One for Mr Z, Which film

[Lorry]

Borgward would be closer, but I think its obscure American, Olds or Packard, but its tiny, so it could be a copy.

[Leftie]

How about a Studebaker

[nopanic - neil]

Ok - is American - build early 50's

This is the Delux model - 6 cylinder. - 0 - 60 in 14 sec

They were even sold thur Sears catalog - and even had a special badged model.

The company mergered with people who supplied the engines, and was eventullay taken over by GM.

So who is and what is it

(note their are 2 names this is called but only one is correct - as that was what it was badged as.)

[Barry]

It's a Kaiser-Frazer Henry J Vagabond.

Sold by sears as an Allstate?

Haven't had many yellow balls, so one of them please Neil.

Well done Barry - I'll give you that one.

The car is -  Henry J - Model K514 Deluxe six cylinder

Details

The 1951 Henry J was introduced at a Chicago showing in February 1950 as the "Red Car", but was not officially on sale till Sept 28, 1950.  The 1951 Henry J is often described as “Spartan.”  This is an accurate description, at least for the earliest Henry Js.

The Henry J was manufactured using funding from a government loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corp. Part of the agreement was that the car would sell for $1300. To achieve this, features such as trunk lids and glove boxes were not included. Passenger side sun visors and twin horns were not included in the 4 cylinder models in order to meet the price of $1299 FOB.

Engines were supplied by Willys-Overland; the four cylinder motor was the same engine used in the CJ-3 series Jeeps with only slight modifications to component parts; the block and internal components were interchangeable with the CJ-3 jeep.

Frank Zappa recalls in his autobiography the torment and horror of travelling cross-country sitting on the bench-like rear seat of a Henry J (he called it an "ironing board from hell") in the 1950's.

Ok - now to the yellow ball - what can you tell me about it ?

[Doris]

I can tell you it's not yellow. 

Dx

[nopanic - neil]

I can tell you it's not yellow. 

Dx

its yellow-ish on my old monitor - 

[wishy]

On the other hand it could just be Niel's favourite colour

[nopanic - neil]

If you want a hint -  the car should be Red (and its not a Italian car)

?? -  so what is it ?

[nopanic - neil]

as it is orange, could it be a spyker???

OK its under the yellow file on my snooker table.

It's not a Spyker -  it is from a country that you do not associate super cars manufactures!

another pic (blue this time  )

[Leftie]

You got a great picture of Herman Munster there on the right, so the country would be the Czech Replublic.

I'm still searching for the car.

[Christopher]

That would be the Marussia.

A hybrid thing, making use of a Nissan 3.5 ltr engine.

The idea of Nikolay Fomenko (FIA N-GT driver).

Brown please. 

Doh! Should be red next!

Correct - well done - See Russian car should be Red, may be thats why the yellow looked a bit orange.
