Solved - NEH 1868: Omega Brio - 1979
« on: June 21, 2012, 06:00:51 AM »
This car has featured on AP before but AFAIK has not actually been a puzzle.  So, for 1 point, what is it?

ANYONE FOUND GIVING ANSWERS GLEANED BY USING GOOGLE SEARCH BY IMAGE WILL BE BANNED FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD!

Omega Brio 1980 by Omega Electric Motors Corporation (but the car is similar to SIE Triad).

That's it, yes.
It seems to be the same car marketed under a different name.

Ah - another "automobile manufacturer" equipping a Beetle chassis with a kit-car body and surplus electrical bits affixed to plywood with drywall screws and duct tape.  :D

Yes - that's what I was referring to when I first posted the puzzle, but of course couldn't post the link!!

All the windows look like Datsun 240Z to me, but whether they just copied it in fiberglass and used the same glass I have no idea.
