The Meteor Rideau is a full-size automobile that was produced by Canadian manufacturer Meteor (Ford) from 1954 to 1961 and 1965 to 1976. It was named for the Rideau River, a river in Eastern Ontario, the province where the car was built. From 1957, the line included both the Rideau series and the higher-trim Rideau 500. The Rideau began as the top-trim level of the Meteor line, but beginning with the 1965 models, it was the lowest trim series.

2018 BMW M3 with Competition Pack. Top speed is a little lower compared to the V10-powered M6, but everyday usability is infinitely higher, 0-60 is much quicker, the 1/4 mile is much quicker, and the front end feels comparatively weightless, so turn-in is ... divine.
Coachwork by Cognolato in the style of Zagato
Meticulous re-creation of a lost Zagato design, certified by Zagato
'An absolute novelty presented by Alfa Romeo at the 1934 Milan automobile show was the latest creation of Vittorio Jano, the 6-cylinder intended by the factory and by its designer to claim the heritage of the prestigious Alfa Romeo 1750...' – 'Le Alfa Romeo di Vittorio Jano', Autocritica, Milan, 1982.
Introduced at the 1934 Milan Show, the Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 was the latest flowering of a noble line of sporting models that had originated in 1925 with the 6C 1500. The latter was the first true expression of the abiding design genius of Vittorio Jano, who had masterminded the Italian firm's meteoric rise to world-class stature in the mid-1920s. His P2 and Tipo B Monoposto racing designs proved virtually unbeatable at Grand Prix level in their heyday, while his family of six-cylinder sports-racing cars has passed into the annals of motoring history as the standard-setter of its time.
The 2300's newly developed six-cylinder 2,309cc engine featured an integrally cast crankcase and cylinder block topped by an aluminium-alloy cylinder head. Two basic specifications were available: the Turismo model with a long-wheelbase chassis, and the Gran Turismo with a shortened wheelbase. In 1934, the 6C 2300 made an auspicious competition debut in the inaugural 'Giro d'Italia - Coppa d'Oro del Littorio', a race held in three stages over a total of 5,687 kilometres. Four cars with open coachwork by Brianza were entrusted to Scuderia Ferrari, which collaborated closely with Alfa Romeo on competition matters. The engines were equipped with a new inlet manifold, two 35mm Solex carburettors, and twin 3-into-1 exhaust manifolds. Thus equipped, the engines produced more than 100bhp. Other changes made to the cars included a higher final drive ratio; Bosch electrics with a second battery; an enlarged fuel tank; two fuel pumps; and the addition of a rev counter. Alfa Romeo suffered some bad luck in the course of the race, as the leading car driven by Marinoni had an accident in the second stage. However, the other three cars enjoyed more success, with the Rosa/Comotti car finishing 2nd overall, and the others finishing 4th and 5th.
The model's definitive success came at the 'Targa Abruzzo - 24 Ore di Pescara' on 12/13th August 1934, when three Touring-bodied coupés finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd with the Cortese/Severi car winning against stiff competition from the Lancia Astura driven by Pintacuda/Brivio, who had won the previous Giro d'Italia, and the two Alfa Romeo 8C 2300s of Tazio Nuvolari and Guy Moll.
Capitalising on this success, Alfa Romeo decided to build a series of 60 Gran Turismo cars with the mechanical specifications of the racing Berlinetta, and with various types of coachwork ranging from saloons to open spiders. These cars were called 'Pescara' to commemorate Alfa's racing successes. They were the predecessors of the new Touring-bodied 6C 2300 B Mille Miglia models that debuted at the 1937 Mille Miglia.
The car offered here is a re-creation of the racing Siluro commissioned and campaigned by Jacques de Rham, the enthusiastic young son of a Swiss nobleman and landowner. In 1935, de Rham, founded the 'Scuderia Maremmana' racing team in Grosseto, Tuscany. Only 26 years old, he had a great passion for all things mechanical. FIAT and Maserati were among the first motor cars bought for his racing stable, but he mainly favoured Alfa Romeo, buying them from Scuderia Ferrari. Clemente Biondetti drove de Rham's Alfa Romeo P3, finishing 4th overall in 1936 following victory in Rome; De Graffenried drove his 6C 1750, and finished 7th overall with the 8C 2600 at the Mille Miglia.
Jacques de Rham also purchased two Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 GT Pescara models - one from 1934, the other from 1935 - both with Berlinetta coachwork by Touring, and campaigned them in various hill climbs in the first months of 1937. He decided, though, that the cars were too heavy to be successful, and had them sent to Zagato in Milan for the fitting of Siluro-type aerodynamic open coachwork in aluminium. The result was an impressive weight saving of some 300kg with the total weight remaining under 1,000kg. Zagato delivered both cars at the end of May 1937. At the same time, the engines were improved by the installation of new Borgo pistons.
The cars made their racing debut at the 'Grand Prix de Provence et de Marseille' at the Miramas circuit, where Carlo Pes de Villamarina finished 1st in class in the third race. Other placings followed in various hill climbs, where the cars were campaigned by Jacques and his friends. The history of Jacques de Rham and his Scuderia Maremmana has been meticulously documented in an Italian-language book by Daniele Cantini.
Sadly, neither car has survived, and we owe this Siluro re-creation to a lifelong Italian Alfa Romeo enthusiast and collector, who in this case started with a complete, matching numbers, 1934 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 7th Series GT Pescara Berlina with coachwork by Touring. The car was completely dismantled, and the construction of the Zagato-style Siluro body was entrusted to no lesser coachbuilder than Dino Cognolato of the Carrozzeria Nova Rinascente in Padova, Italy.
One of the world's finest coachbuilders, with a lifetime of experience in the craft, Dino Cognolato carried out all the work himself. Starting from 1:1 scale drawings based on historic photographs, he constructed the entire aluminium coachwork and designed from scratch small details such as the door closures, etc. At the same time, the chassis and the mechanicals were overhauled, and the engine dynamometer tested. The engine delivers a highly respectable maximum of 119bhp at 4,500rpm, which in combination with the car's low weight of only 989kg results in breathtaking performance. The project took more than four years to complete, since when this stunning Alfa Romeo has covered a mere 94 shakedown kilometres.
Recently, Zagato invited this Siluro to attend a gathering of Zagato-bodied cars to celebrate the presentation of the new Maserati Mostro prototype by Zagato at the former Alfa Romeo test track at Arese. It will be offered with an official Zagato certificate; a Declaration of Authenticity, signed by the former president of the National Technical Commission of the ASI; a comprehensive photographic documentation of the restoration and reconstruction work; California Certificate of Title; and Italian import documents relating to the donor car's importation into Italy from Switzerland.
As it has a genuine Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 GT Pescara chassis, this car is potentially eligible for a wide range of prestigious international events.

An optimal use of the interior space has always been an important theme at Renault, even long before the Espace. This car, developed in conjunction with the Italian coachbuilder Ghia - went very far in this. The cabin is spacious and airy the engine is at the back.

The Phantom Corsair is a prototype automobile built in 1938. It is a six-passenger coupé that was designed by Rust Heinz of the H. J. Heinz family and Maurice Schwartz of the Bohman & Schwartz coachbuilding company in Pasadena, California.
Although sometimes dismissed as a failure because it never entered production, the Corsair is regarded as ahead of its time due to its futuristic features and styling cues such as faired-in fenders and a low profile.

Der aus dem Jahr 1938 stammende Phantom Corsair war hinsichtlich Design, Technik und Luxuriösität ein futuristisches Automobil, ein sogenanntes „Car of Tomorrow“.
Verantwortlich für dieses Fahrzeug war Rusty Heinz, ein Mitglied der „Ketchup-Dynastie“ (die Familie Heinz wurde durch den Verkauf des gleichnamigen Ketchups reich). Aufgrund seines frühen Todes durch einen Autounfall wurde die Serienproduktion dieses Autos niemals aufgenommen.
Seine im Windkanal getestete Aluminium-Karosserie war ihrer Zeit um circa 50 Jahre voraus und zeigte für die damalige Zeit einen beeindruckend niedrigen Luftwiderstand (cW-Wert). Motorisiert war der Wagen mit einem 4740 cm³ V8-Motor mit stehenden Ventilen, der eine Bruttoleistung von 190 PS lieferte und das Fahrzeug auf Grund seiner günstigen Aerodynamik auf bis zu 209 km/h beschleunigte.
Die Sitzplatzaufteilung war ebenfalls sehr ungewöhnlich: Mit seinen 1,94 m Breite sollte der Wagen vorne nebeneinander vier Personen Platz bieten - einer links und zwei rechts vom Fahrer. Hinten gab es noch zwei kleinere Notsitze mit dem Rücken zur Fahrtrichtung.
Das heute einzig existierende Exemplar steht in der Harrah's Collection in Las Vegas (Nevada). Außerdem ist der Corsair unter dem Namen „The Flying Wombat“ einer der „Hauptdarsteller“ in dem 1938 von David O. Selznick produzierten Film The Young in Heart mit Janet Gaynor und Douglas Fairbanks junior.

Carrozzeria Touring is an automobile coachbuilder established on March 25, 1926 in Milan, Italy by Felice Bianchi Anderloni (1882–1948) and Gaetano Ponzoni. Carrozzeria Touring became well known for both the beauty of its designs and patented superleggera construction methods.
After achieving success through the middle of the 20th century, business began to decline as automobile manufacturers replaced body-on-frame automobile construction with monocoque construction and increasingly took coachbuilding in-house. The original firm ceased production in 1966, but Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni and Carrozzeria Marazzi preserved the "Touring Superleggera" trademark and used it on several occasions to support the company's heritage. The trademark was purchased by the current owner, Zeta Europe BV, which resumed business activities in 2006 under the name Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera s.r.l. The firm is headquartered in Carrozzeria Touring's hometown of Milan, Italy and operates under Head of Design Louis de Fabribeckers.

The New Class
The BMW 1500 was the first model of the so-called "New Class", an entirely new type of automobile : sporty, compact, functional and versatile. Having met with a very enthusiastic response when first showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1961, its excellent sals figures finally put the company in the black once again. In hindsight, the BMW 1500 marks a key turning point in the history of the BMW group.
