Casper Friederich Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) 1931 Horch Straight Eight. Because the large american cars were so popular German manufcturers tried to copy them. Another Company, Adlerwerke, orientated with the model Standard 6 towards the new and cutting edge Chrysler. The even more stately Standard 8 followed in 1928 Professor Gropius modernistic coachwork renderings on that chassis have been shown earlier in this thread.

Casper Friederich Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) 1913 Opel with lovely coupé body by Weiser & Sohn from Vienna.The smaller photo explains why the porthole in the side window is needed, it's for hand signaling!

LCK81403 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The 1907 Adams advertisement is interesting. "Pedals To Push" is a interesting term with an unclear meaning. ? Is that a selling point or a limitation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a delear's car as it advertises the marque on the fuel tank? The second photo is taken a little bit later that same summer, at the Austrian Alpine trials. It is nowadays assumed that this Bugatti owned by J. Weiler has survived, at the restauration in Danmark in the 60s the Type 15 with chassis nr 446 was given a rudimentary coachwork in the style of Mercer 35 or Stutz Bearcat...

I think you stumbled into the extract problem with the Packard Straight Twelve, though I am sure it seemed like a good idea at the time (that said though they already had made the first generation Twin Six from 1915 to 1923 ish and should have known better). This is the FWD (Front Wheel Drive) prototype - they made at least two of these engines (one for this car and they hauled the other one around to auto shows and ... on a stand for eons - it still survives and is on display at the Packard Museum in Dayton, OH). Here is a photo of the Twin Six prototype engine still on its original display stand Edited July 10, 2020 by John_Mereness (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
