What kind of Gullwing car is it?

[steel-and-fire]

In Brooklyn, NY there is a guy that has an awesome house.
Think of like a movie themed restaurant but on a random street.
Next to it are a few cars.
One is a gull-wing and I can't figure out what it is.
Got any ideas?

The black car with the Batman stuff on it is a Manta Montage. The other one behind it that you're looking at is a Cimbria.

Man you are good!

[DMCVegas]

Thanks, man. I just have a love of odd and obscure cars.

To me the Cimbria always has much nicer lines than the Aztec 7 kit car.

Of course if Gullwings aren't you thing (which would be unthinkable on a DeLorean board :wink:) You could always go with the Cimbria's cousin, the Sterling Nova that opted for a canopy instead of doors.

And to think the Delorean is criticized for being difficult to exit in the event of a roll-over.

That Sterling Nova reminds me a lot of the Probe 16 (better known as the Durango 95 from the film version of A Clockwork Orange)

Beautiful car.

Wow, I must admit, even I did not know the answer just by looking at the picture. :shhh:
And yeah, those Probes are pretty cool. Only a few in existence if I'm not mistaken.

Exiting the car in the event of a rollover isn't a concern with this car anyway. That canopy is fiberglass so you'll just be crushed to death.

holy hell. i saw one of these in Kingsport, TN in the mid-'90s, and ive always wondered what it was. it was a mystery to me for nearly 20 years, but now, thanks to you, Vegas, i wonder no more.

i am quite grateful to you, sir. bravo. :aniclap:


p.s...Michael, if youre reading this, have you ever seen it around town?

[Bikercmbc]

My brother saw it at a car show near gatlinburg at the tn smokies stadium. He said it was a white one. Don't know if thats the same one you saw

[dvonk]

nice! the one i saw was indeed white. when did your brother see it?

[Bikercmbc]

I believe it was summer 2010. He didn't know what it was and was asking me about it. When they come up for sale they don't bring too much money, like around 5 or below. I've also seen a black one in Maryville but I think he was just in town for the rod runs in pigeon forge. I've though about buying one of the sterlings before but they are usually in rough shape

Wasn't sure what thread to put this in, so here it is.

It's a Ferrari Thomassima 3, apparently. I'd never heard of it before someone sent me this picture recently. Located in the Ferrari museum in Modena, Italy.

[Dangermouse]

Wow, those door frames look flimsy.

Wow, those door frames look flimsy.

Wow I'm surprised the window doesn't shatter when you close the door.

[jawn101]

Sure is beautiful, though.

The car is the first pictures (from 2012!) is a Fiberfab Aztec 7, not a Cimbria!
