Not an Ashley Regent

I would try AKS but there isn't anyone called that on the Forum.
There IS a Falcon but the only Falcon it could really be is an early Bermuda and that doesn't start with an R...
So I seem to be stumped!

Another clue

:

There is a Lancia by Nardi with this partial name but in italian.....Now it´s easy!

....Blue Ray?

Yes!!! Ray is the first part of the name!

Carnut · December 02, 2009, 07:03:38 PM

I did think of Ray but discounted it because there is nothing at all in any of my 'Complete Encyclopedias' that begins with Ray at all. So I have no chance whatsoever of getting this one.
And there doesn't seem to be anything on the Internet either, although I'm sure you'll know otherwise...

It´s an one-off! .....designed and built by the same person.

I only have one source for it. Famous site.

Was it designed and built by Raymond Flowers after he left the Frisky outfit in about 1958?

João · December 04, 2009, 09:39:34 AM

No... $:-\$ The car´s name starts with Ray

OK, believe he did build another car but it was just named after him..
But I may be wrong as I can't find a picture of it!

João · December 04, 2009, 04:31:37 PM

I think ...there aren´t connections between them

pnegyesi · January 02, 2010, 03:11:02 PM

this car, which starts with Ray, could that be built by a guy, called Raymond?

Here's another picture of it:

A modern-day pic of #16

Arthur Bentas of Chelmsford, Massachusetts built a beautiful custom car during the 1950s, known as the Raven. It was built from scratch and the project actually began with a 1939 Dodge chassis and a 6-cylinder L-head engine. The windshield was also from a Dodge. The doors, hood and front fenders were courtesy of a 1954 Kaiser. A 1952 Chevrolet hood was modified to become the trunk and was given a Lasalle tire cover. The taillight rings were from a 1950 Pontiac while the taillight lenses came from a 1956 Desoto. The hardtop and dashboard were created by hand by Arthur out of fiberglass. The rear bumper came from a Kaiser and a dual exhaust system was snaked through the bumper.
