[Steve Pyro]

Steve,

On the advert it states it is a DeSoto Plymouth.......what more can I say

Utter bullshit    Not in the advert I'm looking at http://www.zanesville.ohiou.edu/emedia/Advertising%20archive/images/desoto%202.jpg

Also, not according to my point of reference http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Catalog-American-Cars-1805-1942/dp/0873414284

[nopanic - neil]

yes utter bullsh*t sums up this quiz occasionally, you see, we have another bloody three wheeler

Rubbish - it had 4 wheels, but you know about the speed bumps around here - 

[nopanic - neil]

well the answer is:-

  Cirbin V13R the three-wheeler sports 

See even with you missing one wheel - you still got it.

And your choosen colour ?

[nopanic - neil]

a very large black one please

I bet you wish that you had not chosen that colour

One BIG black one for a BIG 7 points.

Diffrent this time, who is driving this car?

Strange I know, but is a very well known person - everyone has heard of him!

Might give some clues later, but will try with out. - also gives me a bit to time to raid the cellar for more pics, have to be careful more spiders and mice down there as is so cold outside.

This is a very rare picture, as he did not like driving much.

WHat can you tell me about this one, what, when, why and where is it now?

Not much, but I need a bit of time to leg it down to the vaults in the cellar again, and its bloody cold down there!

That looks like The Antarctic Snow Cruiser, built at the Pullman shops in Chicago late 1939.

It is believed that the idea for the vehicle came about when Dr. Thomas C. Poulter was unable to travel 123 miles to rescue Admiral Byrd due to the inhospitable conditions in the Antarctic.

It was relocated in 1958 under many feet of Snow and Ice. Current whereabouts is subject to conjecture. It was either taken from the Antarctic by the Soviets during the Cold War, or it may still be buried under the Ice, or, more likely, it was in an ice floe which broke away and and thus would now be somewhere at the bottom of the Southern Ocean.

I also believe this vehicle featured in one of Clive Cusslers Dirk Pitt adventures.

Pink ball please.

[Nordic]

What an amazing thing, I thought it was from some thunderbirds type program, never imagined it had been built!

To fill in a few gaps, the whereabouts of the cruiser are unknown, some say its in the USSR but most likey its now on the ocean floor after it was abandoned by the research team in the early 40's before being found again in the late 40's then lost for good.

Don't know if its a colour photo or a colour drawing, but there are some B/W ones here....
