The car maker reacted to the then developing trends in a construction of motor vehicles. The most popular of them was the first Czechoslovak car with aerodynamic bodywork Wikov 35 “Kapka” (“Drop”). With this car, the car maker was willing to help with increasingly clear tendencies to adjust the shape of cars to higher speeds. Although this project was not successful and from the beginning was problematic from the point of applicability at the then road conditions, it showed one of the options of the future development of car bodywork. http://wikovveteranclub.cz/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/16.jpg The vehicle 35 “Kapka” (Drop), the first Czechoslovak car with an aerodynamic bodywork. https://auta5p.eu/lang/en/katalog/auto.php?idf=Wikov-35-Kapka-17243 Wikov 35 Kapka, 1931 Manufacturer Wikov Model 35 Kapka Year of production 1931 Start of production 1931 End of production 1931 Body type tudor Number of doors 2 Number of seats 4 Engine position front Drive wheel rear Fuel petrol Number of cylinders inline 4 Cooling liquid Capacity 1743 ccm, 105.9 cu-in Bore 72.0 mm, 2.835 in Stroke 107.0 mm, 4.213 in Compression ratio 5.2:1 Valve Gear OHC Valves per cylinder Fuel system carburator, 1 x Zenith Aspiration normal Max power [kW / PS / hp] 26 / 35 / 35 at 2800 rpm Max torque [Nm / ft-lb] 114 / 84 at 1600 rpm Total power (hybrid) Total torque (hybrid) Gearbox M3 Gearbox (option) Wheelbase 2800 mm, 110.2 in Front track 1280 mm, 50.4 in Rear track 1280 mm, 50.4 in Length Width Height Weight 1200 kg, 2646 lb Maximum speed 105 km/h, 65 mph 0-100 km/h Standing km Foto: Lukáš Hron, Concours d´Elegance Loučeň 2015 + archiv Auta5P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 ONE OF THE OLDEST CARS IN THE WORLD, 1887 De Dion, Bouton et Trepardoux steam quadricycle carriage. As steam engines reduced in size and improved in efficiency, a number of attempts were made to built a steam powered carriage. De Dion, Bouton and Trepardoux developed this steam powered carriage in 1887. Several examples were built. In 1889 Bouton saw a petrol engine at the Paris Exhibition and recognized that would be a more effective power source. De Dion Bouton went on to become a pioneering auto maker.

Pat Riot Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Nowadays cars and trucks all look the same, it seems. I have always thought the Clampett’s car from Beverly Hillbillies was a cool car.
