ADCR - Auto di Cacciatori-Raccoglitori

#ADCR - Auto di Cacciatori-Raccoglitori

Founded in 1916 by Costanzo Dellucci, when he was in his late 40s, ADCR started out as a ship maker (started life as Barche di Cacciatori-Raccoglitori), before beginning to create bodies for other, larger companies, under the name of Auto di Cacciatori-Raccoglitori, in the late 1930s.

In 1946, after WWII, ADCR began to make a cheap, simple car for Italy, known as the 8450. ADCR continued making small, practical cars for years, and gained an international name as a company who made reliable cars, and cared about their customers.

#1946 ADCR 8450 “Giocattolo” (Toy)

After WWII, And with Mr. Dellucci growing old, his Daughter, Sabrina, took over the oversight of production and design, while Costanzo kept track of funds and the running of the company. under her oversight, the first true ADCR car was made, the 8450. This rear-engined, extremely cheap and light city car was sold to hundreds of thousands of people, due to the cheapness of the vehicle. The 8450 gained the nickname of “Giocattolo” or “Toy” due to it’s small size, and simplicity. The 8450 was produced in two trims, the Base and Lusso. The Base sold almost 400,000 units in it’s time, while the Lusso sold 220,000 units.

#1949 ADCR 7721 “Coniglio”

Despite the large amount of money being pulled in by the 8450, Costanzo wanted something more. Something, in his own words, “[he’d] want to drive down to Milan.” Sabrina, knowing her father, quickly drafted up and idea, something that she had been envisioning for a long while.

Built on a spaceframe chassis, and with aluminium panels, the 98hp V8 powering the 7721, it gained the nickname of “Coniglio,” or Rabbit, due to it’s somewhat unpredictable and skittish handling. The rear-engined 7721 would be classed as a death trap. With terrible brakes, terrible tyres, the front end being prone to lift, and little safety features, very few 7721’s would be built, and very few have survived to 2016.




In-Game retail: $12,000 (50%)

I’m sorry to be a partypooper but… May I hand out any suggestion about the italian names you are using?
As Italian I’m happy that you want to build an italian brand but… there are some problem.

The brand name sounds just weird. No one in Italy would pick a name like this. It sounds ridiculous… it makes no sense.

Also, “Giocattolo” is the correct translation of toy, but it has a chidish connotation that is really negative for a car. If I say that your car is a giocattolo, I’m slightly insulting it… like it is not serious. Not really good for the italian market. Maybe Gioiellino (little jewel) is more suitable for a well made and small car.

“Coniglio” refers to an animal that is more often seen as coward than fast. If you want to recall the idea of speed, “Lepre” is more suitable. (hare)

Don’t be afraid to ask for the next cars :wink:

The entire thing isn’t really meant to make sense. I am just sorta throwing things together, knowing that none of it makes any sense.

Thanks for the offer, but I’m gonna keep doing stupids because that’s what I do!
