@roo_44 thank you for this! Sorry I've been a bit absent. I appreciate the share
David WilkinsToday, we move on to the third generation of the #Vauxhall Viva, the HC, the best indirect evidence that yesterday’s #Opel Ascona was originally intended to be the third-generation Kadett. The first two Kadett and Viva generations moved closely in step in terms of model cycles and general dimensions. The Ascona and the Viva HC both appeared in 1970, and are almost exactly the same size. Conclusion: Ascona is probably the lost Kadett. Pic: #BritishMotorMuseum #WeirdCarMastodon #davidsdailycar
1957 Dual-Ghia Convertible
This was the product of a two-year joint venture between Italy's Ghia and Detroit's Dual Motor Co.
Between coupes and convertibles, a total of 117 units were built from 1956 to 1958. I've read that there's only 30 or so still in existence. Not sure if true or not 🤷♂️
Either way, they now going for roughly $300,000 - if you can find one for sale
1970 De Tomaso Mangusta
The Mangusta started as a collaboration between De Tomaso and Carroll Shelby. The object was to create a Can Am race car.
The project was abandoned when Ford approached Shelby to create a Ferrari beating car for Le Mans, which Shelby accepted.
De Tomaso then re-directed his team to use the work done to create a mid-engine GT street car, which resulted in the Mangusta
1980 Saab 99 Turbo
The 99 was the predecessor of the 900 although it continued to be built alongside its successor for several years.
Perhaps one of the prettiest cars ever to be considered a failure in automotive circles, at least from a commercial point of view
