Ex Menarini worker, Kubelwagen-based built in 1957-59.
Was the magazine Auto d'Epoca?
(I know it's not Ruoteclassiche and my nex guess will be 'LaManovella'

)

yes it is: a little step (name of the creator and the location) to gain a point!
locked for you

Please unlock...it was just a guess.
There are 3 major magazines and I had 50-50 chance to get it

I really would like to know the answer!
I guess the location is not Bologna...

thorax · « **Reply #57 on:** December 07, 2012, 04:13:46 PM »

the magazine is "Auto d'Epoca".
The plate is from Bologna.................

ci sei quasi

Was it featured in a pre-2000 issue?
If positive, between 1999 and 1995?
I know they are two guesses but I need to narrow it down...I already bought 60 issues and it's not there!!

thorax · « **Reply #59 on:** September 17, 2015, 08:11:03 AM »

sorry for delay!
pre 1990 issue

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #60 on:** October 23, 2015, 06:57:30 AM »

Bolide, built by Galatin for Francesco Castiglioni!

thorax · « **Reply #61 on:** October 23, 2015, 07:21:58 AM »

that's the car! (Galantin not Galatin

)
one point for you!!

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #62 on:** October 23, 2015, 08:49:00 AM »

Great! Very nice article.
I'll put some more info about once I'll have done with tons of new stuff...

EDIT:(1 point for a 44-month-old Black-Hole puzzle? And after I had to buy nearly 300 issues of tha magazine??

Ah, generally 2 points are awarded for solving a BH puzzle...

Wendax · « **Reply #64 on:** October 23, 2015, 09:17:20 AM »

Any chance that the puzzle pictures can be restored?

autospeurder · « **Reply #65 on:** October 23, 2015, 10:39:08 AM »

This was the hardest puzzle ever

I can seen no picture.
Peut-etre la voiture est couvru avec neige

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #66 on:** October 23, 2015, 12:00:40 PM »

I will put back the pics soon.
And this would be the 2nd time a got a single point for a BH puzzle...

...but the fun is worth it!

Those were others (mostly 'La Manovella')...it took me few years to file them in my database and now I am ready for the following ('Auto d'Epoca', 'Auto In', 'Auto Capital',...)

According to the article, Castiglioni had Galantin built a 1st coupe with gullwing doors then modified into a barchetta and finally this Bolide.
I think I have a good lead on Galantin whereabouts. I hope to receive a message soon
