Yes FalconGeorge i'll re-post it here. Are they both Lampredi engine jobs from same year? So how about Bugattis?- Jean's 57's are obvious. However check the wicked flow on father Ettore's Brescia models ( hoping folks can find 'swoop' in vintage cars..heck, I can see it in a 1903 Mercedes).
One of my favourites, Hispano-Suiza T68 bis: And the rear three-quarter has always been to me the Jaguar E-type's best aspect:
Agreed Nedd Ludd ( I can see one with spindle kidney beans & 15x10's) Invictas, American Underslungs- the Thomas Flyer. Le Mans Bentleys. W196, 500 SL's. SS100's. Straker Squire. Ruxton. The little A.C.cobra. hot rods- '40 coupes, aussie slopers.
Delahaye's have that fast swoopy feel Talbot Lago I feel is the slipperiest looking coupe ever I love the front ends of 50s, early 60s Ferrari's they have that at speed look Alfa Romeo Ralph Schenck's streamliner Auto Union Chet Herbert's beast 3
This is my buddy Bob's 36 Ford that he made into a cabriolet from a ragged 3W cpe. We call the car "Swoopy" so I thought it should merit a posting. All home built and homemade. Great car!
Looked everywhere for a picture of Bill Mitchell's retirement car, to no avail. That thing makes a boattail Riv look like a London taxi. Bill Mitchell=Swoopmaster General. The Tjaardas are pretty damned close to the brass ring too.
1967 Bizzarrini Strada 5300. The visual impact of this car is always so much less in my photos than seeing the car in person.
Nice Cars! My favorite has to be the Alfa Romeo, because it's understated. The Talbot Lago is OK, but a little too much. Talbot Lago I feel is the slipperiest looking coupe ever Alfa Romeo [/QUOTE]
Alfa Romeo had some serious swoop going on in the 1950's. 1956 Alfa Romeo 6C 3500 CM Superflow II 1955 Alfa Romeo BAT 9
It's the 1948 Timbs Buick streamliner. Basically a hand built car by a normal dude (no big financial backing) that ran a straight 8 powerplant. Pretty cool huh?
