a.j.z Posted March 31, 2023 Share #19444  Posted March 31, 2023 As Ronald‘s very precise hint apparently was not enough, here is a full picture of the interior. The car is pretty rare (production of around 400).  Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

wlaidlaw Posted March 31, 2023 Share #19445  Posted March 31, 2023 One might almost think the designer of this car had to be a Madman. 😀 Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.j.z Posted April 1, 2023 Share #19447  Posted April 1, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Only around 400 have been produced.  btw: I was not asking for the designer (not one of the usual suspects although Ronald and Wilson of course know him 😉), so do not get distracted by this.

stuny Posted April 1, 2023 Share #19448 Â Posted April 1, 2023 I was a about to guess Muntz Jet (early 1950s) from Madman Muntz, but Andreas' last comment makes me doubt that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted April 1, 2023 Share #19450  Posted April 1, 2023 I believe the 400 number was what Muntz hoped to sell but the true number of manufactured and sold cars is probably less than 200. Still he did a lot better than the original designer Kurtis Kraft did, who may have sold as few as 17 of the Kurtis Sports Cars, from which the Muntz derives. Kurtis Kraft did much better with his midget and Indy cars and the road racing 2 seat version of his Indy roadsters the 500S, which looks like a shark playing a chromed mouth organ. Wilson  2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted April 3, 2023 Share #19456  Posted April 3, 2023 La Salle 350 Convertible Coupe, production started in 1934 but I‘d have to see the bumbers to tell if it is an early one. From 1935 onwards they changed the bumbers design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted April 3, 2023 Share #19458  Posted April 3, 2023 Rona!d got the car, and Wilson got the song. the car is at the Peterson Museum in Los Angeles, and the song was used in the opening credits of All In The Family. You turn Rona!d.

Rona!d Posted April 3, 2023 Share #19459 Â Posted April 3, 2023 Stu do you know the year made? Given the "bi-plane" bumbers design it should be a 1934 car (1st year). They changed them in 1935 into a less fragile plain blade design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
