Shamrock (car)

The business was established by American businessmen James F. Conway and William K Curtis in Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan.

Although the car was big and heavy, it used a relatively small Austin A55 1.5 litre engine, which limited performance.

The car used fibreglass body panels and was styled as a four seat, two door coupé with removable hardtop.

After the factory closed, the unused parts were dumped into the local lake, Lough Muckno[citation needed].

The car is now very rare, and only nine are believed to still exist: five in Ireland—one each in Killarney, Castleblayney, and Wexford, two in Drogheda, and one in Carlow—and four in the USA, one in Seattle, one in Virginia and two in California.
