Anyone could tell me what is this beauty? Because I don't know  ???

Possibly, but I just want this to be identified not because of any puzzle, but because of I have no ideas (or maybe too many ideas  ;D) what this could be  :(

Possibly,

Rephrasing the question in order to prevent you dodging answering it; Do you know of another site where this is a puzzle right now?  Yes or no.

Yes or no.

 :noid:


Yes! And, according to You, this also should mean, that like an ass**** I am using AutoPuzzles that someone would solve it for me, yeah? If You're thinking this way You're absolutely wrong. The main reason why I posted this car is because "I want to know what it is", forgetting any puzzles.

P.S. Please believe me, I am not that person who just wants to solve as many puzzles as possible anywhere anytime. I have more other objectives  ;) Whatever....

When you post a puzzle from another board you will provide links to the puzzle at the other site or I will delete your post.  I will be anxiously awaiting the link to this one.   

Continue behavior like this quoted post and I will delete you.   Make sure we are understood.

That is all.

So, rather than provide a link to the puzzle that you took the pic from you plead innocence and delete the post.

Ever fallen through thin ice, Arunas?   You are getting dangerously close to doing so with me.

I don't want to discuss it anymore, since I find it pointless. Forget it..

I don't care what you wish to discuss.

When you, Arunas, bring material from other sites you will include a link.  Is that CLEARLY understood by you?

 ???

Let's hope so.

Let me post one then.

This one is featured on a web page as a Lotus Elan variation. Has anybody ever seen it before? What is it?

Looks more like a Nissan 350Z at the front, in my opinion... a bastard child of some sort, anyway...

Hello!

While searching for some Bugattis I came to this: quite odd looking one.. Unfortunately no name of it has been provided so I would like to ask if someone knows an exact model name of this car?

Thank You!

Old, or made to look old?

Whoops! Went AD/HD for a bit and just kinda spaced out. Sorry about that.

It is both old and made to look that way. Errrmmm... that's not very clear.

Let's try again.

 It is based upon an old car but it is newly created for this year's SEMA show. The main body is exactly as was surmised: 32 Ford 3 Window Coupe. The boattail and the rest are brand spanking new. It's sort of a Resto-mod-kusto-vintage car of sorts.

Aw screw it. It's all new made to look like it's old, which is why I couldn't find the damn thing to begin with. I was looking in the wrong century.

Oh, and that Bugatti is a 1952 T57 with a body by Brown. It's currently located in Brussels, at least according to the Buggati Page. http://www.bugattipage.com/bp1.htm (Halfway down, the link that says "Different Post War Bodies on Buggatis" - the thumbnail appears to be missing)

Anyone could also post any information about the Jameson MkI & Mk II? It seems that very little info could be found online and no exact details.. I would be greatly thankful!

Here are some info about some cars I've been asked:
 Monviso Stella Filante:
Presented at the 1954's Turin salon, based on the Fiat 1100/103 TV, it was a spider that featured a detachtable plexiglass top and was designed by Michelotti.
Stabilimento Monviso was founded by Commendator Alessandro Casalis in 1944. Felice Mario Boano (GHIA) was his friend and he passed him the commissions about ambulances and hearses. In 1953 Casalis presented a 1100 Coupè and the following year the Stella Filante. This was the last project because Casalis joined Luigi Segre in GHIA and started to build the Ghia-Serie Speciali and the firm Stabilimento Monviso was absorbed by GHIA but remained for commercials and tuned versions.
Some models by Stabilimenti Monviso,:
Fiat 1100B Cabriolet/Spyder/Coupe Stella Alpina 1948
Lancia Aprilia Coupe 1949
Fiat 1100E Cabriolet/Spyder/Coupe Stella Alpina 1949
Fiat 1400 Royal Cabriolet 1950
Fiat 1100E Coupe/Spyder Rondinella 1951
Fiat 1400 Coupe/Spyder Rondine 1951
Fiat 1900 Coupe Rondinella 1953
...plus a trim line for the fiat 600.

Carrozzeria Mantelli:
This firm is very old, it started his activity in Turin 1922 founded by Pietro Mantelli who took over the Carrozzeria Italiana and who became the ufficial supplier for Ansaldo and Diatto bodies. His cars were the first to mount bumpers.
Andrea Mantelli continued the activity of his father, who has the factory destroyed during the bombing in 1943. Like many others at that time he prepared ambulances, hearses, advertising vehicles and light trucks.
 In 1956 he presented a Fiat 600 Multipla Giardinetta, with a nice two-tone paint and a different back,  a 600 Multipla Furgone and a 600 Multipla Camioncino, 2 delivery and light trucks.
In 1957 he designed a MG Midget TF replica on a Fiat 1100/103 chassis, but only one was made.
In 1957 he asked Michelotti to design a new version for the Fiat 600 and the result was a down-sized copy of a fiat 1100/103E, available in a standard verion and one color, and De Luxe version, with a bicolor paint.
In 1959 this 600 was upgraded and the new style was a (down-sized) copy of the big fiat 1800 and 2100.
Andrea Mantelli also designed a Nuova 500 Sedan in 1958 on the lines of the Fiat 1200 Granluce (!).
One of the last creations is a Fiat 850 4-door.

Anyone knows what this is?
It was shown on 2008 Eyeson Design show in Detroit. The name written on the plate is slightly to small to say clearly what it is.
I read 1989 T...aire concept (?) by Ch... H....... & Gary(?) Pull.....

I googled many combinations, but without any success so far.
