stuny Posted March 5, 2015 Share #7282 Posted March 5, 2015 Wonderful photos and the art deco details are entrancing (unless you're like my friend Charlie who refers to the style as "art drecko."). The straight on rear shot and the steering wheel spokes are priceless art deco. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnK Posted March 5, 2015 Share #7283 Posted March 5, 2015 Sorry to break the protocol (first & last time) but Stuart, when I saw couple of months back your image of the same car you shot, I have been wanting to post it somehow, so if u kind folks allow me to post my image as I was given way much more room than Stuart was & that made all the difference. Thank you gentlemen appreciate it in advance. Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted March 5, 2015 Share #7284 Posted March 5, 2015 That's superb. They only made 70 of them, and one was destroyed when James Dean died in his. Three years ago one sold at the Amelia Island auction for US$4.3 million. Here are 2 more views of the same car: Welcome, dear visitor!

ShawnK Posted March 5, 2015 Share #7285 Posted March 5, 2015 I just love that car. The look, style, that elusive je ne sais quoi is amazing !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 5, 2015 Share #7286 Posted March 5, 2015 I most certainly agree. And in person, as you no doubt noticed, its diminutive size adds to its appeal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted March 5, 2015 Share #7287 Posted March 5, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) The 550 is a lovely car but I like the 718-RSK even more. The Scarab is a bit like a later version of the Burney Streamliner. It used either Lycoming, Beverley or Armstrong straight engines. Two of these amazing cars have survived.

wlaidlaw Posted March 5, 2015 Share #7291 Posted March 5, 2015 Well its registration plate is FRJ 4738 and it has Minilite wheels. I don't think it is an Abarth as it does not have the scorpion badge on the front. I also am not sure about the date it could be any year between 57 and 75. I am afraid there is a picture of it on L'Arte Del Gelato's website Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted March 6, 2015 Share #7295 Posted March 6, 2015 Yes, but.... A bit more detail, please. Well... looks like the Cinquecento "transporter" version which (at least, in Italy) was called "Giardiniera" ("Gardener") , an , though based on standard 500, had the engine rotated 90° so that the rear space was flat and usable (for the lovers of small racing cars, this engine was mounted on small single seater cars known as "Formula Monza" which had a championship for thei own years and years ago) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 6, 2015 Share #7296 Posted March 6, 2015 Luigi - Interesting, but not what I was looking for. Think special tuning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted March 6, 2015 Share #7297 Posted March 6, 2015 Stuart, Could it be the Steyr Puch 650SS version? As a 17 year old, I lusted after one of those. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Tricky hipotesis, Wilson... but it looks a bit strange to me because the picture has an Italian writing... and the (nice !) Steyr Puchs were not imported in my Country (unless... Stuart has caught a New Yorker "little Italy" item... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steyr Puchs were not imported in my Country (unless... Stuart has caught a New Yorker "little Italy" item... ) Luigi, There are also rare (very) tuned 500's by Nardi, Osca and Stanguellini plus a few with Fanalone bodies but I don't see those having ended up as an ice cream rolling advert in New York. Wilson PS I have seen one of Stanguellini 500 based engines, enlarged to 750 and with a beautifully engineered twin overhead cam conversion head in an amazing streamline car about 75cm high.

stuny Posted March 7, 2015 Share #7300 Posted March 7, 2015 I think I'll give it to Wilson for is 500 answer a while back. This one is an Abarth parked near Chelsea markets in the Chelsea section of Manhattan, where the Gelato maker has an outlet. Welcome, dear visitor!
