Please tell me where you took these photos? My grandfather had a Tatra. It'd be kind of neat to see one in the states.

I must've incorporated it from somewhere else The references I can find about that lead to Jay Leno's video on it: http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/at-the-garage/antiques/tatra-t87/ 5:10

A C130H needs between 1400 and 3500 feet to take off, and air dropping your 5 tonner (would it fit?) would be badass.

Slavvy posted:Air cooled, all alloy OHC v8. In the 40's. Legendary. Actually they came out with that engine in 36, which makes it wicked ahead of its time. Also it has a fully independent suspension and a stupid low drag coefficient on par with a prius. They also made a base model with an air cooled flat 4 (sounds and looks familiar?) which predated the VW Beetle. Tatras were so far ahead of their time. I view their demise as one of the greatest tragedies of WWII, right up there with the holocaust, firebombing cities, and the rape of nanking. I like to think that they would be on par with Mercedes/BMW/Audi if they weren't caught up in stupid world war. Make awesome cars, not war. They also made a race car.

It looked like window screening to me, but I might be wrong. The minivan every AIer with children needs (Mazda 1st-gen MPV), unless they like previas instead. You could get these in AWD with a center diff lock (AKA true 4x4) and... a manual transmission. Available until something like 1998 or 1999, too.

Here is the full collection of footage from the Operation Credible Sport tests (Without that stupid narrator or goofy music over the top): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMrSaJsIKr4 It's even crazier when you read what they were actually planning on doing: Wikipedia posted:The Credible Sport concept called for a modified C-130 Hercules cargo plane to land in the Amjadien Stadium across the street from the U.S. Embassy and airlift out Delta Force operators and the rescued hostages.

Anyone else think the wheels don't really add anything to the design? It makes it look a little cluttered.

It looks like they took a 2-door Buick LeSabre T-Type, cut off the front clip and welded the front half of a 4-door LeSabre to it. While still using the T-type cosmetics up front.

I briefly confused this for the Autozam AZ-1, and it made me sad that we can't get them in the states. Why are all the gull-wing door cars so expensive or unavailable in the US?
