Not that I like those creations very much.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Is this car based upon the design of a 1935 Chevrolet coupe'?

Can this be a Berliet? I hope it is not.

This unfortunate machine seems to be some form of customised Mercedes-Benz 170, modified to shoehorn in a larger engine I guess such as an American V8?

Yes, it is a Mercedes-Benz 170 with an American V8. Locked for you.

OK, found it. This frightful M-B 170 V seems to be the one-off creation of Lutz Müller. It uses an ex-Buick Riviera V8 and seems to be nicknamed 'the Bastard'! Here's another image of this utter horror...

Yes, the Bastard not only uses the Buick V8, but the whole Riviera chassis. Lutz Müller didn't build it, he is just the current owner. He acquired the car from its builder David Strohmeyer.

It's quite touching that it is named after its creator's status. :lmao:
