Is this a different Kaiser from the one you posted first...cuz this one looks like a Burton to me? : I'm all confused now.

Too many in the other post to think about....but off the top of my head, the first B/W is the famous Davis 3 wheeler.....

The 4th one is a Buick 'Cat'

The 9th one is Chrysler Flight Sweep (says so on the fender)...

IDK what the feck the last one is but it looks crazy retro!!!

The first one I put up was a kaiser too, but I could not see the pics when I previewed the thread. That is why the pic actually changed a bit. These are all concept cars. This makes things much more difficult!

When I found it with yahoo image search it was listed as a Kaiser, but it does resemble the Burton much more.

You mean of the ones I knew or all of them? IDK in any of the three I identified was built by Porsche. But out of all of them if I were t make a wild guess based solely on body lines it would be the little b/w pic just above the Flight Sweep....although I have no idea what specific model of Porsche it is. Just that raised 'spine' on the hood and the indented hub cap give off the old Porsche design vibe to me? I'm probably totally wrong though

My second Porsche guess would be the red convertible just above that one....but the whitewalls just don't feel Porsche to me.

TOTAL guess dude!!!

EDIT: Ok this one I got a little help from the Net, but it's still a guess. The front bumper (with the two metal 'bullet' leads on it for lack of a better word) as well as the big 'V' inside the grill reek of classic caddy design. Kind of like this:

1955 Cadillac Eldorado Picture, Classic Car Pictures

But those headlights and the main body line ('hip line from headlight to tail light) slightly curved stance are look very Fiat to me. Like so:

http://www.fiatpictures.com/photos/randyp.jpg

So, given that these are concepts like you said I'm going to say it's one of two:

1. A Fiat Spyder concept in collaboration with Cadillac?

OR (and #2 is FAR more likely as the Italians were way ahead in design and curved body panel manufacturing technology back in the day):

2. A Cadillac concept built in collaboration with Fiat?

Damn you and these super difficult cars to figure out!!! :
