The correct reaction would have been to get their staff to do a drugs test on the designer when he next arrived at work. Chrysler at least had a reasonable excuse for the Prowler, in that it was a relatively low risk/low cost trial for their new aluminium chassis architecture but GM had no excuses for this. They did not even reach 25,000 sales across both years, showing that the US public had better taste than the GM management. The rally organisers on Sunday, tried to hide it off in a corner. Andy - your turn. Wilson  Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted October 9, 2022 Share #18582  Posted October 9, 2022 The AC 428 design has definite echos of the Maserati Mistrale convertible. My memory from the period is that Motor Magazine gave it a somewhat lukewarm write up. The Ford 428 FE series engine was a bit of a crude lump and had little in common with the Holman and Moody 427 engines used in the Mark III 427 Cobras, which are hand built engines, in spite of AC's attempts to imply otherwise. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.j.z Posted October 12, 2022 Share #18592  Posted October 12, 2022 Mercedes-Benz /8 (Strich-Acht) W115 Kombi, but this does look like some conversion (Miesen?). The original crop, was pretty distracting as it looks like a far smaller car.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasstellwag Posted October 12, 2022 Share #18595 Â Posted October 12, 2022 it looks a bit like a W123, but I think it is a modificated S class, from the 116 series Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted October 12, 2022 Share #18596 Â Posted October 12, 2022 Not a W 123 or 124. W 116 looks better. Which one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But which W116? Model and coachbuilder please. It can be seen in the picture, hence my super wide crop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted October 13, 2022 Share #18600  Posted October 13, 2022 Anyone else an idea? Model and coachbuilder. Not that many makers, should be easy to find the right one. "Modified S-class" is too vague for me because that was obvious in any case judged by the wide crop shown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
