Another underrated piece of machinery.

 

[MisterWaffles]

Truth is, there are more desirable options from the time period. This one doesn't do anything particularly different or interesting, so meh it is.

 

[Parker]

Only 200hp from a 9.4L V12 AND wire wheels!? Seriously uncool.

 

[Tornado]

The problem with prewar cars in general is that they tend to blend together. They were mostly coach built along the same design ideals, and the people who could tell you why a Hispano Suiza was more desirable than a blower Bentley or Cadillac V16 or Packard or whatever firsthand are long since dead.

 

[Heldenzeit]

That fastback is really pretty. Cool!

 

[Obelisk]

Only 200hp from a 9.4L V12 AND wire wheels!? Seriously uncool.

Duesenburg beat it...

Regardless, it's automotive history. I think it's cool.

The kind of car Dirk Pitt finds long abandoned in a barn while running from this installments baddies. Somehow he easily cranks it up, then trashes it in the usual "thrilling" chase. The car then gets restored in the epilogue.

I do quite like the look of the '30s luxo-barges so I will go with cool.

 

[TheCracker]

Vintage car. Uncool.

 

[Adamgp]

There are many other cars of this era I would choose over this, but it still gets a SZ.

 

[Matej]

I had to vote Uncool. There are better vehicles from this period.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Sub-zero. Eeeaaasily.

 

[TexRex]

Not my favorite.

Duesenburg beat it...

Handily--and with smaller displacement and fewer cylinders. Of course Duesenberg also managed to embarrass it with a little something extra...

 

[Cano]

Automatic sub zero. Hell I hit sub zero before even being sure which Hispano it was, as I sincerely don't remember the designations. But it's a Hispano.

 

[Mike458]

Not my favorite.

But... 9.4 liter V12...

(I seriously don't care for the severe lack of power the engine produces... 9.4 liter V12 is automatically SZ IMO)

 

[GranTurismo guy]

*Everyone looks at car*

Super high cool

"Oh, you like the wheels? It has a 9.4 litre V12"

Subzero AF

 

[Glacia316]

>Wire wheels
Already cool af. V12?

You know where this goes.

 

[Turbo]

I'd look so baller driving one. SZ.
