no is not a Mustang but yes it is american

AMC, as I recall, not sure, but was it the AMX prototype?

Dick Teague's AMC concept car designed as a competitor for the Pantera?

Techw is right, AMX 3 prototype.

Looks a LOT like a mini Pantera... or the Pantera looks a lot like the amx.

I guess it's officially my turn...

:-)

Here's a shot I took at SEMA. Yes, the car is famous enough to have a fairly-well known name, in some circles... not looking for what it's based on, but what its (re)builder named it.

Thats the Foose designed/built '36 Ford "Impression" that won the Ridler this year. Stunning car.

Looks a LOT more like a 37 than a 36.

The 36 had headlite on pods sticking out horizontally from behind the grille, not touching the fenders. 37 had headlites like Chip's car. So it's a 36 with 37 headlights, which are VERY different.

But... it is a custom, isn't it, and Chip says he started w/ a '36 body.

AMX III
Unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show in
early 1969, the non-running AMX/2
surprised everyone as the first evidence
that tiny AMC was toying with an
advanced mid-engine sports car. Styling,
created under company design chief Dick
Teague, featured an "airfoil" shape, and
managed to be interesting -- swoopy
without being cartoonish. Graceful
simplicity was the watchword from
curved nose to "Kamm" tail. A fastback
roofline with a dorsal "spine" floated
above a flat, ribbed engine cover-cum-
deck. Central twin exhausts implied a
V-S, which was planned for but not
installed in this purely speculative
exercise. Still, public response was wildly
enthusiastic.




Tim is right that's a 1936 Ford Roadster by Foose

Awesome thread guys!-Keep 'er goin'!

tchanson... your turn... bump

Yes, I believe it had won the Ridler before and had been redone since and won a second time(?) Anyway, it re-premiered at SEMA '05. Sorry for the tardy affirmation. In person, the car is just fantastic. Foose knows his colors.

I suspect this may be a fairly easy one...

Tim

Is that a Borgward (Isabella?, Hasna?, Arabella?)

It's a Studebaker-Porsche prototype. Rear Porsche engine, air cooled V8, if I remember correctly, in a Studebaker built (Porsche designed?) body.

Very hush-hush skunkworks project, and the several prototypes were all thoroughly destroyed by Studebaker. Late 50's early 60's.

Stuttgart via South Bend
 

You're our winner, Dave.

Its the 1952/6 Type 542 Porsche Studebaker contract engineering project, powered by water and air cooled V6's.

What about this one:

Adler (German) Rennsport, ca 1934.

You are a bit off on the year and model but you got it on the brand and country.

Dang, that was too quick

Correction...1937 Rennlimousine Competition.

WOW, you got it all. I guess I must try harder next time ;)
