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

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.)

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 ? |

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.

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. Come to think about it why is there no orange ball in Snooker? Ok on to the next one Red Ball - corner pocket - What can you tell me about this one |
