What is this car?

^^^That thing resembles a rolling schnozz. Threre are 3 Alfa 2600's in that picture, the two Bertone Sprint coupes, and a 2600 Berlina just to the right of the BMW.

Here's everything in the original photo behind the fiberglass project.
The Volvo will become part of the museum once it gets gone over.
I had to look close at the two blue Milanos in the back row. I had a similar Milano in the early 90's, I was waiting to take a left turn and some poor college girl in a Ford Granada slammed into the back, pushed the bumper right up to the rear wheel. Neither was my old one.

They do look similar. Pontiac used a similar logo for their Trans Am Firehawk.



The Firestone Firehawk series was for Showroom stock cars with minor modifications, an endurance series. The cars all ran Firestore Firehawk tires, and had the Firestone logo and the chicken on both sides of the car, and a windshield banner. Later in the series they modified the chicken to include the Firehawk brand name. This series is where the 944 S2 "Super Seven" came from, seven specially prepared cars made just to run the series. In a way, my car was a predecessor to those cars, built with only two options, the sport suspension and the locking differential, no sunroof. And wouldn't you know, they forgot to undercoat it too.





I still need to find the ET Mags sponsor decal that's under the door.

I did not know my dads stuff is now high priced

saw some chevy plastic jets he did about 1950
they clip on over the little chrome bit on the hood
one guy is asking 800 each [ I have several]

others H O in very poor shape with pitted chrome they are asking $150 for
like the fire hawk bird I think that was a ford truck one of his last big sellers
he said the 10 buck H O would net him 10 cents each but if he sold 100k that was 10k $
at a time most skilled tradesmen made 1/2 that and that was in addition to he regular job

FWIW - Jay is on board with 'the tandem thing'

Jay likes anything weird and unusual. That’s where you go with a collection when you pass 50 or 100 regular cars and need something else to buy.
