1972 AV Empire The Empire was about the only competition for Cadillac in the 60s and 70s. While BMW and Mercedes were busy producing little economy cars in Germany, and Rolls Royce was living off the word of yesterday, Cadillac and AV USA were battling outright over who was wider, lower and longer. It only slowed down to an eventual end after the passing of the EPA Clean Air Act in early 1973. Cadillac's peak of extravagance was the El Dorado. AV's was the Empire. Lincoln bowed without a convertible version of the Continental. The Empire featured a choice of two engines - a 5.0 litre V8 or a 8.0 litre V12. Of course even if you aren't a fan of those with open tops, a hardtop version is also available. 1975 AV Spider Remember the days of relatively inexpensive convertibles that didn't sound like vacuum cleaners, didn't break the bank with insurance premiums, but loved to be thrown through corners on a second's notice? Well, here they are again. A timeless classic, esquisitely reproduced by AV reminds us all how wonderful the Alfa Romeo Spider truly was. The powerful but still efficient overhead cam 2-liter four does just as well on today's roads as they did more than a quarter century ago. Drivers needed immediately, and we guarantee you won't regret it. 1949 AV Esquero If you're a fan of the classic days of motoring, but like the comforts provided by, say, a real convertible roof and roll-up side windows then we have your wheels sitting right here. The classic and singular AV Esquero proved to be a most worthy competitor to the "everyman's sports car" - the MG TC. If you haven't driven anything with manual steering and brakes recently we strongly recommend you come on into the dealership and become reacquainted with your own driving roots. Your choice of interior uphostery and convertible tops to match. 1975 Krome Stratos It was in 1974 that the World Rally Championship received a jolt that would revitalize the racing league and push it towards the place it stands today. That jolt was caused by the breath-taking Lancia Stratos. Purpose-built is an understatement here. Every aspect of the vehicle was engineered for ultimate domination of the WRC circuit from the 3.5 liter V8, magnesium wheels, and ultralight body panels. And dominate it did, throughout the 1974-1976 seasons. The engineers at KromeAuto have done their utmost at preserving an example of this most amazing piece of automotive history and art. We here at the BAP Dealership are privelledged to carry such an esquisite beast in our inventory. As always the link takes you to the manufacturer's website. 1987 Krome Portsmouth Not everyone on the face of the earth wants the ultimate driving vehicle when living in areas where the crooks are smarter than even the smartest cars. The Portsmouth provides excellent transportation value at a very reasonable price. Engines range from the more economical 2.5 V6 through a 5.2 V8 which is slightly less economical. A very wide range of option packages are available from the manufacturer to suit your needs including automatic climate control, leather interior trim, and your choice of wheelcovers. Visit the manufacturer to view specific price and availability information. 1935 Krome Seux In the golden age of motoring, anything with a beautiful coupe body and generous engine ruled the road, and the Seux is not one to be left out. In the days of early car manufacturing when gasoline quality was a question, engine compression ratios were kept low in case poor fuel was used. Thus the only 125 horses from the 4.6 liter straight eight looks poor by today's standards, but there's nothing there that a mild massaging can't repair. What could be more exhilerating than hearing a burbling exhaust through a louvered hood and behind a brass dashboard? Drive something different. 1993 Ross 911 Cabriolet What else needs to be said about an absolute automotive classic? Where else can you find such a refined boxer six engine? Or what about a rear wing large enough to be used as a dinner table for eight? How else do you describe a sporting convertible that's been through nearly 30 years of enhancement and refinement to the point you see here with more power under the hood, better handling, more convenient and comfortable controls, and a smoother transmission? Here she is folks, ready for your driving enjoyment in shine or rain. 1968 Shakur Classic You see them everywhere in our cities - low riders with complex hydraulic systems for bouncing to the grocery store and back. Until now that's about all you could do with them, since the systems of such could not be used with shock absorbers. Thus driving at high speeds was even dangerous due to the unstable manner of the cars. Now that's changed. Jigga & Kreyz have brought out their own extended suspension system that keeps the body planted via a magnetic fielding device so highway speeds can be obtained safely. If you've always wanted one of these crowd attention grabbers but been skeptical about their driveability, your worries are ended. Drive or bounce one away. 1986 Krome 944 Originally produced beginning in the early 1980s, the 944 provided a reasonably priced sports car to those who liked the lines of the 928, the singularity of the 911, but couldn't afford either. Originally derrived from the 924 of the 1970s, the 944 was far more refined and powerful. Engines available were either the normally aspirated or the turbocharged 2.4 liter inline 4. Mated to the slick 5-speed manual, these small sporting machines were capable of accelerating to sixty in around eight seconds. 1977 Calypso 280Z If ever across the face of the earth there could truly be called a 'poor man's Corvette' this most certainly would be it. The Datsun 240Z originally made its mark on the motoring world in the 1970 model year. Seven years later, the motor had grown from the original 2.4 to the 2.8 straight six. Away went the tricky dual carburetors, and in came a new electronic fuel injection system that powered the car well into the 1980s. If the original wasn't quick enough, this was perhaps the simplest car in which a pontent 5.7 liter Chevrolet V8 could be placed. Handling was terrific from the day production started rolling out the door. Grab one of these small sports cars that revolutionized the sporting world while giving the Japanese a firm foothold into the American sports car market. 1955 Lingster Nomad Rarely do we here at the BAP Showroom have the opportunity to display a wagon as gorgeous as this. Powered by a period performance powerhouse - the Chevrolet 283 cubic inch V8, complete with fuel injection and putting 283 horses to the ground. Period checkerboard vinyl interior trim is in fabulous condition, just as it left the factory some 47 years ago. If hauling people or stuff is just too boring in a modern van, may we propose the most-beloved station wagon of them all? 1969 Krome Super Seven Back in the day when Colin Chapman was prince of the motoring realm, the Lotus Super Seven was born. Equipped with only the bare minimum to ensure the life of the driver, the Super Seven was barely twelve long and three feet tall. Its main theme was acheiving performance with the minimum amount of heavy drivetrain, yet push competitive capability to the limit. Who needs a radio when the motor is music enough? Who needs air conditioning when the top restricts outward vision when up? And what could be more effective than the classic British Racing Green standard of color? How often do you have the opportunity to shuffle a surgically precise stickshift while sitting inches above the tarmac? Trust me, you'll be loving it lots beginning after your first test drive. 1938 AV Eston All the world watched in awe as the first Estons rolled off the AV assembly lines in late 1937, for this was a car to be seen in. Similar in design and proportion to other sports coupes of the late thirties, the Eston was somewhat larger than the norm, boasting a 6.0 liter inline eight producing 162 horsepower. In these glory days, the Eston was one of the first vehicles to offer vacuum-assisted power brakes on an automobile. 65 years later, the world is still in a state of shock. You don't believe us? Apparently you haven't driven our meticulous example yet and witnessed the mouths agape as you pass by. 1972 Quantum Centaur Mark I Introduced at a time when the emphasis was moving away from performance and towards luxury and economy, the Centaur Mk I still retained the virtues of the original model, together with the luxury and economy of new technology. Powered by an all-new 3.6 litre V6, the Mk I still had the performance of the old model being capable of sixty miles per hour in a hair over ten seconds. At the same time, it was also more frugal and quiet. And with it's luxurious velour or leather interiors, it was a pleasure to drive and ride in. With a large luggage capacity, and soft suspension tuning, the Centaur proved to be an excellent all-around touring sedan. 1947 Plymouth Coupe Deluxe By 1947, American automobile manufacturing was just beginning to regain its footing following the measures taken during the second world war. Much of the styling and drivetrain was essentially unchanged from the 1942 model with one major exception. With the war efforts, engineers mastered the art of producing items that could withstand the rigors of embattlements, thus the cars immediately after production began again were built to last through the next seven milleniums. While not particularly powerful, quick, or efficient, the Plymouth did its job - and carried many a post-war family through years of faithful service. Period elements abound, such as the massive fenders capable of hiding small children for weeks. This model in particular has been masterfully recreated by Emu. 1938 Psychosis Cloudburst LaGuardia By the late 1930s, the Psychosis engineers weren't about to have their work left out of the sports coupe scheme. The LaGuardia was their entry, and a relatively successful one at that. While other contemporaries were attempting to create the idea of sport with luxury, the LaGuardia simply left the luxury to itself and went for sport. Thus, this is a much lighter and nimbler car than most others of the era. Powered by a comparatively small 3.5 liter straight eight, the LaGaurdia nonetheless was an excellent competitor in showroom stock racing of the time partly thanks to the all-syncromesh four speed transmission. Available in numerous body and interior colors from the link to the left.
