stuny Posted June 1, 2015 Share #7521 Posted June 1, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wilson - Correct, and 1955 Chevrolet. Basically a pickup truck with a specialized refrigerator box. Note the brightwork on the hood--It strongly suggests similar brightwork on the 1957 Chevy Bel Aire. The couple who own this truck own several more (this is the oldest) and rent them for parties.

wlaidlaw Posted June 7, 2015 Share #7527 Posted June 7, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) i'll have a guess: De Dion? Similar sort of quality of car and double barrelled name but not De Dion. It had a unique feature as standard for a car of the period, that must have been very welcome for drivers. You can see the evidence of it on my crop. Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted June 10, 2015 Share #7528 Posted June 10, 2015 I can see that I am going to have to tell you this one. Is my imagination or do there seem to be far fewer participants since the forum was revamped? The car is a 1910 Clément - Bayard 10/12HP built in the outskirts of Paris, France. In the photo below, there are a pair of them, the one behind is a little older, I think 1907. The unique standard feature on the 1910 model was a built in heater for the driver. You can see the filler cap for it behind the radiator filler cap. Even Rolls Royces of the period did not have this as standard. Clément - Bayard also made airships, aero engines and aeroplanes, for example Alberto Santos-Dumont's Demoiselle, which became the world's first production aeroplane (Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines featured one of them). The company was wrecked by WW1, as I understand unlike many French industrialists, Clément - Bayard refused to profiteer from the war. The remains of the company were bought by André Citroen in 1922. These are kept at the same local vineyard where I drove the Citroen Kegresse B19 half track. Anyone else want to have a go? Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

samwells Posted June 14, 2015 Share #7534 Posted June 14, 2015 Yup, Dunk has it. Marvellous grille, but often strangely pedestrian (no pun intended) coachwork aft. cheers: Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted June 14, 2015 Share #7535 Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks Sam … I once owned a 'modern' 1850 Dolomite thus familiar with its ancestor Photo of the next puzzler will be posted later this evening … just arrived home after visiting a classic vehicle show. Can we post commercial vehicle pics or are we limited to cars? Cheers dunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted June 14, 2015 Share #7536 Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) My father had a 1500cc Dolomite roadster in the late 1930's but from memory of family photo albums, it had a flat fronted exposed radiator rather than the wonderful art deco grille one. He used to say it looked very fast but its performance was pretty pedestrian. He sold it when he got married in 1940 and went sensible with a large Vauxhall saloon.

wlaidlaw Posted June 15, 2015 Share #7540 Posted June 15, 2015 I bet Volvo wished that Karmann had agreed to make the P1800, so they did not end up at Jensen Motors. I visited Jensen in West Bromwich around 1970, to try and sell them our guarantee management system. It was a ghastly, dingy, filthy dirty dump and amazingly small, when you think of all the cars that came out of it apart from Jensens. The big Austin Healeys, P1800's, Sunbeam Tigers plus a whole lot of sub contract work for all sorts of makers. Alan Jensen, as he lived in Brighton, used to come occasionally to what used to be my local pub, the Anchor Inn at Barcombe, when it was run by a retired rubber planter/RAF Wing Commander/racing driver called Derek Bovet-White. When I told Alan that I had gone to visit West Bromwich to try and sell them a guarantee management system (this was after he had sold the company), he nearly fell off his bar stool laughing. Here is your next one, which should have you scratching your heads a bit. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!
