I've been perving both of those cars on Barn Finds! That Guanci is just a cool car; if I had the money I'd have it in a heartbeat. That Aquila does something for me. It has some very right lines, though some are also almost uncanny-valley-level off. It might even have some get up with that Corvair flat 6.

The Guanci looks a bit like the De Tomasa Mangusta- predecessor to the Pantera...

De Tomaso being part of it's design definitely shows through. It's like a De Tomaso and a Porsche were smooshed together.

For the AMC fans. Ramblers, Javelins (and the Javelin AMXs), the Gremlins, Hornets, and of course the Jeep CJs. AMC is the acronym for the American Manufacturing Company. American Motors Corporation (AMC; commonly referred to as American Motors) was an American automobile manufacturing company formed by the merger of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and Hudson Motor Car Company on May 1, 1954. Interesting wikipedia articleAny who, check this one out. American Motors' "wonderous world of wagons. Made for three years in very limited numbers, each year has a bad azz badge identifying the model/year. The link has sublinks in it. All interesting. We had/have a member from Florida. Neptune. He was an avid collector or admirer of wood side station wagons. I miss that guy.

That car looks a lot like a modern Peugeot 206cc (which also is a convertible)...

Sliding Doors and a Kissing Grill: 1954 Kaiser Darrin  The sliding doors :  | quote | Sadly, the car’s performance didn’t live up to its looks. It was built on a modified Henry J chassis with an inline six-cylinder engine and a three-speed manual transmission. Despite weighing just 2,176 lbs, the car’s engine put out a paltry 90 horsepower. The Henry J chassis wasn’t exactly a model for structural rigidity either. Customers who were looking for a traditional sports car with some horsepower and a chassis capable of conquering twisty roads were disappointed. To be fair, the same complaints almost torpedoed the Corvette. |

The performance did not live up to it's looks ? Where have we heard that before,  ?

If I'm not mistaken, they had one of these on that new TV show, Fall-Out, which is based on the game franchise. I think it was in the first episode before the nuclear fall-out.

I missed that. My Dad actually had one of these Bubble Cars .... when I was a small kid. They are made in Europe and I was born in London.

Imagine an air commuter trapped inside a glitching autonomous JohnnyCab, endlessly circling the LAX parking lot, the destination visible across South Sepulveda Blvd, the Hyyatt Regency Hotel. His dried out, desiccated remains discovered years later, the solar powered cab having done a half million miles, the unfortunate's last text, ' Thirsty, Croaking, Skynet, Aarrgghh ! ' ' It was a software programming unconditional loop, an inadvertent error in debugging ! Just a fluke we found it ! '  [This message has been edited by Valkrie9 (edited 01-06-2025).]
