Nice work Paul.

These both made me smile:




Looking at these photos reinforces my opinion that while modern cars
may be better engineered, they lack style.

Nice work, Paul. That just seems like a lot of fun. My
friends from Detroit always tell me about the one out
there and how I'd love it.

But one question. Where are all the Mopars?

Thanks for sharing Paul. I liked the Ford Coupe and the Chevy very 
much. I am not sure that the bubble car is Messerschmitt either, the 
logo does not look right. Isetta maybe?

Re: GESO: The Dream Cruise, 2006

[Paul Stenquist]

Thanks Brendan. There were numerous Mopars in the cruise. I just didn't 
happen to shoot them this time around. With four lanes of traffic, you 
can't really pick and choose. You watch for a car in the clear, and if 
it's nice you fire away. I spend just a couple of hours total shooting, 
so I gets what I gets:-). Plus, a few years ago I did a cruise article 
for a Mopar magazine, so I shot nothing but Mopars. Perhaps I'm 
unconsciously weary of them.

I don't know what that itty bitty car is. I think Isettas have a 
different shaped door and they're not quite that tiny. Unfortunately, 
the pic is a bit shaky. I was shooting slow-shutter pans, and this guy 
pulled up in front of me moving quite slowly. So the shutter was at an 
1.8th of a second.

Paul,
A nice group of photos and a trip down memory lane.
(I learned to drive on a '54 Oldsmobile.)
Plenty of good car shots and lots of people stuff too!
It's nice to see the enjoyment the event generates.
And the panning makes the shots more exciting than a straight snap.
Regards,  Bob S.

Thanks Mike. You nailed it. It's obvioulsy a Peel Trident. Quite rare too based 
on the article you cited, which puts total production at approximately 45 cars. 
(Using the word "car" rather loosely. It's really a dovered motorcycle.)  I 
wonder what one of these is worth? Probably not much, but it's certainly a nice 
conversation piece.

I ran across one of these a few months ago at the Palo Alto concours.
It's a Peel Trident - a late '60s vehicle produced on the Isle of Man.
A grand total of 47 were manufactured, according to the car's owner;
I believe the one I saw was from the end of the production run.

Pleasure.  I thought I recognised the sort of "rising sun" emblem.  I 
remember reading about them when they first came out

Rarity in microcars is a sort of given.  Probably, there are more solus 
examples of microcar production than any other sort of vehicle because 
they were often made by the archetypal crazed inventor in their garden 
shed in very low numbers.  This one is doubly so because, unlike most 
micros that used pre-existing engines, this uses one that is also rather 
unusual.  The belt drive is of the double pulley, one expanding one 
contracting, variable transmission type developed by Daf and, 
eventually, Ford.

I'm not sure it is long gone, Godfrey.  There is an old industrial  
building across the bridge on the other side of the harbour from the town  
that has been used for boat-building and various other things in recent  
years.  If the building you can see in the film is actually the factory,  
then it's still there.

Interesting slice of history.  The old fishing village of Peel is not the  
place you would expect to find making cars.  Though cars might be rather a  
big word for them.

IIRC, government funding was involved.  Which may explain a number of 
things.

Thanks Mike. You nailed it. It's obvioulsy a Peel Trident. Quite
rare too based on the article you cited, which puts total
production at approximately 45 cars. (Using the word "car" rather
loosely. It's really a dovered motorcycle.)  I wonder what one of
these is worth? Probably not much, but it's certainly a nice
conversation piece.

I have a number of pictures of that part of town but none of them  
include anything that looks like that building. No matter, I hang out  
in Peel for a bit of the time whenever I'm on the Island ...

 Fourth image down, in their home environment.  The P50, their
 progenitor, is in the third one down.
