I can tell it's a Kaiser but not sure of the model. A Traveler? A Dragon? Wouldn't you like to have a car called a Dragon? Kaiser had the most boring cars but the best names...Dragon, Manhattan, Virginian.... |

Here's another "Yank Tank"=>

...According to "Classic and Sports Car", dissapointed with an Aston Martin DBS he had just driven, Peter Kalikow of New York had a conversation with a friend, Alfred Momo, about how a car like that should drive. Momo ran a Jaguar garage in NYC. Kalikow wants a car built with Momo helping out. Reallllll short of it is they end up getting Stanguellini to produce the chassis (with a Jag Mk2 front suspension I learned), Frua to do the body with styling by Gene Garfinkle (U.S.) who had done some GM concept cars. Engine provided by GM. (In the article they say 5 liter but the specs in the same article show 5.7. One would have to assume a 350ci). What did it in is right when Frua doubled the cost and doubled it again (ouch) Stanguellini doubled the cost of the chassis........oh and they now had to buy their Chevy motors through the dealer rather than direct, increasing the price even more. He decided to kill it after 5 cars because he couldn't sell them at this new price. (This is from the April 2005 magazine with a Ferrari 308 and Acura NSX on the cover)
