1969 Norđwagen Valkyrja GT 6

Since 1963, Norđwagen has been setting, breaking, and resetting standards in many market segments in Hetvesia, perhaps most of all with sport luxury cars. The standardbearer, now entering its second generation, is the smaller and more athletic of Norđwagen’s two main sedan lines - the counterpart to the larger and more comfort-oriented Ođin, a rebadged fourth-generation DCMW Al Sayaadim, the midsized Valkyrja.

Valkyrja is available in two trim classes of three tiers each: the T, GT, and L are well-balanced sedans meant to satisfy passengers while retaining straight-line and handling performance as well as driver engagement, while the S, GS, and GTR are unapologetic corner carvers. Of the former group, the GT features a medium-high equipment level, with bona fide luxury credentials that stop short of the cost-no-object excesses of the L. Also available with a V12, the GT 6 is powered by a 2.4L all-alloy supercharged R6 making 202hp DIN.

A Luxury-grade interior and 8-track player, full double-wishbone suspension with hydropneumatic struts, hydraulic rack steering, all-disk brakes, partial underbody cladding, and a fully synchronized 5-speed manual transmission complete this balanced package. Though versatile and well-rounded, the Valkyrja GT 6 is optimized for Norđwagen’s golden standard of driving: to watch your passengers fall asleep, then wonder how they arrived so early.

POSEIDON AUTOMOTIVE INTRODUCES THE ALL-NEW GEN 3 ORCA

A New Standard of Australian Luxury Performance — 1969

Sydney, New South Wales — August 1969

Poseidon Automotive today unveils the GEN 3 Orca, the most advanced and authoritative luxury sedan ever produced by the marque, and a defining moment in Australian prestige motoring.

Engineered for executives, long-distance motorists, and discerning drivers who value strength with restraint, the new Orca Ocean marks the full maturity of Poseidon’s engineering philosophy. Where earlier Orca generations focused on comfort and reliability, the GEN 3 delivers confidence, presence, and performance.

---

Effortless Power, Delivered with Restraint

Powering the GEN 3 Orca is Poseidon Automotive’s newly developed 6.0-litre overhead-valve V8, engineered to deliver strong torque at modest engine speeds while maintaining quiet, refined operation.

Producing 180 kilowatts at 3,900 rpm and 491 Nm of torque at just 2,900 rpm, the Orca provides immediate response and relaxed high-speed cruising. Coupled to a three-speed automatic transmission, drive is delivered to the rear wheels with smoothness and composure.

With a top speed of 226 km/h, the GEN 3 Orca comfortably ranks among the fastest luxury sedans available in 1969.

The Light 3.0 GTS — For the Driver

For customers seeking a more engaging driving experience, Poseidon Automotive also announces the Orca Light 3.0 GTS, a performance-focused derivative developed alongside the flagship luxury model.

The Light 3.0 GTS features:

• A 3.0-litre performance-tuned engine
• Manual transmission for full driver control
• Reduced overall mass through simplified luxury trim
• Revised suspension tuning for improved road response

Designed for drivers who value involvement and precision, the GTS offers a more direct connection to the road while retaining the Orca’s inherent balance and durability. It represents Poseidon’s belief that performance and refinement need not be mutually exclusive.

The GEN 3 Orca is underpinned by a steel ladder chassis, providing exceptional strength and longevity in demanding conditions. Front double wishbone suspension and rear leaf springs deliver a controlled, compliant ride at both urban and highway speeds.

The Orca rides on 15-inch wheels fitted with 205/75R15 tyres, a period-correct specification chosen to deliver ride comfort, stability, and load capacity appropriate to a full-size luxury sedan in 1969.

With a kerb weight of 1,595 kg and a 61/39 front-to-rear weight distribution, the Orca offers predictable handling and assured high-speed stability. Exported to the world !

---

Luxury Without Excess

The four-door Orca seats five adults in comfort within a clean, restrained body design that favours proportion and function over ornamentation. With an overall length of 4.7 metres and a 2.8-metre wheelbase, interior space is generous without excess.

Controls are clearly laid out, materials are selected for durability, and the cabin is designed for long-term ownership rather than fleeting fashion.

An Australian Flagship

The GEN 3 Orca is not a copy of overseas luxury sedans. It is a distinctly Australian expression of prestige motoring — powerful, honest, and engineered for real conditions.

With the introduction of the GEN 3 Orca and the Light 3.0 GTS, Poseidon Automotive demonstrates its ability to serve both the executive and the enthusiast, without compromise.

OK, since we are still getting patches for Al-Rilma every now and then, I just want to clarify that I won’t set any limit on how many resubmissions you can do for this. Since I didn’t put some ban on it in the ruleset, I guess resubs have technically been allowed all the time, but to make things clear, I want to tell you that they are allowed. So, I recommend you to see if the updates have messed with your car, if you already have sent it in, and in that case you’re free to resub.

[Dog959]

1969 Seaforth Pennine

A lightweight all alloy 2.55L V8 set behind the rear wheels gives the car some straight line speed and responsive steering that’s still light enough to be comfortable.

The top spec luxury trim comes with hydropneumatic suspension, leather seats, the pinnacle of modern 8 track sound systems and a supercharger on the engine. Priced at 26,900 AMU.

More Information

The Quezon Prinsipe (sometimes spelt Principe) is a luxury car built and sold by Quezon from 1968-1973. The name translates to “Prince”, being designed as a smaller, more sportier and more driver-focused counterpart to the full-size Prinsesa limousine, being built on the same chassis as the two-door Laguna but with a 4-door body and more luxurious interior furnishings.

The Princesa was originally made at the request of high-ranking Filipino politicians and business owners in the mid-late 60’s who saw the rise of Quezon and had an optimistic outlook on the company. A patriotic sense had been breeding in the country with the recent election of Ferdinand Marcos, and to be seen in a domestically built luxury car would be the ultimate sign of a growing economy. The result ended up being a large, over 5-metre long limousine that weighed well over 5000 lbs and featured an interior as lavish as the Malacanan palace.

As expected, the handling, acceleration, and driving dynamics of such an opulent car were to be desired. It was comfortable to sit in and be driven around in at low speeds, but was the furthest thing possible from what could be called a “driver’s car”. A secondary development would emerge from the Prinsesa’s pitfalls, a “no-compromise” sedan that could potentially be exported overseas.

Taking the shorter Laguna frame, which was based off of Quezon’s heavy duty jeepney frames, and equipping it with the same coil spring setup as on the Princesa helped to improve both handling and comfort. Noting the vibrations, harshness, and weight of the Laguna and Princesa’s UAMC V8 engines, Quezon opted to use an inline-6 engine in the Prinsipe due to their natural balancing allowing for smoother operation than any other engine type.

Initially, they had planned to use an overhead valve UAMC Straight Six, in 250 cubic inch configuration, but found the power to be lacking at only 150 gross rated horsepower, far less than the Laguna’s 250 horsepower rating. Instead, they found that a Suisei 6IMCC overhead cam engine was not only able to nearly match the Laguna’s 250 horsepower rating when equipped with twin Hitachi sidedraft carburetors, but was also much lighter, being a smaller 3-litre displacement.

The head design of the Suisei engine would later be reverse-engineered and redesigned to be able to fit onto the block of the UAMC engine, forming the basis of the veritable Quezon Straight Six engine used in later Quezon vehicles.

The Japanese engine was then mated to either a 4-speed UAMC Muncie wide-ratio manual transmission, or a 3-speed UAMC THM400 automatic that drove the rear wheels to a 3.88 rear end. A positrac limited-slip differential was also optional.

The body was derived from the Prinsesa’s overall appearance, with ostentatious amounts of chrome trim and other minor detailing. Some hints of the Laguna’s styling cues still became apparent, however, in the muscular arches that climbed over the rear fenders and the shaping of certain elements. Vinyl-covered roofs were an available option, but in general the car could be customized to whatever the owners requested.

Interior-wise was barely a step-down from the Prinsesa, with hand-carved Philippine Narra wood lining the entire interior, and imported Italian leather wrapping the doorcards and seats. Like its larger sibling, the Prinsipe also came standard with air conditioning, but also had heating to prepare it for foreign sales in countries where it would be necessary.

The result was a decently sharp-handling luxury sedan with relatively good acceleration. Quezon rated the Suisei inline 6 at 240 gross horsepower after all the modifications performed, and when mated to the 4-speed manual transmission, the car could accelerate to 100 kph in 7 and a half seconds.

The Prinsipe remained a low-volume car, however. An economic downturn following the First Quarter Storm led to domestic auto sales stagnating, and foreign exports would never materialize for the Prinsipe. That being said, a handful of cars in the hands of private sellers would make their way out of the country, and even to other continents.

1969 Arlington Acadia EX

---

A glimpse of Futures Past

Arlington did not have a big following in Europe. The corporation’s European affairs were conducted by their German subsidiary, Waldersee, and that was enough. Nevertheless, the company did sell Waldersee restyles under its own larger-than-life banner - usually with a more luxurious and softer-edged image (this would reverse sharply in the 2000s on, when the returning Arlingtons were angrier and cheaper instead).

Due to the absence, back then, of native Waldersee full-size luxury cars, Arlington also sold tarted-up, luxurious version of their intermediates - typically under the name Acadia, which was reserved for similarly upmarket but not speedy vehicles back home. These cars were often tweaked and given experimental changes to measure customer feedback.

Thus, this Acadia EX isn’t just EXecutive - it is EXperimental. There’s a German-make power steering rack instead of the American model’s recirculating ball box. The engine heads are experimental high-swirl units allowing this 5-meter-long, 5-liter-large V8 cruiser to get upwards of 20 mpg. That’s on a conventional, 2-barrel carb, mind you.

Not necessarily experimental, but unusual, is the 3-speed overdrive manual. with a tight OD and a wide main box, it provides 5 useful ratios - up to a very long OD3 highway gear. The light alloy wheels are mounted to downright regressive finned drum brakes by 8 lugs - which is enough for this car, which,at 8.3 second to 60 and just 200 gross HP, is meant to be a confident cruiser, not a rocket.

All of this was made possible precisely by the low volumes and thus low expectations for the newly-implemented mods. Despite the undeniable premium appeal of the car and the unique “American” look that could be either a turn-on or turn-off depending on one’s disposition, everything on the car was engineered above all to be supremely durable and reliable - after all, the dealership network wasn’t the widest.

If you’re the rare and endangered “German with a sense of humor”, this’ll be up your alley: A supremely comfortable, reliable, controllable and economical executive sedan, dressed up as a violent street/strip bruiser with a gaudy vinyl top.

1969 Vorstentelg Noviomagus 2.5

As the Noviomagus originally released in 1965 was showing it’s age, for 1969 Vorstentelg has extensively facelifted the Noviomagus and upgraded it on all fronts. A new 4-speed automatic gearbox with the 4th gear being an overdrive for comfortable highway travel. Radial tyres, disc brakes all around and power steering for optimal safety.

A hand-built interior, colour matched to the exterior. Four sumptuous leather seats hand-stitched with the Vorstentelg insignia, with 3-point seat belts in the front and lap belts in the rear.

A steering wheel, dashboard, gear lever and even handbrake lever made of the finest walnut wood one can import.

The Noviomagus 2.5 uses a brand new defroster system imported from the United States, with two blowers aimed at the rear window connected to the heater system. Once the engine is warmed up, your rear window will be completely clear of ice in no time! A luxury 8-track player gives you the option to listen to any music you wish in your Vorstentelg. Coupled to a total of four speakers: two on the dashboard and two on the rear parcel shelf. This gives you the experience of a concert hall in your car!

And don’t forget the engine! The Noviomagus 2.5 is powered by a 2483cc inline 6 with DOHC, up to now practically only seen in race cars and an exclusive British sports car. This smooth straight six engine breaths through a triple Weber setup and puts 160hp to the rear wheels. The Noviomagus 2.5 reaches a top speed in excess of 200km/h and reaches 100km/h from a standstill in 9.3s.

The renewed Vorstentelg Noviomagus is now available at your local Vorstentelg dealership for $27000.

Vorstentelg is a Dutch passenger car brand. The name means “monarch’s scion/descendant” in Dutch. As it’s founder claims to be a descendant of Karel van Gelre, the Duke of Guelders. Noviomagus is the Latin name of the Dutch city of Nijmegen. One of the largest cities in the province of Gelderland.

Introducing the 1969 Meisho Imperial - V8

Owning an Imperial has never been about being ostentatious. The first Imperial, released in 1948 to ferry around the Japanese family that gave the car its name, was certainly not seen from the outside to be fitting of an imperial family.

Of course though, with darkened windows, nobody sees what is inside of a car like this one. The plush, velvet seats, the easily accessible car phone and air vents, and the amount of leg room. They don’t see a smooth four-speed Meisho-Matic transmission, whisper-quiet and devilishly smooth power steering and highly advanced driver and passenger safety systems. They certainly don’t see a car with a screaming 3.1L V8, producing a smooth yet understated 150HP.

Just like it has always been, fit for an Emperor and his family. Available as always for a highly competitive price of only $17,700.

In Japanese, the word ‘meisho’ (名所), is the word for a famous or notable place, often in reference to Edo-period literature. Meisho aims as a company to craft vehicles that give the impression to their occupants that they are in a notable place, whether it is through comfort, speed, reliability, or the acquisition of such things for an affordable price.

Bertram B3 2500

random bs

Originally introduced in 1949, the B3 was an upmarket car for Britain, coming with a 2l inline 4 up to a 3l inline 6, as a working man’s car it fullfilled its purpose and then some, quickly becoming a renowned car for its quality and early use of Hydrolastic suspension, a new craze quickly adopted by Bertram. In the late 50s it got another facelift, remaining untouched until the B7 released and production ended. It remained a budget option for people who like the finer things in life.

Stellar Oryx Royal

Background

TURBOL rationalized its European operations in the 1960s following the expansion of the continental HQ in Eupen, Belgium. To avoid the duplication of work, the Paige Europe, the Belgian arm, were tasked with inexpensive models, while Stellar, the UK arm, were tasked with premium and luxury products. This seemed like a reasonable split: Paige Europe primarily designed robust, conventional designs while Stellar had already been dabbling with more advanced technologies like FWD and fully independent suspension.

The Oryx Royal was a manifestation of Stellar’s new direction; the largest and most upmarket Stellar product to date. Bold Transatlantic styling took inspiration from the dramatic personal luxury coupes of the US market, with a coke bottle shape, bumpers integrated into the fascias, hidden headlamps, a vinyl top, and a minimalist approach to badging.

Power came from an updated version of Stellar’s V8. Stellar developed a compact V8 engine in the early 1960s in reaction to their move to FWD. Their existing inline 6 could not be adapted to their new transverse designs, but they needed more than just I4s to complete their lineup. A V6 was briefly considered, but was not a familiar layout to the industry yet. A compact V8 was decided on; tight bore spacing and a small bore would keep the length of the engine short, and the engine would share some design elements with Stellar’s also-new crossflow I4. As was often the case in the UK market, the engine came in a variety of displacements: 2.4, 2.6, and 3.0.

While the Stellar V8 was smooth and reliable, it was not performant. For large applications, the design was stretched up to a 3.5 liter, and for additional power still, could be equipped with a Paxton supplied supercharger. Though the Grand Oryx had no sporting intentions, a certain amount of thrust is expected in this segment, so it came with this top-line 3.5 supercharged permutation, producing 185 net hp and propelling the car to 100 kmh in 9 seconds with the 3 speed automatic gearbox.
