Where is this car on the site? I'm sure it's here somewhere but can't find it in the 'solved' section
I believe is down the sea... ;)

Fantastic! Incredible!! What The Heck Is THAT!?!?!?

The interesting thing about the By The Numbers thread is that one tends to stumble across photos based in the automotive world that are weird, bizarre or just downright stupid. Naturally, you want to share this oddities with friends, but the don't fit in the BTN thread.

What's a fellow to do?

Why, start a new thread, of course, dedicated to the offbeat, the unusual and the just plain ridiculous. Here are a couple of examples:







OK. This is a What Car Is That Site, right? So, someone ID this beauty. Betcha it takes someone here about 2.7 milliseconds to name it!

Does anybody know what has become of this one? It was Djetset's #42 and it seems to have vanished.
This "Blowfish Special" is still a mysterion, but all there is to know about it, plus many pictures, came up on the Forgotten Fiberglass website.

the photo shows some text, but I canīt really read it:

The name could be "Alaine (Elaine?) D'Aviatia" (D'Avialia?)
A year "1930" is maybe not likely according to the pic above, but possible.

If her name is Aviatia I would say it has to be "Loute" or "Zoute" instead of "Loule".

I don't know if this was of any help...  :-\

The top left notes by pencil are probably "1 agrand. (=agrandir)" and "1 petite", probably meaning that 1 small and 1 enlarged picture had to be made. The location name must be "Le Zoute" like the famous Belgian spa Knokke-Le Zoute. The year has to be 1950 (look at the Buick in the background). The lady's name is Alaine D '  ?????.

Does anyone know the flag on top of the building?

If it's a national flag, then there are very few that use this device of a diagonal cross. It's a shame it's a black and white photo. However, the left and right triangles look to be a darker tone than the top and bottom ones, and the only national flag I can think of that fits that pattern is of Jamaica.

Could that be a possibility?

I think I've found something more likely...

It could be the flag of the Belgian municipality 'Balen' (belonging to Antwerp)




or 'Dessel':



or 'Wijnegem':

My guess would be the former Belgian colony of Burundi.

What about the old flag of former Belgian airline Sabena (before 1963) ? The building already reminded me of a small airport terminal.

I was looking for an airfield in the former colonies, but it is indeed in Belgium. I think it is Knokke-Het Zoute airfield:
