December 27, 200619 yr Just googled real quick and came up with this: Yamaha OX99-11 Reminds me of a pretty bad ripoff of a McLaren F1
December 27, 200619 yr Aurora by Oldsmobile LaSalle is to ---> Buick as Viking is to ---> Oldsmobile. Dude... it's LaSalle to Cadillac, not Buick. Buick's companion is Marquette.
December 29, 200619 yr For the record: LaSalle was meant to bridge the ever growing gap between Buick and Cadillac. LaSalles (esp. V12s) are embraced by many Cadillac collector clubs... so you;re right in that sense but it's not a rebadge job of either Brand as much as a hybrid of sorts IMO. Marquette would have been a better comparisoon though, you're right. QUATTRO, Audi rally car
December 29, 200619 yr While it could cover the next two letters, I'll just claim "R". Rapier, Sunbeam Rapier.
December 29, 200619 yr TEMPLAR, 1920 That Maserati Mistral is gross... ugliest car in the form of a Gran Turismo I can recall seeing in a long time... Rapier, Sunbeam Rapier. & is this thing a hardtop?
December 29, 200619 yr & is this thing a hardtop?I don't remember if the Rapier is a hardtop (no b-pillar). (I'm pushing the limits a bit with this one, but I always loved these cars) American Underslung.
December 31, 200619 yr No V-12 LaSalles, Sixty8; only 8s. Wisconsin Motor Truck Works, Baraboo WI, 1912-1926
December 31, 200619 yr Zimmerman Manufacturing Company, Auburn, IN, 1912-1915 wow, never heard of them before?
December 31, 200619 yr Normally I would question you but I could have SWORN there were a few v12 "one offs", I'm sure you're right though.
December 31, 200619 yr Sixty8: One-offs are always a possibility, but I've never heard tell and I strongly doubt it. LaS used V-8s and I-8s in regular production. Capriceman: there are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of defunct automakers from the first third of the industry. I've been inserting those that have a span of years.... there's more that didn't even get beyond initial organization...
January 10, 200719 yr 1920 Cleveland Roadster Someday I'd love to put together a rat rod using parts off of a Sanley Steamer & a Clevelend roadster... that way I could tell all the old men at car shows that my "fancy buckboard" was made by a little known colaboration durring the brass era between Cleveleand & Stanley Seamer.... they called it the Cleveland Steamer for short.
