1934 EDSEL FORD'S Model 40 special Speedster  Drawn on computer.

The Speedster has a very long history going back to 1932 when Edsel Ford, then president of Ford Motor Company, returned from Europe and asked design director E.T. Gregorie to pen a sports car similar to the ones he saw running around Europe. It started out as a 1934 Ford, but was radically altered to make a low slung, two-seat sports car with technology that wouldn't appear on production Fords for many years. It originally weighed 2,100 pounds and was powered by a 75-bhp Model 40 flathead V8 that was later replaced by a 100-bhp Mercury V8.

Ford Mustang in "Stop violins !" Drawn on computer.

She had asked me to find her Stradivarius, a valuable instrument, in which she seemed to hold as the apple of her eye, which she had very beautiful besides...
But, seen the number of stiffs who marked out the track of the famous instrument, I began to wonder if the violinist rather was not playing me the pipe...

Lancia Fulvia Zagato  in "Miss Zagato" Drawn on computer.

'Miss Zagato'

On his sailboat she cleaves the waves
She flutters in the air, looping, roll
Monza or Interlagos, perfectly straight paths
And the Monte Carlo everyone knows
Miss Zagato, Miss Zagato...

Saab 900 Turbo 16 in "The perfume that kills" Drawn on computer.

Dream setting, dazzling cornice under the sun, the sea like a mirror. Two lower laces, I see the car fugitives, is still along the parapet overlooking the vastness of the sea. I have a horrible feeling, if one of them opened the vial OF PERFUME, I'll find two corpses arriving near the car ...
