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 possibilities, but without success so far.

1989 Tresaire Concept by Chad Hines & Gary Fulkerson.

Thanks Paul!

I knew I would give away an excellent mystery car, but my curiousness was stronger.

BTW: Why does Google refuses to give any results?

I have never seen this car before, but with the name of it the pictures, Paul Jaray has posted, could be easily found via google.. BTW.. I think there are no other info about this car: tech specs, etc?

Allemano · « **Reply #104 on:** January 03, 2009, 06:50:13 AM »

Is my Google more disabled than yours?

EDIT: Now I've found it! But nothing about builder, specifications etc.

You can find at least 3 sources, one with only pics, one of the company who engineered the retractable top and one of an article about this car, with very little info.

I have received an e-mail from my friend. He has sent me perfect picture and aked me what the car in background (that brownish one) could be.. I am not very good at these. I am thinking about Opel Commodore B or what.. Maybe You know exactly what it is or have better ideas? Thank You!

"1990 Cars & Concepts Tresaire" that's all I can find.. No articles or something like that

Still digging...

UPDATE: @PJ: "Not since the days..." is it that article?

Allemano · « **Reply #111 on:** January 03, 2009, 07:34:59 AM »

It's named Tresaire concept convertible, produced by Cars & Concepts, Brighton, Michigan.(Masco C&C corporation) Some additional informations are to find on a Canadian Ebay store. It's content of some Autolit brochure again.

Sorry for the delay...I think this link is absolutely harmless, but I do not want to break any rule so here's what's in there:

"A convertible whose top can be lowered at 65 mph? The C&C Skylite Convertible Hardtop System provides the first convertible top that can be opened and closd at highway speeds. Showcased on the "Trasaire," C&C's concept vehicle, this convertible hardtop has an aerodynamic all-glass top that can be vented..." You have to sign in for the rest.

Any ideas what could this be?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #116 on:** January 07, 2009, 03:57:49 PM »

I'm repulsed, yet I cannot look away.

Arunas · « **Reply #117 on:** January 07, 2009, 04:52:51 PM »

... and these two:

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #118 on:** January 07, 2009, 05:20:31 PM »

the second one is easy....Colani AC 428 CFX32 SPIDER

@re · « **Reply #119 on:** January 07, 2009, 06:49:31 PM »

And the first one I know I have seen somewhere before - just not with the Bugatti grille, so that's probably an add-on.

It looks somewhat like a "Custom Cloud", a short lived aftermarket kit for Chevy Monte Carlo's sold in the 1970's. However, the shape of the greenhouse says "Ford" to me, so I'm thinking it's a similar conversion on a Ford LTD II.

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #122 on:** January 08, 2009, 05:05:06 AM »

The Bugatti one reminds me of Barris's The Car from the movie "The Car", but it's not the same, just similar.

Arunas · « **Reply #123 on:** January 08, 2009, 09:04:56 AM »

I could add some more pics or that black car..
