Enzmann 506 Cabriolet

The Enzmann 506 was produced in Switzerland from 1957 until the late 1960's. It was introduced at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1957. The company purchased new Volkswagen Beetles and removed the bodies. They refitted the floorpans with their fiberglass bodywork which was produced in a boatyard in Grandson, Switzerland. There were about 100 cars produced. Customers could also buy just the fiberglass bodies and assemble the cars themselves. Performance upgrades were as easy as they were on the Beetle and some owners installed Porsche 356 power plants. Apparently the bodies could still be obtained from the family as late as 2009.

Cami Terra Wind

The company's web page suggests that a Terra Wind built like the one featured in the video would cost approximately $1.2 million dollars. I find it hard to believe that there would be much of a market for a vehicle like this.

1952 Volvo Phillip concept

Volvo was looking to enter the American market and in 1952 they introduced the 3.6 liter V8. The Phillip looked like the brother of a 1951 Kaiser. While the car never made it into production Volvo went on to use the V8 engine in their Snabbe truck line.
