1944 GMC Pickup Street Rod - Custom Ex-Military 3/4 T Truck

General Motors didn’t offer trucks for civilians during World War II, which is why this custom 1944 GMC Pickup Street Rod is a former military truck that started as a ¾-ton truck.
The engine is a GM 350-cu.in. crate motor with a FiTech electronic fuel injection system and only 1,400 miles on it, according to the seller. The controls for the injection system are in the glovebox. The transmission is a GM 700-R4 Turbo Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic with a Lokar shifter. The engine breathes through Patriot ceramic headers and a Flowmaster dual split exhaust. The rear end is a 10-bolt unit from a Pontiac Trans Am.

1939 Bentley Corniche prototype (recreation).

The Rolls Royce Corniche draws its name from the experimental 1939 Corniche prototype. The name originally comes from the French word Corniche, a coastal road, especially along the face of a cliff, most notably the Grande Corniche along the French Riviera above the principality of Monaco.

The first car with the Corniche nameplate was a 1939 prototype based on the Bentley Mark V, featuring coachwork designed in collaboration with several third parties, most prominent of which acclaimed French designer Georges Paulin, built by Parisian firm Carrosserie Vanvooren.   

It undertook 15,000 miles of endurance testing in Continental Europe before being blown up by a bomb at a dock in Dieppe while awaiting shipment back to England. No production model was ever manufactured because of the onset of World War II, but the company registered the name for the future. The unique car was fully re-created by Bentley's Mulliner division to join the company's heritage fleet; construction of the recreation was completed in 2019.

Volkswagen Rometsch Beetle 4-Door

After WWII, when Rometsch started focusing on Volkswagens, they built this four door VW Beetle, which was used as a Taxi. The chassis was lengthened by 25cm. No German company was allowed to build any airplanes, therefore a part of the production of the Rometsch was given to Messerschmitt.

Volkswagen Motorcycle with Sidecar. There are VW tires on front and back of the cycle.  A VW Logo on the gas tank. It uses a VW Engine and it has ammo cans for saddlebags.
