What Am I? Greasy Side Down
Welcome back to our Monday morning game of zip gun tag– also known ’round these parts as What Am I? Today, you get to take a look at the dirty underside of this car and figure out the make/model.
What am I? Comments below.
Ok.. here are my observations:
No Muffler in sight, which means its all behind the rear axle = small engine
What first appears to be hydraulic brake lines look like sleeves around mechanical brake cables. At first I figured it was an e-brake, but no other lines visible = small light car
Appears to be a single leaf spring – again suggesting small, light car
Lots of rust, even on the frame rails which almost look like small I-beams.
Drive-shaft appears to have a rag joint in the front instead of a u-joint = again
small light car
Exhaust exits on the right side, which if built for a polite society, it should be pointing away from the curb..
This would seem to suggest a British/Australian car.
Tires have tall sidewalls but look like fairly big tires, suggesting its some obscure 4-place family car instead of a sports car.
Man, is the right answer gonna hurt! (Clearly, I am no Sherlock Holmes)
