I think I recognize that from a video game. It's TVR Tuscan?

You must be a big Grand Turismo fan too, eh?

 

You sir, are up.

Alex, I don't think anyone is going to get that car. No offense to ghost works, but I don't think that is a production automobile. I have a feeling that's a custom show car.

Why don't you throw out a new car.

no offense taken

 

still though...

 

I can't believe you guys are such quitters!!! wink.gif

 

(and BTW I saw no mention of 'it's gotta be a production car' in the OP http://www.rushmessageboard.com/cpmb/public/style_emoticons/default/poke.gif )

You got any specifics on the engine? Straight 8?

I will say this:

 

> it's currently in a museum

 

> it was built on a Buick frame

 

> 3.5 litre engine

 

 

 

 

...come on, guys!

Ghostworks appears to be MIA.  Does anyone else want to post a car?

I will defer posting a new car to the rest of you until the last car I posted is guessed (or you all give up biggrin.gif )

The closest thing I can find is either an old Desoto Cyclone or a newer Buick Blackhawk. I have to go home now, so I'll try again tomorrow. bekloppt.gif

I know it's not the same car, but it's close.

I saw that one while searching too, but I have a feeling the one we're looking for is from the 30's or 40's. But the Blackhawk is cool!

Indeed.

 

I'll post the answer tomorrow!

...it's been pretty quiet!

 

I guess I'll fess up and post the info on that whale of a car I posted:

 

1938 Arzens La Baleine

 

"The first thing you notice about the 1938 Paul Arzens La Baleine is the length, it is over 22 feet long. Paul Arzens was a painter who wanted a car that would hold all his painting equipment."

 

http://www.kitfoster.com/images/2010-1-29_BalineLRWeb-Large.jpg

 

"...constructed in 1938, it shows subtle clues of its origin as a 1928 Buick..."

 

http://www.leblogauto.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/pascal_michel/arzens_la_baleine_1.jpg

 

"This car of french production is unique in style and size ( about 7 meters long) Paul Arzens (1903-1990) was a painter and designer and built this car for himself on the basis of a Buick Standart of 1928.

About 1/3 of the total length was used as a place to store the canvases and painting materials of the artist. The car has the nickname 'The Whale'..."
