The All New Guess The Car Forum - Same Same But Different

Is it a 1922-23 Aurel Persu

Here is a picture of one in a Museum

I don't know much info about this vehicle - most of what I found is written in Romanian or German (I can read Romanian & my German understanding is very minimal)

You Da Man! It's actually a 1923 Persu Streamliner. Designed and built by Aurel Persu in 1923. The Romanian Streamliner was considered a singular masterpiece designed and built by engineer AUREL PERSU. He studied from 1909 to 1913 at the T.H. Berlin, and among the first to apply aerodynamics principles to automobiles. Perşu implemented his idea in 1922-1923 in Berlin, building an automobile that could reach very high speeds for that time, and it could take curves at up to 60 km/h. It was the first car to have the wheels inside its aerodynamic line, which we take for granted today. The car ran for 160,000 km and can be seen since 1961 in the Technical Museum in Bucharest. Persu tried to keep the costs low and used production parts for this prototype. The engine was a four-cylinder AGA (Berlin). Persu conceived the car as a test vehicle, in order to sell it to an existing automobile company. This masterplan failed but the car is still in working order today.

Heres one that is a bit easier, I don't expect this to last very long.
I picked it because of it 'special' styling & the 'out there' attitudes of car designers of this period

Could it be a 1956 Oldsmobile Golden Rocket Concept Car?

Yella31 says:

Yep - I didn't expect it to be that easy!

Was this the car that inspired the batmobil? (or vice versa) - check out the back window & protruding 'rockets' from the rear end

Actually this is the car that George Barris turned into the Batmobile. As you can see he didn't have to do too much. LOL

How about a 41 Cadillac 60's Special or Coupe Delux?

08/09/2009 Tennessee

Camarrow84 says:

Well, the center window post tilts forward on the Coupe Delux and now that I look at it I see that it's a sedan not a coupe so I'll say It's gotta be a 60's special!
