John Z. Goriup Posted September 15, 2019 Share #12565  Posted September 15, 2019 Not an A3, which was Giotto Bizzarrini's mainline product while he was in business as a car maker - the car wer're trying to identify was one of a run of three open two seater Sport / Racing cars. Yet another hint photo.

John Z. Goriup Posted September 16, 2019 Share #12567  Posted September 16, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) 9 hours ago, lykaman said: P538 Racer Correct, lykaman, a P 538 is indeed what it is. The full name for this particular car is ( '66 ) Bizzarrini P 538 Catarsi Barchetta. The images are from the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours, where Bizzarrini was one of the feautured marques. Three of these were built by Bizzarrini,( a fourth an fifth were subsequently created as 'continuation' models ) and as with his Coupes, they were all powered by modified Chevrolet V-8 motors, but this car had a severe testing crash in late '65 while being sorted for the 24 hours of LeMans, and while it was back at the factory to be repaired was purchased 'as is' by an American racing enthusiast who wanted Bizzarrini to build him an exclusive  "all Bizzarrini" car. Consequently, the rear frame was modifyed to accept the then new Lamborghini 4-liter V-12 motor, which was also a Bizzarrini design and the car was duly entered and driven in that year's Lemans endurance event but DNFd due to mistakes in the posts. All in all, a beautiful, fast and elegant excercise by one of the legends of Italian car design, Welcome, dear visitor!

hektor Posted September 17, 2019 Share #12572  Posted September 17, 2019 Dear Stu., I am not able to confirm or not. I posted the shot to find out what make of car it is. Many thanks, Hector Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted September 18, 2019 Share #12573  Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Forgive me for butting in, but to be precise about it, that's a '59 Buick Invicta 2-door hardtop that's been mildly 'customized in the front / grill area ,and it appears the badge / hood ornament has also been removed.

hektor Posted September 18, 2019 Share #12574  Posted September 18, 2019 Thank-you John. These and similar cars were never imported to Australia at the time as all cars had to be right-hand drive. Since that law has been relaxed, a number are now being brought in, but those of us brought up on European cars have no idea about American cars.

stuny Posted September 18, 2019 Share #12575  Posted September 18, 2019 Definitely a Buick. The Invicta is a lower priced full size Buick. It had three faux portholes vs. four on the front fenders (wings) of the costlier models. Buick was one of five lines of General Motors passenger cars (in increasing cost Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile & Cadillac).  All five lines shared most parts other than sheet metal and badges. Pontiac and Oldsmobile are no longer with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
