I've to second Ray's comment. I've got not the slightest clue from where do you get all those mysterious cars.
More and more I believe the internet is still full of holes like a Swiss cheese...

I'm not sure where to begin, but damn, those are some bodacious Dagmars! I'm thinking it would be too ironic for it to be a Tata.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #5 on:** April 07, 2009, 11:37:14 AM »

It is a TATA! Now, the model name?

(for you all, don't worry, it's not...but you know, just want to help....)

I'll guess it's from your book archive, so, my chances to solve this mystery is against all odds.. $:-\$

Nevertheless: is it from the USA?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #7 on:** April 07, 2009, 12:12:18 PM »

Yes, it is, and I really have a little info about this, but I think it's very nice.

Ray B. · « **Reply #8 on:** April 07, 2009, 12:55:40 PM »

Do you know if it's purely a one off custom, or if it was intended for production ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #9 on:** April 07, 2009, 01:01:27 PM »

One-off custom.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #10 on:** July 04, 2009, 02:49:29 PM »

Who did this?

Ray B. · « **Reply #11 on:** July 31, 2009, 02:42:59 PM »

Would it be a guy named Dan Barshak?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #12 on:** July 31, 2009, 03:05:51 PM »

Looks like that, but that's not the name I have...

Ray B. · « **Reply #13 on:** July 31, 2009, 04:36:46 PM »

Yes, that's what made me think he may have eventually built it ...

Er going slightly off topic but in the diagram it shows the roof as acting as a radiator for the engine coolant - but the top is quoted as being removable. So when it is hot weather and you don't want the top fitted how does the engine get cooled?

Me too

A custom roadster built buy J. K. Osborn on 1957 Oldsmobile. The car was shown at National Champion Custom Car Show in Detroit, 1961. That's all I think

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2009, 01:01:31 PM »

You did it!

That's all I know, well done, 2 points for you.

Arunas · « **Reply #17 on:** August 23, 2009, 01:03:13 PM »

Wow! Thanks! A really odd car, but beautiful..

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #18 on:** October 10, 2014, 06:05:34 AM »

Pictures restored...and some new added!

It's about to bear a new custom!
