John Z. Goriup Posted October 27, 2017 Share #10341 Â Posted October 27, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stuart, absolutely spot on re the time period ( 1954 ) - but not Packard, and I'll volunteer that it's not by one of the traditional big Three either.

stuny Posted October 27, 2017 Share #10343  Posted October 27, 2017 When Wilson guessed Studebaker I thought I'd try Hudson. I found a photo of one in the same colors, called the Italia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted October 27, 2017 Share #10344  Posted October 27, 2017 Hudson Italia is correct - I thought it would take a lot longer and involve more guesses than this, perhaps I was too generous with my clues.  Hudson wanted a 'breakthrough' model to enable it to compete in the post-war evolving luxury car  market and decided that the only way to accomplish this was with farming out production of the body & interior to Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, Italy on top of a Hudson Commander chassis powered by highly their successful stock-car racing powertrain.  Stuart, I'd be willing to wager the photo you found is of the same car, which is incidentally the first of these made and which was recently restored to immaculate condition and shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August.  Thanks for playing, your turn.  JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted October 30, 2017 Share #10345  Posted October 30, 2017 John - It probably was.  Sorry for the delay. Here's a generous crop (none), but with the logo and numbers plate cloned out:  Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted November 1, 2017 Share #10356  Posted November 1, 2017 Perhaps the 4CL (ca 1939) as driven by Nuvolari after the war? If not that, the post war variant, the tubular chassis version, the 4CLT. I think Ascari and Fangio drove those.

wlaidlaw Posted November 1, 2017 Share #10357  Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Close but still the wrong model although you are within one year of the age. One of the initials is correct  The in-period driver was also a car constructor of a really weird device. Edited November 1, 2017 by wlaidlaw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted November 1, 2017 Share #10358  Posted November 1, 2017 I've run out of knowledge since your hints preclude the 4CLT/48 and 4CLT/ of 1948-1950. I think Chiron drove one or both of those. Hmmm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted November 1, 2017 Share #10359  Posted November 1, 2017 Come on guys. There are only two models left from 1936-1938 you have not mentioned and it is very obviously not one of them, from the size of the back wheels, even though they used almost identical chassis.  Wilson  PS Apologies guys. The owner, when this photo was taken, had two of these cars both with the same original owner/racer in period. Having looked at a frontal view, this is the earlier 1936 version, which has a more vertical front grille, not the sloped grille 1938 version. Otherwise the cars are identical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
