Here's a nice one. Who built it, where, what was its donor? For one point

It looks like an early Allard, so is there any connection there?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #2 on:** October 18, 2009, 09:26:58 AM »

Allard and this one raced against each other. That is the only connection.

It is cool looking. A Kurtis perhaps?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #4 on:** October 18, 2009, 02:23:05 PM »

Not a Kurtis, much more obscure

Yes, a Special. Not a Stovebolt though

Alta-based. Ice racing in Canada.

?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #8 on:** October 19, 2009, 11:16:23 PM »

Not Alta-based and it's not specifically designed for ice racing

Well, I am sure our well-informed professionals will quickly identify this one!

Wallis?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #11 on:** October 26, 2009, 10:36:54 AM »

As in Hungarian super-rich dealer-group, responsible for Saab, Opel, Citroen and other dealerships

?

BTW, it is not a Wallis

pnegyesi · « **Reply #12 on:** November 01, 2009, 02:18:18 PM »

A clue may be needed here. It is from USA, powered by a US-made engine

faksta · « **Reply #13 on:** November 01, 2009, 03:13:27 PM »

Oh..I was almost sure it is Scandinavian... Should be a small displacement engine then?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #14 on:** November 01, 2009, 03:58:01 PM »

Nope, it is not a small displacement engine

pnegyesi · « **Reply #15 on:** November 27, 2009, 01:19:02 PM »

Clue: who founded Detroit?

Allemano · « **Reply #16 on:** November 27, 2009, 01:21:34 PM »

a Cadillac

pnegyesi · « **Reply #17 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:09:35 PM »

Yes, it is Cadillac-engined

pnegyesi · « **Reply #18 on:** December 19, 2009, 11:26:26 AM »

This one goes to the Black Hole

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** December 20, 2009, 09:24:53 AM »

Did it start out as an Alta?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #20 on:** December 20, 2009, 11:35:48 AM »

No, my source doesn't say anything about Alta-connection

pnegyesi · « **Reply #21 on:** February 04, 2010, 10:03:23 PM »

C'mon, it ain't so hard - if you know where to look. I took this picture from an English-language, well-known forum...

faksta · « **Reply #22 on:** February 05, 2010, 02:06:55 AM »

Now that was enough

Is it a Meyer Cadillac Special?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #23 on:** February 05, 2010, 02:51:35 PM »

Yes, it is
