It was aptly named Valkyrie. Actually, a show car based on a Cadillac. Not affiliated with them. Designer of the Studebaker Hawk, too.

It's the Edsel that never was. Brooks stevens did design some decent looking vehicles however. The 1949 Harley Davidson FL hydra-glide, The Jeep Wagoneer, and the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile.

One of the famous hot rod tricks involved an engine swap to create the Studillac. One was mentioned in a James Bond tale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Appears the clutch, brake, accelerator and gear shift are positions as they would be for left hand drive. The gear shift no doubt scores a few leg bruises on new drivers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borg warner Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I've always liked Jaguars. I really liked the XK-120 through XK-150 Roadsters but I really like the XKE.s and it amazes me when I think back at how many of them were on the road where I lived in Southern Cal9iforna back in the mid-sixties when I was in high school and how they are considered somewhat rare today. The XKE's were pretty fast and lightweight with the Overhead cam six but more power is better and eventually they put a V-12 in the XKE but they also lengthened the wheelbase and increased the weight. Jay Leno has a V-12 XKE that someone shortened and lightened and boosted the horsepower of the V-12 and created almost the Perfect V-12 XKE. The only thing that would have made it perfect would be if it were British Racing Green instead of red. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
