The cars carried IzH emblems even if they were sold as Moskvitches in some countries. They were made in Izhevsk not in Moscow. Only the 1500 cc Moskvitch engine was, as mentioned, BMW inspired.
You'd better check the engine again as it should be a V8 instead of 6..these are nice cars. A friend of mine restored one. Some parts can be difficult to get but in general parts are quite easy to find in Czech republic.
Quillery was a French accessory manufacturer. They mostly made steering wheels (volant). I haven't seen a wheel cover before; I wonder if the centre section was originally part of a steering wheel.
I believe it actually is a Gräf & Stift. VK 1 and SR 3 models look a lot like this car. The fender tips are of different shape but the radiator, lights etc. match. Also if you take a close look at the badge you can see it is a typical Gräf & Stift triangle - even the last letters are visible.
Thank you. I just wonder if there was anything written below FARGO? It can't be seen in the picture. In an ordinary Fargo emblem there is 'Express' below FARGO.
I wonder if anyone had a picture or knew about the radiator emblem of Fargo Clipper or Packet? Is it different than in bigger trucks with "Express"? Just curious...
A friend of mine has a problem with his mid-1960s Fiat 1500 Cabriolet that was imported from the USA several years ago by somebody else. The car is now restored and needs to be registered. The car still carries the California licence plates from 1972. He has the bill of sale but the title has been lost! Is there anything he can do to obtain a copy of the title? Are there any authorities that can be contacted in California or..? The car can't be registered here without the title.
What makes you think that there are no other photos in Google? There are but it takes time to find the correct ones; when googling 1962 Toyota Crown you have hundreds of pictures of Crowns from 1950s to 2000s.
The station wagon looks like 1963...check 1962. I had some troubles to find a picture of 1962 Crown but here's one: http://bestcars.uol.com.br/cpassado3/toyota-crown-2.htm
