Ganter Motors Co. ('55 T10)

ganter

Ganter Motors was founded in 1949 by uniting three car manufacturers: Garant, Fenter and Erix. The name is the union of the three old company names. The office is in Denver, USA. The first (1949-1950) logo had wings (was the Fenter logo), the second (1951-1991) - an arrow, and the third (1992-present) - nothing extra.

1949-1951 Ganter Standard Series

The first car produced by Ganter, was exactly the Fenter Standard with some design elements from models of Garant and Erix. Had two body variants : Fordor (4-door sedan) and Tudor (2-door coupe).

Good start to the company’s history. Keep it up! I love the design and authenticity of the Indiana in particular.

And now that you’ve showed us a teaser for the latest Indiana somewhere else on these forums, surely it will be mentioned in this thread as well? If so, it’s not a matter of if, but when.

I will add the modern modelline on the first post, but when? :sunglasses:

I’m making the '55 Indiana now (on a modded GM body), but at first will be the already made T1 restyle (as the new T10, with a new Around version). :smile:

NEWS ABOUT THE NEW INDIANA:

Yesterday, some CarBuild photographs photographed the look of the Indiana Squire prototypes. The Squire will be presented and go to production in 2018.

Soon the '55 T10 here!
