1958 AC Aceca Bristol Coupe
England
The Aceca coupe was produced from 1954/63, a fastback version of AC’s Ace roadster. Built as an exclusive Grand Touring car, the Aceca featured a curved windshield and a hinged rear hatch.
Like the Ace, the Aceca had the same sporting independent suspension and lightweight aluminum body that made the car so popular. 151 were built with the 90hp 1991cc 4 cyl AC engine.
From 1956, a further 169 were built with the more powerful 125hp Bristol 2000cc engine.
And in 1961, 37 were built with the 170hp 2600cc Ruddspeed Ford Zephyr engine.
Carroll Shelby in America was approached to install Ford V8s in the AC, now called the AC Cobra, available in small block and later big block configurations
