I think Whopper got it right. It is a Ghia L6.4 and only 25 of the were built before production ceased in 1963. Nickname, "Chrysler Golden Lion"

 

Somehow I lost a decade there - LOL

Yeah I could see a bit of Barracuda in the rear quarter - and a bit of Chrysler further forward. What the heck happened to the 60"s tho? I somehow missed that whole decade.

 

That makes it your turn to post a car Whopper

 

Ok - how about this one?

 

Sunbeam alpine. A wild guess.

 

Nope - hint: note the dual exhaust (still obscure tho') - when I posted it, I thought it's kinda like a weird Batmobile

 

Probably, you did....
I was sitting in my basement.
I just rolled myself a taste
Of something green and gold and glorious
To get me through the day.
Then my friend yelled through the transom
"Grab your coat and get your hat son,
There's a nut down on the corner,
Givin' dollar bills away"
But I laid around a bit
Then I had another hit.
Then I rolled myself a bomber.
Then I thought about my mama.
Then I fooled around, played around
jacked around a while and then
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.

Whopper, I know this car. I have to think about it a bit. I remember thinking about how skinny the tires were and how extra wide the windshield looked when I first saw it. It seems to me that it was made for somebody or something to that extent. hmmmm????????

 

Here's a hink for you - well maybe a couple of hints:
- it was made for several years spanning 1960 (less than 2700 built) and I used to see the odd one around Victoria BC Canada
- top speed 123 - would hit 60mph in a bit less than 9 secs - which wasn't bad for that vintage


I was at a car meet a few years ago and came across a group of maybe 5 or 6 of them on display together - I just about fell over, as I hadn't seen one for a good 10 years.

I wouldn't call the car pretty by no means LOL, but was quite innovative in it's day.


Yeah that decade disappeared like smoke on the water

 

So, nobody is getting this one?????


It's a Daimler Dart SP250......

PROOF



Now I have to find something....... *grumble grumble*
