That seems to be the hardest part...

[metalshapes]

1966 Pontiac GTO Monkee Mobile   and James Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder " lil' Bastard"

Work on both cars was done by Dean Jeffries, but claimed by George Barris.

[Paul Jaray]

that is really new: Jame's Dean 550 was done by Jeffries and claimed by Barris?
I read that Barris bought the wrecked car for his 'circus'....

Yep.

Jeffries did the lettering & numbers.

Barris did the "Smoke and Mirrors" thing with his circus, and invented the myth that it was cursed...


Edit.


Of course, both gentlemen claim that they did the work.
But who would you believe....?

Tom Mix's 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton and 1937 Duesenberg J Rollston Convertible Berline.

Both these cars were made in car companies owned by E.L Cord, in the last year of their production.

( the last year of production is kind of close to a link I added recently, and the "owned by E L Cord" would not stand by itself.
So, PJ, please let me know if this one is OK or if we should keep looking for a better link...)

[Paul Jaray]

 Why do you say " "owned by E L Cord" would not stand by itself" ?
It seems a new one to me...

[metalshapes]

Oh...OK.  I didn't check, but I guessed it'd be taken.

[Amsterdam]

1937 Duesenberg J Rollston Convertible Berline and the Daimler EL 24

Both cars where produced by manufactures who where building rolling chassis for other manufactures/ coachbuilders to body

[metalshapes]

Daimler EL 24 and the 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton.

They both had a 4 speed pre-selector gearbox.

1937 Cord 812/SC and 1940 American Bantam Hollywood: Both cars were modified by Alex Tremulis to create entirely new models that initially were never approved by the owners of their respective companies.

Alex Tremulis and the first Bantam Hollywood (1940)

Alex Tremulis on the 812/SC: Then E. L. Cord came to look at the Cord. He said, “My name happens to be on that car, how come I didn’t know about this?” I told him there wasn’t time. And I added, “I just figured I could do no wrong because you never objected to the ‘Wrath of Gods’ pouring out the sides of the Duesenbergs, so how could I go wrong with the two pipes on the sides here?”  Well, the car turned out to be sensational; we set records in sales, the highest record in sales in its history at the ten day automobile show.

Alex Tremulis on the Bantam: That afternoon a Bantam Coupe arrived. I got the shop guys in to work. Told them to get a torch and cut the entire roof off.  The next day Roy Evans came in and said, “I’ve changed my mind. You should have waited. You didn’t even have a contract, how do you know you are even going to get paid for this. Now you’ve wrecked a coupe.”

1940 American Bantam Hollywood and 2005 Fiat Multipla 115 JTD Cinecittà.
One car shares a name with America’s famous film city, the other is named after its European counterpart.

In its heyday, Cinecittà was often referred to as ’Hollywood on the Tiber’.

[Paul Jaray]

I lived 14 years few hundreds of meters from Cinecittà...

2005 Fiat Multipla 115 JTD Cinecittà and the Matra-Simca Bagheera

Borh cars where available with a third front seat

Let's try "Matra-Simca Bagheera[/b"] and "the Pink Panther car". Both have a name in common with a cartoon figure.

[metalshapes]

The Pink Panther car, and Doug Rose's  Green Mamba .

Driver position in both cars was centered, and in front of the Front Axle Centerline.

Doug Rose's  Green Mamba   and the BeefEater & engineering company Big Kahuna concept hybrid barbeque car.

Both car are quite capable of roasting a nice chicken

[Paul Jaray]

It's funny, but it doesn't work...
Even a Fiat Punto and a Buick Roadmaster can be used to run over a pedestrian, but it won't make a valid connection....

Doug Rose's  Green Mamba and the Bennet Drag Car

Both cars have an open monococ with a rollcage
