I have been looking for Ford advertising in 1930's newspapers. I noticed that lots of manufacturers had utilities as part of their range: Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, International, Morris, Terraplane (Hudson), Bedford, Willys. I was surprised to see that there was also a DKW ute (two-stroke) in 1938. The link should show one or two survivors. (The link tells quite a bit about DKW's in Australia.)

SAAB had a two-stroke vehicle that was quite angry little one,
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/63/1b...7309347814.jpg Photo shows a 3-cylinder SAAB, the sports version with tripple carburettor ! They made a model 750GT with optional sports package, 55HP out of 750cc, They tried to rally with this, too little power, so they came up with slapping two of these together on each side of an angle gear, https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-pr...s-twin-engine/ According to the article they had a whopping 138HP and in total 1.5ltr, 'inline-6' engine in this little SAAB, 'The MONSTER'. I would have loved to hear an audio file of that thing coming around a rally track Cheers, |
