Cars You Don't See Anymore

We saw this while out looking for ideas.

 

Strangely enough, it was the only Renault to offer a cross-flow, hemispherical combustion chambered, aluminum-engined version of this casting in their TX versions. The later R-18s and Fuegos continued with the traditional cast-iron-blocked variants.
Mounting the engine backwards behing the transaxle wasn't unusual for French automobile production. Citroen started doing this, sometime in the 30s.
The advantage of arranging the drivetrain this way over doing so modern, as in typical transverse-mounted engines, was improved handling, given that French versions were mid-engined, because most of the engine was placed behind the front axle. The last image shows one bolted onto an automatic transmission:



The Cutlaro (Cutlass+Camaro) exclusively remained a prototype

 

Chrysler stylists wunce dreamed up a Javelinlike prototype

 

And there’s the fastback Cougar…

 

Bubble Top?

 

And how it's done:

Looks like a roĺling you know what house and she is giving a quote.

 

I remember as a kid playing in a Nash that we had for a short time. All the seats folded down to make the whole interior into a rolling bedroom.

 

I am glad I do not see customs like what was done to this poor 71 Catalina! Crazy Germans!

 

Yikes!

 

It looks like the 70's van craze threw up on that car

Now, to be completely honest, once I get past the fact that I think it is pretty hideous, I must say I couldn't care less that he (or possibly she ) did this to their car. I think it looks absolutely hilarious, but it's their car. They obviously love it and are very proud of it. That's what makes the car hobby awesome. I'm happy for them.
