeled car?

Is the word Luminant a good start?
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 15, 2019, 03:42:26 AM
No. More towards electricity itself
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car

Kilowatt?

The only other eight letter word I could find was megawatt?,I first thought of voltage but only seven letters.
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 15, 2019, 10:52:56 AM
Maybe I haven't been clear enough. The name it's a mixed word, that calls an electric transport. Well, Let me give you some guidance.

VolxTxxx

The first three is related to Voltage
The 4 last letters is some kind of transport, typical of some american city
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 15, 2019, 11:25:23 AM

Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 15, 2019, 11:31:48 AM
Volatrax missing the last letter
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 15, 2019, 11:36:27 AM
would that be -c?
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 15, 2019, 11:39:01 AM
Change the c to get the name completed
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 15, 2019, 11:47:29 AM
There,s two I can think of,but I,ll start with letter n?
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 15, 2019, 12:07:04 PM
Not N.

"The 4 last letters is some kind of transport, typical of some american city" and also some europeans capitol cities
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 15, 2019, 12:14:27 PM

Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car

yes
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 15, 2019, 12:37:10 PM
The only letter that would make is ,K?
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 15, 2019, 01:02:36 PM
Not K.
This kind of transport commonly seen at the famous US West Coast City and also at Milan, Rome, Zurich, Madrid, etc.
They called it Tra(x)ways, but the locals call it Tra(x). The (x) is the missing letter
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: richard cuyler on December 15, 2019, 01:12:39 PM
Tram?
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: kwgibbs on December 15, 2019, 01:41:32 PM
The letter M would have been my second choice.
Title: Re: OGB-296 Name this car
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 15, 2019, 01:51:30 PM
That's it! The car was called

Volatram built by Stuart Motors
