Iskra Mitica

1968 Iskra Mitica

The Iskra Mitica (sometimes spelled *M**ì**tica* or *M**í**tica*, with variations on the emphasis on the first "i") is a performance coupé designed by Iskra and manufactured from 1964-1973. Intended to compete with similar offerings from Serafini and Di Inferi, it used various Serpent engines and drivetrains which fit Iskra's lower budget. The car was designed by Iskra founder Iskra Oscuro.

The Mitica was introduced in 1964 as a 1965 model year, and was produced till 1973. It underwent various changes throughout its lifespan, most notably a facelift in 1971 which introduced hidden headlights and a more streamlined front.

## History

Previously, Iskra had been known for producing the well-received Canaria, but founder Iskra Oscuro had his sights set on competing with more high-end luxury 2-seater sportscars. The Mitica was developed from the Serpent Lancehead's engine and drivetrain, namely a 4.9 liter V8 engine. The low cost of using Serpent engines and transmissions kept the Mitica's cost to develop much lower than that of its competitors.

## Performance

### Top speed

~108.4 - 113.2 mph

The Third Generation Govenant was produced from 1990 until 2009. It was once again, also very successful, and once again modernized the outdated design of the previous generation.

It could do light offroading thanks to the 4x4 Layout. In 1998 the required third brakelight was added to the design. 2003 changed the standard interior to have a CD-Player rather than cassette player.

B.C.CO Empennage

A promotional photo of the Empennage, recovered from the fire.

## Overview

The B.C.CO Empennage was B.C.CO's disastrous attempt to enter the passenger car market through a deal with Hawthorne Motorcars Inc.. Very little is known about the Empennage, as B.C.CO has worked very hard to erase the car from public memory. No cars are confirmed to exist, but one prototype is rumored to have not been in the infamous factory fire in late 1988. Most of what is known about the car comes from a clay model and a few promotional photos salvaged by a firefighter, as well as accounts of negotiations by [Name needed], then owner of Hawthorne's assets.

## Powertrain

The Empennage was powered by a 3.1-Liter "Ramjet" V6. Design and production were contracted out to UK-based Chumley Peters Foundry, who are more willing to supply information about the engine. Their famed lack of quality made the engines cheaper for B.C.CO even factoring in shipping. The transmission is an automatic of unknown origin, likely bought from another manufacturer.

## Failure

While the build precision was excellent due to being assembled on a leftover jet engine production line, the Empennage had several glaring flaws. The abundance of low-quality materials, ugly styling, and an uninspiring engine led to the prototypes' failure. "They were calling it an executive sedan, but the interior looked to have been outsourced to Fisher-Price, or perhaps the Bureau of Prisons," remarked [Name needed] in a rare interview.

## Conspiracy Theories

Due to the mysterious circumstances surrounding the Empennage, conspiracy theories about it are abundant. While it is almost accepted as fact that the factory fire was intentionally set, some people have wilder ideas. Most theories involve the location of the prototype thought to have survived, with claims ranging from Scott Travis' estate to a barn in the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana.
Coronet Imperious

The Coronet Imperious was a sports car made by Coronet. Production started in 1983 and was sold from 1984 until 1989 over two generations. It was a cataclysmal failure.

## First Generation

## Body and chassis

### Suspension

## Performance

### Top speed

~ 108.3 - 108.5 mph

The first generation Imperious was produced from 1983 until 1986, and was sold from 1984 until 1986.

   The car was praised for its styling and good looks, however it was also condemned for its awful performance, which was anything but sporty. Taking 15.2 seconds to get from 0 to 62 mph, and having a top speed of around 108, it was considered a very awful sports car.

## Powertrain

### Engine

TechRide

The first generation was received very poorly. In an attempt to revive the idea, a second generation was put in place by Coronet, focusing more on a "Luxurious" Sports car, in which performance could be more forgiven. But alas, the second generation was also a failure, only going for 3 years. Almost everyone hated it except the few poor souls that bought one. Both had their advantages over the other: the first gen looked more sporty, while the second was more comfortable and luxurious. Either way, both failed at their main premise: being a sports car. The idea was forever abandoned after the 1984-1989 Imperious ran its course.

Elijah J. Crapper II

Elijah J. Crapper II in 2000.

Elijah II once again followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, becoming the owner of Crapper Motors after his father William stepped down on November 13, 1984, at age 65. While this time, 8 years, may not seem like a very long time for William to own Crapper Motors, in reality he had been working with his father for 8 years prior to 1976. He also wanted time to settle down as he was getting older. Elijah II was 38 when he stepped up to his father's job, starting on the new year, January 2, 1985. However, he realized the job was ruining his relationships and his life, since he was so obsessed with the job, so he persuaded his son to take the job on October 28, 1990, after Elijah II left on August 27, 1990. For the several months in between these two dates, Elijah II still was overseeing the company, just not as owner.

## Early Life

Elijah II graduated high school in 1964. He went off to college, and graduated in 1968. He learned the ins and outs of Crapper Motors through his grandfather Elijah, starting in 1968. After his grandfather's death in 1976, Elijah II's father William started to teach him how to run the company until 1984.

Elijah II married Linda A. (Amy) Ruth (B. June 24, 1947, D. August 23, 2019, Age 72) on December 15, 1967.

Elijah II had 1 son, Scott, on March 13, 1969. He later also had his daughter, Jessica E. (Edna) Crapper, (B. July 6, 1989, D. June 28, 2074, Age 84), who became a nurse.

Elijah II very much loved Crapper Motors, and in fact was already working with his grandfather Elijah and his father William since 1968. Elijah II was known to be obsessed with the company, in fact, so much so that when he had his daughter, Jessica, in 1989, he did not even pay much attention to her, or his wife. This led to his wife threatening him with divorce in October 1989, leading him to realize the importance of his family. He left his position as owner of Crapper Motors on August 27, 1990, staying for one year to figure out where the company should move forward. He was very saddened to have to leave his spot as owner of Crapper Motors, but later came to appreciate the time he was there, and the impact he had in the 5 years he was owner.

Elijah II had a 1989 Crapper Motors Metron CH-X as part of his personal collection, in Quartz White. He used the car on a daily basis until 2008.

## Later Life & Death

After stepping down as owner of Crapper Motors in 1990, Elijah Crapper returned to his home to help and be with his family. He supported his son until his death in 2020. He was known to take up golfing as a hobby.

He later died on May 12, 2020 due to complications with the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Disease.

Helron EF7500

Affectionately named the Flattruck, the EF7500 is famed for its shortness

The Helron EF7500 is a mid engined heavy duty truck also called the "Flattruck". The truck was built this way to tackle smaller areas that have lower roofs. Despite this, the truck saw a lot of mainline commercial use in lower income areas, due to its larger tires and locking diffs. The truck was also used by several racing teams to carry several cars

Crapper Motors RAVIOLI SE

A RAVIOLI SE in a parking lot in 2018.

The Crapper Motors RAVIOLI SE was produced as a limited edition vehicle produced from October 9, 2018 to November 23, 2018. It is the result from the merging of Thiccboi and Crapper Motors, after Thiccboi declared bankruptcy that year, September 4, 2018. With Crapper Motors and Thiccboi collaborating on the engine, and Crapper Motors taking inspiration from Thiccboi’s original design, the resulting RAVIOLI SE was undoubtedly a much better car than the original. With planning finished on October 6, 2018, it was one the fastest-ever planned vehicles by Crapper Motors. Only 100 were ever produced.

## Design

The design of the car was much improved from the original, however still outdated looking for 2018. The design got rid of the donut wheels, side stacks, and ugly front fender vents. Thiccboi Design still had some creative freedom, however, retaining some other design elements from the original like the small grille and secondary headlights.

## Powertrain

The engine in the RAVIOLI SE was substantially upgraded from the original, making 165.3 horsepower, making 158.1 more than the original.

Crapper Motors Ibo

Front of a 1965 Crapper Motors Ibo.

1 Year into the 1960’s, Crapper Motors’ new car was ready for production, planned in May 1960, and first starting production in July 1960, it was simple and cheap to make. Starting in 1961, the Ibo was a microcar. It very closely resembled its competitor, but with added features and benefits, such as 2 doors, a more powerful engine, ability to reverse, etc.. The Ibo also came in the Luxury Variant, adding in chrome accents and a more "luxurious" interior. Production of the Ibo ended in 1966.

## Design

The Ibo featured reverse lights and rear turn signals as standard from 1965 model years. The engine was fitted in front of the driver's compartment. The cars were known to be prone to being front-heavy, causing safety concerns. This, coupled with poor sales and an ugly design, lead to the car being discontinued in 1966. The only reason for it's prolonged production run was due to it's oddity and popularity with various celebrities and Hollywood movie stars buying them for their strange and unique appearance.

The Ibo's interior could (somewhat) comfortably seat one person, and could very uncomfortably seat two people. A simple dash was included. Basic door cards and sliding window cutouts were included, no power windows or window cranks were available. The car had a basic parcel shelf in the back. A simple button-snap fabric roof was included.

## Crapper Motors Euro Ibo Model

The first vehicle produced under the newly-founded company was the 1961 - 1966 Crapper Motors Ibo, a Microcar. It was virtually identical to the US Ibo with the exception of a UK license plate holder on the back.

Iskra Bull

1965 Iskra Bull

The Iskra Bull is an exclusive sportscar designed and produced by Iskra between 1965-66, to a total of 10 units. It was meant as a homage to Norwegian violinist and composer Ole Bull, hence its name.

## History

Iskra Oscuro, the founder of Iskra, had long been fond of classical music, and as such wished to commemmorate his favorite composer via a car. The prototype was drawn up and various designs were tested in the early 1960s, before a general consensus was reached in mid-1964. Production began in January 1965, and the ten Bull units were built sporadically from then until September 1966, when the final model rolled off the line.

The Bull uses a space frame chassis with double wishbone suspension on the front and rear. It uses a hand-beat aluminium body, with a Di Inferi 3.2 V12 mounted far back in the front of the car, resulting in a front-mid-engine layout. Di Inferi was originally hesitant to provide engines to what would in essence be a competing model, though agreed when the low production number was revealed.

The Bull's body is extremely aerodynamic and sleek. It has a small front lip, and two large intakes encompassing the front bumper. The front arches are molded inward for better heat dispersion, and the intakes behind the wheels also help with cooling. The cockpit is rather compact and sits very low. The rear of the Bull is quite conventional, with two horizontal taillights angled to provide an angry look. The rear bumper is cut off in the middle by the license plate space.

The main attraction of the Bull is the lower side panels - the right of which contains the first line of Ole Bull's "I ensomme stunde" (La Mélancolie). The left side contains a written elegy to Bull and his work.

## Legacy

The Bull, with its high price, specific target demographic and low production, struggled to sell. The last model was sold in 1970 to a businessman from Tokyo, who later repainted it white. It has more recently come into attention and has begun fetching significant prices at auctions, though it is still rather unknown outside of car collection circles due in part both to its rarity and the limited reach of its maker, Iskra.

Avis Explorer

The Avis Explorer was a Conversion Camper produced from 1981 until 1990. The design remained largely unchanged since its debut until the end of production.

## Features

Features and amenities included a separate bathroom unit with toilet and shower, a kitchenette with stovetop and microwave, as well as a sink, a pull-out sofa, and a table seating arrangement. Hookups for electricity were provided on the left side of the camper, at the back, as well as for water. Sewage hookups were hidden in a panel below.

A spare tire was provided on the rear of the van, and a ladder was attached on the left side of the back, for access to the roof and AC Unit.

The front cabin of the van was known to be sparse, and also unique in it's design. There was no access door to the rear camper section, and so thus a center console did not exist, instead it was moved up in front of the dashboard in the center of the vehicle. AC Controls for the front vents and a radio were included, as well as a small storage cubby.

The instrument cluster was also notably sparse, with only a speedometer and rpm gauge on the main cluster area. The steering wheel column contained the turn signal and wiper stalks.

The handbrake was positioned right next to the driver's seat, as to make room for people to pass from the front cabin into the camper area. The shifter was also moved to the left of the center console, and angled slightly. The Explorer was infamous for this strange layout concept. Simple wood trim lined the dashboard.

Power windows were never an option on the vehicle, it only ever came with manual, roll-up windows. The front seats were adjustable, however the passenger side had a flaw of not being able to move back all the way due to one of the table seats blocking the back of the passenger seat from moving back any further.

A refrigerator was included in one of the lower cabinets of the kitchenette. There was no bathroom sink, the kitchenette sink was the only sink in the camper.

## Powertrain

The van was known to suffer from performance and power issues, being powered by a 2.0L I4 Engine. The van made 11.7 mpg and 62.2 hp.

## Sales

The Explorer, despite these downfalls, was a very popular and successful camper. It sold well throughout all of its years of production. It sold for around $13,300 in 1983.

Avis Eagle

A 1989 Avis Eagle, Front View.

The Avis Eagle was released after the Explorer, starting production in November 1988 and being sold from 1989 to 2001.

This new car from Avis was seen as a vast improvement from the Explorer, which by the late '80s had lost a significant portion of it's popularity. To offset this, Avis released a new camper, the Eagle, in 1989. The Explorer went out of production a year later in 1990, as the new Eagle was gaining in popularity.

The Eagle saw many improvements over it's predecessor, including multiple entrances. On the Explorer, there was only the 2 front doors, and with no way to get in to the rear cabin otherwise, one had to climb into the back between the 2 front seats. Because of this, Avis had to design a unique and awkward center console: instead of having any controls on the center console floor area, like a shifter, they were all smushed and mashed together on the dashboard center console. The gear shifter was relocated to the inner corner of the driver's right-side footwell, an awkward position.

On the Eagle, however, this issue was solved, as there were now 2 side doors and one rear door that acted as access points for the rear cabin. However, the one drawback with the design was less space for furnishings, as there needed to be room to enter in front of the doors. However, the Eagle was using a brand new platform, with a larger design, so this wasn't much of an issue.

Avis also installed a brand new engine on the Eagle, replacing the Explorer's outdated and slushy engine.

Other improvements included a separate bathroom sink in the bathroom unit. In the Explorer, the only sink was in the kitchenette. Another much-appreciated addition to the Eagle was an upper compartment in the van, consisting of two beds on opposite sides of the camper, with blankets and surrounding windows. A ladder on the side of the bathroom unit wall in the kitchenette area was provided to access the upper loft area.

While space was very tight, it was still positively received, as the Explorer had no beds, just the 2 front seats, 2 table seats, and a sofa which acted as a pull-out bed with a blanket. Albeit, the Explorer had more seating than the Eagle, but the Eagle had more bedding, therefore winning out.

Hookups were placed in a similar location as they were on the Explorer on the Eagle, on the exterior of the van, on the rear left side. However, they were now hidden beneath a panel, out of view. An AC Unit was included on the roof of the Eagle, and a spare tire on the rear of the van, on the fake left fixed barn door, adorned with the Avis "A" Logo.

Overall the campervan was very positively received, outliving the Explorer both in years and age, lasting past 1990 and longer than the 8-year run of the Explorer, lasting an impressive 12 years.
Iskra Canaria

1962 Iskra Canaria Coupé

456cui Serpent V8

3-spd Automatic

The Iskra Canaria is a sports coupé designed and manufactured by Italian manufacturer Iskra between 1962 and 1970. It was the first luxury production vehicle produced by Iskra, with all previous luxury models being restricted to concepts. It was also the first Iskra production vehicle to use a V8 engine made by American manufacturer Serpent.

## History

Having seen the rise of manufacturers such as Di Inferi and Serafini through post-war Italy, founder Iskra Oscuro was adamant about the company producing a luxury grand-tourer to rival them. After experimenting with various bodies and engines, the Canaria was finally presented in 1961 to positive reception, with production beginning in early 1962.

The engine was originally planned to be built in-house by Iskra, but this proved to be expensive - molds were purchased to produce V12 engines, but none were ever built. With no readily available engine, Iskra chose to supply the cars with various Serpent V8 engines, which proved to be a cheap yet controversial option. The Serpent engines were reliable, but were also criticized as being "crude" and "brutal". Regardless, the use of various American engines, especially Serpent, would come to define Iskra cars.

As for the body, it was designed in-house by Leone Rua. Capitalizing on the popularity of aggressive cars in the early 1960's, Rua scuplted "eyebrows" above the headlights which gave the car an angry appearance. Furthermore, the body itself was fairly streamlined and made to be aerodynamic, increasing top speed.

The Canaria received a minor facelift in 1964, where the front "eyebrows" above the headlights were made more distinct and somewhat more protruding. Otherwise it remained unchanged, both internally and externally. Even so, later on in its lifespan the Canaria would become available with various transmissions, including a 3-speed automatic as well as a 5-speed manual.

Production stopped in mid-1970, having been produced concurrently alongside its successor, the Sperantia, since 1969.

MDS

MDS' Badge.

MDS is a car manufacturer that was founded on May 3, 1970. The company specializes in off road vehicles and SUVs.

## History

MDS was founded on May 3, 1970 by  José Ortolano. The company was known to have a downhill turn starting in the late 80s and early 90s , particularly 1987 and 1991, which almost led to the bankruptcy of the company, and which led to a slew of poorer or cheaper quality cars. While this led to MDS losing most of its original demographic, it opened up opportunities for poorer areas to purchase their vehicles, and helped keep the company afloat. As the company regained financial stability, they slowly turned back to making higher quality vehicles in the 2010s.

He grew very proud of the company after 3 years of working at the company, and planned for his next vehicle in January 1993, starting production near the end of the year in early December 1993. Said car was the 1993-1996 C 1-3, a sedan marketed towards families. It was nothing more than an average family sedan, with 3 trims. The Base, base model, the S, or sport model, and the LX, or the luxury model. The vehicle ended production on December 13, 1996. Plans to make a C 1-4 for 1997 were discussed but never carried out, as the Frenzy was proving more popular by 1995 and 1996. However, this did lead to the creation of the Koala, a car now known as the Aubergine, in April 1998. Plans to continue to name were abandoned in 2007 with the starting production of the Crapper Motors C-1, as to not cause confusion.

The **Canadian B-Series** is a series of light-duty trucks marketed and manufactured by Canadian since the 1946 model year. The B-Series is marketed as a range of full-sized pickup trucks positioned above the Canadian Rifleman in the Canadian truck lineup.

The B-Series trucks have been developed into a wide range of design configurations. Alongside medium-duty trucks and "Large Career" conventional trucks, the model line has been marketed as a chassis-cab truck and a panel van. The B-Series has served as the platform for various full-sized Canadian SUVs, including the Canadian Markham and the Canadian Contender.

The most popular version of the model line is the B-290 pickup truck, currently in its 8th generation. From 1950 to 1983, the entry-level B-Series pickup was the 1⁄2 ton B-2900. The B-290 has a long-running high-performance off-road trim level introduced for 2009, the (Velocity) Predator currently consisting of three generations.

Since 1976, the B-Series has remained the best-selling pickup truck line in Canada; it has been the best-selling vehicle overall since 1980. As of the 2017 model year, the B-Series generated $48 billion (~$68.2 billion in 2023) in annual revenue for Canadian. By February 2023, the B-Series models have sold over 60 million units. Currently, Canadian manufactures the B-Series in six separate yet linked facilities in the United States and Canada.

## Overview

### Production

1946-1949

After World War II, Canadian's war time effort toward producing Avro Lancaster bombers, jeeps, tank engines and other military hardware ended. When civilian passenger cars and trucks were put back into production, Canadian produced the same truck and car design since 1940. After the 1945 Model Year was introduced, a completely new design was planned, which could appeal to various applications, extending further than just having a single purpose.

For the 1946 model year, Ford introduced the first generation of the B-Series trucks. The first-generation B-Series pickup (known as the Canadian New Generation Line) was introduced in 1946 as a post-war replacement for the previous car-based pickup line introduced in 1940. The B-Series was sold in eight different weight ratings, with pickup, panel truck, cab-over engine (COE), conventional truck, and school-bus chassis body styles.

The new trucks were introduced in late 1945 (going on sale January 16, 1946). Standard features included, ashtray, glove box, and driver's side sun visor which was unusual on trucks at the time. Options included the "Visi-Clear" windshield washers (operated by foot plunger), yellow fog lights, passenger-side windshield wiper & sun visor, and reverse lights. The B-2900 truck was also available with additional stainless steel trim and two horns as an option. All B-Series truck were available with optional "Huronelev Four Wheel Drive" until 1950.
