Yeah, it is an awkward-looking auto, ain't it? Here is an interesting article on it. When it was built in 1921, it was the most expensive car in the world. They were asking $25,000 when a new Rolls Royce was only around $10,000. https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-profiles/heine-velox-victoria/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt Meister Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I really thought this was photoshopped before I looked around a little: 1937 - 1940 Brauks-8 735cc These little cars were built by George Brauks from St. Louis, MO. He built his own 130 cubic inch flathead straight 8 engine, the body was made by shortening and narrowing an unknown sedan then adding the front sheetmetal from a 1937 Hudson Terraplane. The rear part seems to be a 1936 DeSoto. The entire car was narrowed lengthwise on the centerline to create a narrow body width. Photographed in Bozeman, MT at the Cruisin on Main car show. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that they were ever imported into the United States. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a nice color for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Those last three, the Standard, Austin and Ford just scream post-war British automobile. They all have a certain style to them. Though they may not be beautiful, I don't believe they deserve to be in the WTF category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have a certain style to them. Though they may not be beautiful, I don't believe they deserve to be in the WTF category. Oh, I do like them. I put them here because they are little known to most Americans and their look is unusual to most folks here. 'WTF' covers a lot of ground, not all of it bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Could those tail lights be any smaller? Based on the filler cap, the gasoline tank is the first thing there in a rear collision. Ford borrowed the engineering 20 years later. England: boiled, tasteless beef and ugly automobiles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The wind shield frame is too tall and too thick. I would hate to see it with the top up. That dead straight, thin molding down the center of the slab sides is just not interesting at all. Sort of divides ho hum in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a pretty obvious color mismatch between the rear quarter-panel and the door. Whoever did the paint match on that partial respray must have been half blind. It is a really simple problem to avoid. Sloppy work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAKA Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I saw my first TESLA TRUCK a few days ago, looks like someone had a few sheets of stainless steel and welded it together in their backyard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
