Nice! I didn't know the name existed pre-war. I went to a car show a few years back, and they had all these Imperials that I'd never seen, also a lot of 300s. Chrysler kind of gets overlooked in the classic car history, in my opinion. Not all of them are pretty by today's standards, but people seemed to like'em back then, and they moved.

Maybe Mr Leno can enlighten you:
"It was not meant to be a racing bike", so no chance of seeing it racing at the Isle of Man.
Friedl Münch was involved with tuning '50s Horex racers though.
Road version for Jean Murit, 500 ccm engine, Münch brakes, Magnesium swing arm, first regular street motorcycle made by Friedel Münch presented by Motorrad Fuchs Osnabrück
Kinda looks like an '80's Jag XJ morphed into a '68 Camaro front end.
This one will really make you scream:
Münch Mammut 2000 2001 4 cyl 1998cc 2712 - Yesterdays
"two litre, four-cylinder turbo machine with 260 hp @ 5650 rpm, a torque of some 380 Nm@ 3500 rpm and a top speed of more than 250 km/h"
"16-valve Cosworth cylinder head. Turbo-charged at 13 psi. Peak power is given at only 5650 rpm, although the engine can safely rev to 8500. Electronically limited to 156 mph to satisfy the gray men in Brussels, this bike would otherwise top out in sixth gear at a modest 172 mph (go ahead, cut that red wire, and bolt that dinky 30-tooth sprocket on the back–we dare you!)"
THROWBACK THURSDAY: Friedel Münch Strikes Again
Yep, the C7 is the very last front engine mounted Vette. So good chance it will be a future icon.
I meant tp post the new electric 'Vette if that's not it. I had two friends express to me recently that they are now down with electric cars,now that an electric Vette exists.
I goggled Electric Corvette. The photo you show is a modified C-7 chassis outfitted to be electric by an outside company other than GM. That said, I understand the GM is working on their own electric design with the C-8 chassis. If that comes to market, it will be on the C-8 body style below.
People must be talking about this one. These are pics I took at the Lingenfelter garage.

A few years ago my SO and I were at a private dinner party at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum where they had a large display of stainless steel bodied cars; a Gullwing was among the lot of them.
