Appears to be a Cheetah body. You could put those on Corvette frames. |

I see a 1981 De Lorean DMC-12… |

In background on the left, yes... I didn't notice it. no_car >> is there a better view of it? |

That was the first thing I noticed, but do you think its worth adding to the site? I mean its not that visible. However I guess it could be listed as a background car… |

That's why I ask to no_car if there is a better view. Maybe that at a time it is in the centre of the picture and then more visible. |

The gray car in the foreground looks like a 1959 Ford Thunderbird. |

The yellow car looks like some sort of Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa race car |

Ferrari Testa Rossa 3 litre 250 TR, 1953 |

Could you maybe explain a bit what you mean by that? |

The 250 TR (Testa Rossa) Spider Scaglietti appeared end 1957, and if that yellow thing is a 250 TR, then I need to change my poles of interest and to remain concentrated only on very special stuff as, f.i., Fiat Panda's and Alfa 33's... -- Last edit: 2007-01-23 22:10:04 |

I didn't say that it was that one, it is just that the style is vaguely similar |

Has some Testa Rossa styling cues: headrest, hood "bump", swept-under fenders. Shape of the nose does match a Cheetah*, but nothing else does. It could be one of the many home-built sports racing cars popular in the USA in the mid-1960s. *there were no Cheetah "bodies" for Covette framess...the Cheetah was a purpose-built race car with little in common with a Corvette except the Chevrolet V8. Only a handful were built before the shop they came from suffered a catastrophic fire. Few examples survive today. No Cheetahs were produced as open-cockpit cars, but at least one example was convered to a roadster during its racing career. And the T-bird is a 1957 |

The yellow car is an Ol' Yaller (or Yeller) Mark III, built by the Californian racing car specialist Max Balchowsky: http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z9249/Balchowski_Ol_Yeller_Mark_III.aspx |
