What's this one? A point is offered for the correct identification. And it is not a repost..

Bugace · July 06, 2010, 09:51:58 AM

Franke Buggy?

pnegyesi · July 06, 2010, 12:35:53 PM

Wow, boy, that was sooo quick. And almost correct! Locked for you to give me the exact model name.

Bugace · July 06, 2010, 03:10:02 PM

Franke Buggy 75 maybe.

pnegyesi · July 06, 2010, 03:34:18 PM

No, the name is not buggy at all. You have one more try

Bugace · July 06, 2010, 04:12:41 PM

Joker 76. Same body as the Buggy 75, but a bit longer.

pnegyesi · July 06, 2010, 11:29:10 PM

No, the Franke Joker has already been posted as a puzzle. This one has a rather specific name.

pnegyesi · July 16, 2010, 11:17:50 PM

Experts?

Bugace · July 17, 2010, 10:57:23 AM

Franke did several versions on the Joker.

Coud this be Franke Coupe?

pnegyesi · July 18, 2010, 11:02:31 AM

Nope, the name is something else - not a body style name

Bugace · July 18, 2010, 12:20:49 PM

All I got is two magazines, from '78, and '82. Not much more help in those.

I'm not a kitcar knower either, so this one is hard.

I've not given it up yet, is working too solve this, so don't throw it in the Black hole.

Franke Scout 1978

pnegyesi · July 23, 2010, 02:51:53 PM

1976, but otherwise correct. Congratulations

Another rare photo of this unusual car, here with a silghtly different front end:

Wendax · February 04, 2017, 04:59:37 PM

... and a rather different rear end!

Paul Jaray · February 05, 2017, 09:24:36 AM

that's the Joker 76.

grobmotorix · February 06, 2017, 12:15:09 PM

ooops - I did not look at this photo too precisely, I guess

Otto Puzzell · March 04, 2017, 03:30:45 AM

Their attempt to "Americanize" the car for sale in the US and Canada completed destroyed the design.

Carnut · March 04, 2017, 05:15:09 AM

It didn't sell then?!
