| | About vehicle Plain and ts models
the original isabella was a two-door sedan with fully independent suspension, an alligator-style long hood and the marques diamond-shaped insignia in the center of the horizontal grille. For 1956 a station wagon was added, as well as a ts (touring sport) sedan that could exceed 90 mph. A sliding sunroof became an isabella option. The following year a ts sports coupe with a downswept trim line on each side joined the series. There was also a convertible for 1957 only. Ts models had parking lights on the fenders.
speedy racers
the 1959 isabellas included two ts sedans: Sports and deluxe. In that year a ts sedan with an optional speed kit set a class record on the bonneville, utah, salt flats, averaging 93.56 mph.
earlier racing isabellas equipped with 115hp fuel-injected engines won the 1954 eifelrennen and the 1955 mille miglia in class. Despite the success of the isabella, this four-cylinder car was unable to keep borgward in business |
