Two brain cells left.. rubbing together for warmth
Huh, I guess I didn't realize that it's just a boring sedan underneath. There's a guy here in town who's got a Desoto Airflow, but it's been dragged through the summit catalog a couple of times. Mango and Seafoam paintjob, just to give you an idea.
Give me one of these! Rear mounted, air cooled V8!

It's a Tatra! The Czech Republic's best contribution to the world. I think this one is late thirties/early forties.
Interestingly enough, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche was sued by his former employer (Tatra) for cribbing their design for his Beetle. They continued making cars all through the Soviet era. Engines in the back, all of them.. The 613 was the luxobarge for the inner circle
The ambulance they made was also rear engined.. The patient rode on the doghouse. The world's largest collection of Tatras outside of CZ is at the Lane Motor Museum, in Nashville. Worth a visit.

Nah, they were ripping off their 603
2.5 liter air cooled hemi V8
Weighs about 400 pounds, giving the car 47/53 weight distribution.
