hektor Posted December 2, 2020 Share #13981 Posted December 2, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) The car is unusual for the period in having front-hinged doors. It is also right-hand drive which was mostly on the prestige French cars of the period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Hi hektor, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted December 3, 2020 Share #13982 Posted December 3, 2020 I suspect Hektor knows what car this is, and between his and your hints I'd say a Citroen Avant. If I'm correct and if Hektor did know it and was hinting, he really deserves the "win." The first one and maybe only one I recall seeing was parked in front of the cathedral in Chartres, in black and decorated with flowers for the bride and groom in side the cathedral -- between 15 and 20 years ago. Then again I'm probably wrong. My Chartres photo shows the door is rear hinged. Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted December 3, 2020 Share #13983 Posted December 3, 2020 I would have guessed it´s a Delaunay-Belleville RI-6. Haven´t they used Mercedes 170 rear axle parts? Some say the RI-6 was the refined french copy of the Mercedes 230 (W143). The RI-6 usually had rear hinged front doors, not sure what has happened to this car if it is one.

wlaidlaw Posted December 3, 2020 Share #13984 Posted December 3, 2020 Neither a Citroen nor a Delaynay-Belléville but it is not an obscure car. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted December 3, 2020 Share #13985 Posted December 3, 2020 I was thinking along the lines of a Peugeot 202 but the rear-hinged doors and bonnet louvres aren't right. More thinking required... P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted December 3, 2020 Share #13986 Posted December 3, 2020 Considerably upmarket from a Peugeot. This one is the car in its most basic spec. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted December 4, 2020 Share #13989 Posted December 4, 2020 Judging from the external head beams it‘s a pre 1949 model. Some 1949/50 coupes and cabriolets still had external head beams, maybe the very basic limousines/berlines as well but I still think it‘s prior 1949.

This is a coachbuilt body but this particular one is almost forgotten. Not a Salmson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted December 4, 2020 Share #13991 Posted December 4, 2020 So is it a Talbot-Lago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted December 4, 2020 Share #13992 Posted December 4, 2020 Ronald, not a Talbot Lago but it does have an Anthony Lago owned Cotal gearbox. IMHO these cars nicer to drive than a Talbot Lago and much cheaper to buy nowadays. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted December 4, 2020 Share #13993 Posted December 4, 2020 Another one on my yesterdays list was Hotchkiss, maybe a 686. They had Copal gears after WW2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 4, 2020 Share #13999 Posted December 4, 2020 There is a query in my mind on the listed coachbuilder which is shown as French but I think they may have fitted or copied a British body. Not Guilloré Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted December 4, 2020 Share #14000 Posted December 4, 2020 Autobineau (subsidiary of Letourneur et Marchand) made the D6-70. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
