coknuck Posted September 5, 2006 CID Share Posted September 5, 2006 MYRIAGON; The one on post 310 is a 1953 Cadillac Ghia Coupe. If Ralph Nader probably wouldn't like it, its probably a Corvair of some type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at this site http://www.shorey.net/Auto/American/GM/Chevrolet/Corvair/htmltree.html I never realized they experimented so much with the Corvair, GM had some nice designs happening.

cholla Posted September 5, 2006 CID Share Posted September 5, 2006 No problem I was just happy I found it.Have you ever driven a Corvair.I've never owned one But a friend of mine had a couple.They were just regular production ones .But they would cruise at 80 mph.I found some of the Corvair concepts while looking for the one you posted.

MYRIAGON Posted September 5, 2006 CID Share Posted September 5, 2006 Yes I have drove a Corvair, but I didn't know it till tonight My dad used to own a hardware, and in the early days when I was about 6YO My brother let me sit on his lap and drive our store truck all the time, looking back in my later years I always thought it was a Ford Econoline truck, but while looking at the corvairs I noticed they had one that looks a lot like the Ford but I noticed the Corvair had the the gate at the side instead of the rear and that's how our old truck was. So I learned something new. I put some pix below of the Ford/Dodge/Chevy p/u trucks, they look almost the same. I never even knew Dodge made one till I saw one on Overhaulin last week, It turned out sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted September 5, 2006 CID Share Posted September 5, 2006 MYRIAGON;I've never driven a Corvair pickup or van only the car & it wasn't one of the turbo spyders.I think if you look in this topic I posted some pics of the Corvair pickup & one shows the side open. My dad drove an Econoline van for a long time. There was a man here that had a customizing shop that drove an Econoline pickup he customized .Really cool looking.This was in the late 70's so I don't know where the pickup would be now. I guess it is here instead: http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=14699.msg153292#msg153292 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roco Posted September 12, 2006 CID Share Posted September 12, 2006 it's a hanomag. a tempo matador e. Thanks Reso..... was it also known as H.M.A,? I was under the impression that Hanomag was a East German branch of Volkswagen ? I got some news of F1 rule changes, looks like I cant enter a 2CV team unless I take the inertia dampers off " What F1 has learned from the Citroen 2CV and why the FIA has to stop it Ferrari and Renault have been informed in recent days that they have to change their front damping systems because they have moving parts inside the dampers and these are banned under Article 3.15 of the FIA Formula 1 Technical Regulations for 2006. The concept was first used in the the Citroen 2CV in the late 1940s and was designed to reduce wheel patter, vertical oscillation of the wheels caused by the tyres. More recently, however, the same basic concept has been used in architectural design to reduce resonance created by wind or earthquakes."
