Sorry to disagree, but that's not a Fordson tractor. I don't think you'll find a Fordson with the engine enclosed by a louvred cowl like that.

It's a McCormick-Deering 10-20, a model made from 1923 to 1939 by the International Harvester Company. The one shown below has different wheels, but you can see it's the same machine.

Still a famous company :P
I think your solution is probably the one.

Actually, that's the second (of two) Ogle Aston Martin DBSV8, made in 1973.
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

It indeed appears to be the Isuzu 117 Sport by Ghia of 1966. Thank you!

The first time that I use this thread:
Does anybody remember of this recent puzzle? It's not a car. The (color) picture shows a design studio with several people at work. I don't know who posted it, didn't download the picture, and can't find it in the site.
Thanks.

No; it's a shot of the Midget Autopia at Disneyland. Its big brother, Autopia, was a puzzle here before.

http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=12438.msg103109#msg103109

The Midget Autopia cars were for children only; Autopia cars could accommodate adults. The Midget Autopia, coincidentally, was removed to make way for the infernal "It's a Small World" ride.

Amazingly, there was also an Autopia Junior, bigger than the Midgets, but smaller than the original Autopia cars.

The Midgets were not bad looking little cars, save for the robust but much-needed bumpers.

Penned by the Maestro Himself, Giorgetto Giugiaro, during his stint at Ghia.
If you study this design closely you will see the similarities with his Fiat Dino Coupe done whilst at Bertone - the proportions, front and rear, glass etc.  In the metai it actually looked more like the Dino than it does in pictures.

I try to avoid this requests, but since we have a microcar expert on board I'd love to know more about this car.
I know too little to post it as a puzzle and I'd rather have a pic for that.
Do you know it?
I know that is should be Italian, with a 125cc Ducati engine and from 1970.

I hope I'll be more lucky with this one.
I know what it seems (a Lombardi, Sessano, Coggiola...) but can't figure it out in a reasonable amount of time.
I'd like to post it as a puzzle but can't check if it's a repost.

Hi guys,

I have a new one for Otto's topic about cars climbing more than 45% grades, but I don't remember its exact name, nor where it is.
Anyone does?
