cholla Posted August 24, 2006 CID Share Posted August 24, 2006 MYRIAGON;Good answer on the Golden Rocket. On the Ford Fairlane retractable hardtop one of my uncles has one.The top retractc into the trunk but it still has trunk space .There is an area the is a rectangle made of metal walls that is under the center of the top when it's retracted,This is where lugage & other items go. I think there is a modern car with a retractable top also .I need to check but I think some models of the Mercedes Kompressor have a retractable top.

cholla Posted August 24, 2006 CID Share Posted August 24, 2006 coknuck;I had a little advantage .The second car I learned to drive in was a 1954 Buick Special 4 door sedan.It was also my granddads but it was his good car so he didn't let me drive it till I had a learners permit .Then he always accompanied me in it even after I got my full licsense.Now I know why.Back then I didn't. tommie;I kind of mix it up hard & easy but if I get almost all of them that bores people too. I always liked these too bad the stopped making them.A lot more aerodnymic than most small pickups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted August 24, 2006 CID Share Posted August 24, 2006 I just saw one of them a couple days ago. Dodge Rampage they were pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted August 24, 2006 CID Share Posted August 24, 2006 coknuck thats correct they also made a Plymouth Scamp that was the same vehicle like a lot of Mopar.But Rampage is a lot cooler name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted August 24, 2006 CID Share Posted August 24, 2006 Sorry coknuck, that was correct. You would think with all the style the auto makers left behind, they would try some of the concept stuff that would have done so well.

cholla Posted August 24, 2006 CID Share Posted August 24, 2006 dlewis23 ;I been a car guy since I could crawl so no wonder.I do leave some for the rest to guess. I never did get a 100% ID on the old Mercedes & I took the picture.I just forgot to label it.I think it is a 1935 or 1936 Mercedes 500K Special Roadster. Heres you one to identify.

MYRIAGON Posted August 24, 2006 CID Share Posted August 24, 2006 cholla........ My uncle had a pickup just like that from the time when I was in diapers, and he had it till I was late in my teens. To this day ( at age 82 ) he still drives a NISSAN pickup, brand new though Not sure about the year (guessing) around 60-61 Datsun and or Nissan pickup, I don't know the model name though.

cholla Posted August 24, 2006 CID Share Posted August 24, 2006 MYRIAGON ;You're correct.a 1960 Datsun pickup.It could be a late 1959 That's when the first one arrived. Datsun 1000 only featured a 1000cc, 37-horsepower 4-cylinder engine and a quarter-ton load capacity, it was the precursor of better things to come. In immediate iterations, the engine size increased to 1200cc and horsepower to 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
