Modern Mechanix - October 1955, The Aerocar from Argentina. Chevrolet 6 powering the propellor. The only bad feature is poor acceleration (??).

BTW, it isn't the year 1994. Photo of Mako shark was taken in NZ in 1925.

Who is the man with the fishing rod? (No cheating).....

Shoot, MrFire, wish you'd kept it going. I was going to say, MARLIN. Marlin Perkins!


Anyway, I got yer Mako Sharks right here!



'61 Mako Shark (aka Mako Shark I) prototype.
It was so well received on the show circuit, it
served as the springboard for the production
Gen-2 'vette Sting Ray. NOTE the six tail lights!
I'll have to look for a bigger pic, though. Too
small to do it justice here!



And the '65 Mako Shark II show car. Both Shark
pix are period factory promo pix and are in the public domain.
BUT, I THANK Wikipedia which displayed both photos!

 

Frank Gardner Sedan Racing Corvair as sponsored by John Player and its second incarnation as Allan Grice's ride under Craven sponsorship. This car and its drivers are legends down under, and swept almost every Sports Sedan race in which they were entered between 1975 and 1979. Powered by a Repco-Holden 308 V8 -- a cousin of the small-block Chevy -- the car used Formula 5000 chassis components modified from a Lola but retained the '65 Corvair steel body with fiberglass hood and trunk lids.

 

Okay! For everybody who considers himself
a mechanic AND loves the BRASS ERA, we give you . . .
well, BRASS!
