the 1969 Plymouth Super-Wedge

Designed by Harry Bradley, chassis and tub by STP built in Santa Monica.

The Super Wedge was designed to fit the stock block Plymouth engine with stock iron heads. However after the body was designed we switch to Weslake designed aluminum heads. These heads were very similar id design to the Gurney-Weslake heads, but were to fit the Plymouth engine.

 Harry Weslake designed, built and delivered these heads in less than 90 days, and they gave a power increase of over 40 HP. But they were too tall to fit under the Super Wedge body.

 Andy Granatelli was happy to exchange 40 HP for the trick body, but wanted the body on the car when it arrived at the Speedway. Andy knew that the body would generate a lot of positive PR. The engine with the Weslake heads arrived at the garage two days after the car.

The engine was installed together with the smaller body and the Super Wedge body was put in the garage and never seen again.

the Chrysler Norseman, a prototype lost when the ship Andrea Doria went down at sea in 1956

back when Chrysler was in love with Italian coachbuilders, like Ghia (the Dual Ghia of course). Well, who wouldn't be, most Chrysler designs had no imagination or pizazz

I was wrong to admire Vanvooren coachbuilders so much for the 1939 Bugatti, it's now obvious by comparison that they totally stole the design from Figoni et Falashi on the 1938 Delahaye

this is just design beauty, too bad more bridges weren't built for looks as well as function

Funkiest looking fire truck I think I've ever seen, 1937 Ahrens Fox Sedan Cab Pumper, built on a Schacht chassis and used a Cadillac sedan cab that was installed by S&S, a company that normally built ambulances.
