I tried several times to upload those pics in that reply and once I did it I got the text wrong!
I found some pics in Bellù's book and those Panhards remind me of the mistery car...I took a look at some Simca too but so far no matches.

Ein fescher Riederberg-Rennkibitz.

What does it mean? Is there anyone who can translate it better than me & Google?

Wendax · « **Reply #927 on:** September 07, 2014, 05:04:35 PM »

Riederberg is a racetrack near Vienna, fesch is an Austrian word for attractive, Kiebitz is a bird (Northern lapwing in English, pavoncella in Italian), Rennen means race. So literally it is an attractive Riederberg race bird, probably a nice looking small racing car.

Thank you...not enough for a puzzle.
Here you are the pic:

I guess that 'Kiebitz' translation Wendax provided could also mean something different. The verb "kiebitzen" means something like "to peep" or "to peek". So, he (the driver) is maybe only a spectator of that race. (jokingly meant)

Mr. Jaray: now you have 17.000 posts on your account! That's worth a bottle of champaign, isn't it?

Uh-oh - he's gaining on me.

You know the type of car?

Hello I am trying to identify a car I don't have a picture but I know I saw it on jay leno's garage I am pretty sure he was at pebble beach or some other show or gathering. It was a old fashioned type roadster open wheel. I don't think it was la bestioni because it wasn't a video by itself the video had other cars as well it was custom it wasn't the magnolia special either if I saw a picture I would recognize it. I know it's not a lot to go on but since they redid jay leno's website I can't find the video anymore. I am leaving more towards that the car was at pebble beach or Laguna seca
But I am not 100%. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like the Blastolene...

rosenbergm · « **Reply #934 on:** September 16, 2014, 12:31:57 PM »

No it wasn't one of jay's personal cars it was somebody else's and it didn't come to his garage he was at a show like pebble beach or some other gathering

I need a little help in identifying these cars, that a design studio claims they worked on, but are not so clear to me. Thanks!

Another unknown car, a SUV supposed to be made for Saudi Arabia. Does anybody know if actually ever built?

Cesare Rizzato 112 Carello Microcar?

Do you know someone and have a photo somewhere?

CrzRsn · « **Reply #938 on:** October 13, 2014, 10:15:22 PM »

Can anyone help out with this? Picture was taken in Russia earlier this year by a family member of mine. Being the car guy in the family, he asked me what it was, but I couldn't figure it out. A friend of mine and I have gone through all the usual suspects, the GaZ M1, DKWs, 40s Citroen, etc, but nothing matches. Any clues?

Thanks

Wendax · « **Reply #939 on:** October 14, 2014, 03:54:49 AM »

It looks like a Hanomag Kurier, probably left in Russia at the end of WW2 and modified over the years to keep it running. Engine and axles are probably of Russian origin now, Moskvich or similar.

Aha! Thats really close! Never heard of Hanomag before, but defiantly on the right track. The hood vents seem off though, so a bit of Googleing suggests that its the Hanomag Rekord.

Wendax · « **Reply #941 on:** October 14, 2014, 04:40:41 PM »

For sure, I didn't notice the louvers. Besides the different bonnet for a larger engine, Kurier and Rekord used the same pressed steel body, the Ambi-Budd Jupiter.

Wendax · « **Reply #942 on:** October 14, 2014, 04:41:54 PM »

Did we ever have this one featured as a puzzle?
Or does anybody know what it is?

HEMI 426 · « **Reply #943 on:** October 18, 2014, 11:45:09 AM »

Hi All,

I am trying to locate a puzzle which featured a small yellow taxi-like hatchback.

If I remember correctly it was a rear end shown in the puzzle photo. I don't know whose puzzle it is/was, perhaps Quiller's but I cannot find it anywhere.

Any ideas? Is it in SOLVED section already?

EDIT: A photo I have found (not puzzle picture) is attached. Does anyone remember such puzzle?

Wendax · « **Reply #948 on:** October 24, 2014, 03:57:14 AM »

Does anybody know about the company or scientific society behind this badge?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #949 on:** October 24, 2014, 04:10:00 AM »

Looks like a Geddes desing...
