" i'll give you hint, they have something in common with Porsche's."

The builder failed to employ corrosion abatement metalurgy to its cars and subsequently, there are not many early models left for people to recognize. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm guessing they're aircooled, which means it's a Franklin?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Yes Dave guessed it 1929 Franklin. Pretty cool cars, and ahead of their time.

Dave your up.

No clue about the year or anything else, just the builder. And that, only from the hint you gave...

Saw one of these on my way to lunch today. Had to read the label to see WTF it was.

(BTW, I wouldn't mind seeing someone figure out that "pod car", either.)

This one should be easy for you guys. I really, really want one of these. I am trying to figure out how to get one here. So much hassle to import cars to the US.

I am not sure if there are any SP2's here. They are not really that expensive in US dollars. I know they are pretty much all in Brazil. I know a few may be in Europe. I will own one before this decade is out.

I have spent hours looking for that egg shaped car.

It's getting my goat.

Can't wait for someone to come up with the right answer.

My guess is that it is a one or two off car.

It is experimental or was a prototype for a car show.

The body work is pretty crappy. That tells me, that More Than Likely, A big player didn't make it. or the photograph and shading makes it look like wavy body work. (dunno)

The interior seats are sweet. That tells me it might be a movie car?
(Then again....prolly not)

It has side markers. That tells me it might be a US built car.

And I am making up all kinds of shit in my head to help find the manufacturer of this thing.

Maybey it's a Gustl 45B tri-clops. I simply dunno...
