Fascinating! The nose seems reminiscent of a '55 Hudson Italia - did one influence the other? And overall there's a distant sense of step-down Hudson as well, at least to me.
i have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old GM Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
always use 1% two stroke oil in your fuel to prevent engine and fuel system wear and corrosion caused by modern E10 Eco Fuel! Its just too dry and aggressive to your engine and pump and tank materials. 2 Stroke oil neutralizes the acid in the modern eco-fuel.

"Ledwinka discussed his ideas with Ferdinand Porsche who used many Tatra design features in the 1938 Kdf-Wagen, later known as the VW Beetle. This is particularly evident when compared with the smaller T97 model which had a rear-mounted, air-cooled, flat-4 engine and rounded body styling. Tatra immediately started legal action, but the matter was not resolved until 1961 when Volkswagen was ordered to pay 3,000,000 Deutsche Mark in damages."
Yup Vladimir - that is what I meant. He travelled to Bohemia to work with Ledwinka, who had designed a rear engined floor pan car with undependent suspension. Which of course turned up 3 or so years later in Germany.

Yes I know that Tatra produced airstreamlined cars since the 30´s.
Tatra maybe the most innovative car brand before the war and slightly after untill the late 50s.

Porsch actually worked for Tatra for a while
but he took Volkswagen as a model
