A 276ci hemi, thanks!

A few more from the annual Lime Rock Labor Day show.
1) Three red Alfa Romeos surround a red Maserati
2) 1954 OSCA, a manufacturer formally connected to Maserati
3/4) 1951-1953 Jaguar XK120-C type. Only 53 made over that 3 year period

I had many company cars over the years of me working, and with them Ed we can't overlook one key thing. Being that you weren't paying for the repairs it was very easy to have the car serviced for every little thing. However, if it were your own car, you might be less quick to bring the car in, and just live with the problem if it weren't a major one. But, I never had a Chrysler Corp company car, so I can't say I'm speaking from experience, they always seemed to be Chevys. However, I have personally owned Chrysler Corp cars over the years and had reasonably good luck with them.

I think if you pulled up behind one of those at a light it's exhaust would melt the now plastic bumpers on most cars!

glad you liked them, thanks for your comment!

haha, killed the deal for himself!!

Thank you, at least 3 others were at the show that I did not post, including the turbine powered one and that awful looking Plymouth XNR

oh, it definitely did, and how about the name too, Bugatti Atlantic Type 57! Thanks!

well, they tried something else. Many of the cars that the Atlantic emulated were from the thirties, like some of the Bugatti's and Talbot Lago's from that period. There's an amazing similarity to those cars in the Atlantic! And, they all had inline 8's under the hood. So, what Chrysler did was to mate 2 Neon twin cam 4 cylinder motors together to produce their inline 8. And it actually pumped out over 350hp. But, a combination of the overly large wheels and tires being driven by a transaxle from one of their other cars basically strangled whatever power was coming out of that bastard inline 8 they cobbled together. For the most part every component under the body was nothing more than odds and ends from their existing cars, and handling and overall performance suffered because of it. Let's face it though, the car was never designed to go into production, it just had to sit at car shows and look pretty, and it did that very well!

BTW, a slant 6 did go into one of their concepts, the Plymouth XNR, but IMO, that car is hideous looking, and "they" thought it was sporty enough to compete with Corvettes and the earlier two seater Tbird! They had to be smoking something!

thanks so much, glad you liked!

yes, one sweet looking car, but according to the magazines and the test drives, after it's drop dead gorgeous lines it falls short on overall performance! But, with something that looks this good, who cares about performance! Thanks Alberio!

thanks kindly Bill!

thank you Larry, glad you enjoyed!

haha, sounds like a plan, nothing like a dual cowl with a separate windshield to keep the "noise" down!! Thanks

thanks so much Frank! At some point in the mid and later fifties the Adventurer became a very powerful car like the 300 Chrysler, hemi powered with dual 4 barrel carbs!
