Guess the Horseless Carrige Manufacturer

[Sixty8panther]

Guess the manufacturer:

- One of their cars had a four piece rear window. (4 individual pieces of glass)

- In the early 1950s they won the "Fashion Academy Award".

- A post war vehicle made by this brand had front & rear fenders that were interchangeable.

- One of their most recognizable cars featured a twin-port grille & super aerodynamic nose.

- They made a car during the muscle car craze with a Fiberglass body & forced induction.

Duh, I dunno. Packard.

It's so obviously a Studebaker.

Yeah... Buick61 seems to be right. Appears to be Studebaker...

1953 Fashion Academy Award winner...

And that is one sweet Stude. Studebaker started out making horse-drawn wagons and such, too, from what I foggily recall...

Yes, even the title of the thread was a little bit of a giveaway.

Studebaker was THE ONLY car manufacturer that started out

making horse drawn carriages and transitioned successfully

into the horseless kind.

Still unanswered:

- A post war vehicle made by this brand had front & rear fenders that were interchangeable.

- They made a car during the muscle car craze with a Fiberglass body & forced induction.

Well....Studebaker and Pontiac.

It was the Familia concept. Never made it to production.

- They made a car during the muscle car craze with a Fiberglass body & forced induction.

As far giving less info., well I want to make the trivia more

accesible to the forum. I'll try to make the questions

tougher then, a few times recently (Auto Union & Plymouth)

it took a while for the question to be answered correctly.

I guess I just never took notice. Interesting.
