1946 PMI Prospect Bonhomme SuperSix 1.0

Postwar-production American sedan.

  1. Private_Miros
    Powered by the wartime "Universal Ninety", a 3571 cc (218 cubic inch) inline-6 engine, producing 90 horsepower at 3700 rmp and 228 Nm (168 lb-ft) of torque at 2000rpm, the Bonhomme was basically a military truck engine stuck on the chassis of a late 30s sedan.

    This was the first car offered on sale by the PMI Prospect Corporation. The Bonhomme was meant to be an affordable American family car for the newly developing suburbs. The Bonhomme was simple in design and cheap to maintain, and could transport six people in moderate comfort. The leaf springs made it highly utilitarian inside and outside of the cities. The 90 horsepower engine and a 3-speed manual gearbox propelled it to a top speed just shy of 160 km/h (100 mph).
