"Love the Beast"
Eric Bana, Love The Beast
Actor Eric Bana always wanted to be a race car driver, and kept a musclecar for years... now he takes it on a rally race! 600 Hp at the rear tires!http://www.lovethebeast.com.au/ and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1284028/Via: http://stipistop.com/page/5/

The BMW 600, also known as the Isetta limo
Designed by Willy Black, the BMW 600 was intended as an enlarged Isetta three-wheeler with more power and a more conventional four-wheel configuration.The front end of the 600 was virtually unchanged from the Isetta, but the 600's wheelbase was stretched to accommodate four seats. A conventional rear axle was added. BMW introduced the semi-trailing arm independent suspension on the 600. This suspension would be used on almost every new model for the next four decades.
Because of extra size and weight, the 600 had a more powerful engine than the Isetta. The 600 had the 582 cc twin engine from the R67 motorcycle. Top speed was 64 mph.
In two years only 34,000 600's were produced, partly due to price competition with the entry-level VW Beetle. In the late 50's consumers wanted cars that looked like cars, and they had lost interest in economy models. Sales of the 600 were, however, aided by the energy crisis of 1956-57.

The normal 300 in contrast had top speed of 53 mph, and it got 63 miles per gallon. In 1958 you could buy one for $1,093.

Movie posters weren't too complicated in 1957
Girl loves hot cars and a rich dragstrip racer. Her parents don't like either one. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050337/
How did this not win the oscar for best screen play?
From the 50's, when tailfins were required for designs to sell (it seems)
If you wanted a boat that had the beauty of automotive design, but without the half way mutant looks of the Amphicar, or the Isetta boat http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/02/smile-this-coudnt-have-actually-went-in.html then thse boats look really good.
Neglected and forgotten cool cars
The above looks like its in the Lost Museum of Robert Lee in Brazil
The above appears to be one of the "Sleeping Beauties"
What a bedraggled pair of cool winged Benzs
Above, convertible Packard
Above, Dino FerrariGood stuff in magazines this month
That is one cool trick tool. Anyone needing an exact dimension from an edge has just learned an easy way to mark it off.
Never heard of the 1/4 horse. Trick name for a drag racing car though.
