it's definitely a car from the USA
it's from the 50ies it has something to do with wood (sounds mystic to me, but this was a hint from the guy who offered this quiz) - I guess the name sounds like wood (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) any help would be highly apreceated ...

well I looked hard. I rules out GM for the corvette was the 2 door coupe. Ford had the T-bird... That left nash, (sounds like ash) chrysler, studebacker, and more... I am leaning towards chrysler/dodge... I have not found it yet... I do remember seeing this car on either my classic car or car crazy... I looked through those archives...no luck. I looked through my american cars of the 50's book....no luck... It has some flavor or chrysler though... Long v8, im thinking hemi... It is frustrating... If you have a frontal pic...that will make it easier... Pinan Farinin only worked for Nash in the fifties.. Rich |

1953 Dodge
Storm Z-250 Bodied by Bertone The Storm Z-250 was developed by Chrysler engineer Fred Zeder to evaluate the feasibility of producing a vehicle that would capture a portion of the growing American sports car market. Built on a rigid tube frame chassis, it was intended to be a dual-purpose sports/racing car. When raced, the comfortable touring body currently fitted could be removed by unscrewing four bolts and replaced with an ultra light 150 pound fiberglass body. The Storm did not reach production because high production costs would have made it too expensive to sell in profitable quantities. If series produced, the Z-250 would have competed with the Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Corvette, and Kaiser-Darrin. |

Ever seen a Jensen Interceptor?
I put a stereo in a guys Rolls last year, he has a Jensen Interceptor that Wayne Newton gave him. In 1973 the car was like $30,000.00 and was supposed to be seriously fast and a pretty good handeling car. Ever heard of this car? |

Jensens, including the Chrysler powered interceptors and the Lotus powered ones have the usual British car diseases....Girlingitis, Lucasites, and overweight problems. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dead horse.gif)
