Projetar e construir seu próprio carro é sonho comum a milhões de aficionados. Mas, para aimensa maioria, esse desejo rende, no máximo, alguns rabiscos em fohas de caderno – os meus, dos tempos de escola, eram cheios deles. No caso dos irmãos James and Edward Gaylord, no entando, a coisa foi um tanto além. Filhos de um industrial rico de Chicago, eles amavam os automóveis esportivos, mas desejavam algo, digamos, um pouco mais exclusivo que Corvettes, Jaguares e Porsches. Daí criaram esse originalíssimo modelo que você vê nestas fotos.
Gaylord no salão de Paris 1956
Apresentado em 1955 como modelo 56, o Gaylord Gladiator chegou a ser exposto como protótipo no Salão de Paris. Mas ficou por aí. O único exemplar construído era funcional, ou seja, andava. Trazia um poderoso motor Chrysler V8 de mais de cerca de 300cv e câmbio automático de quatro marchas – além dos maiores faróis que eu jpa vi em um carro de passeio e uma até então pouco utilizada capota rígida escamoteável. Não se tem notícia de onde foi parar ou mesmo se ainda existe.
