stuny Posted March 12, 2021 Share #14862 Posted March 12, 2021 Perhaps a Roller, something like a Phantom Drophead? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZach Posted March 12, 2021 Share #14863 Posted March 12, 2021 Right, maybe naming a R-R model “cabriolet” would be too commonplace, almost banal, so R-R Phantom Drophead Coupe it is: Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted March 12, 2021 Share #14867 Posted March 12, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think it may be a Pierce Arrow 1240 or 1250 from around 1933/35, as I think the later ones all had louvres in the sides of the hood. If it is a coachbuilt one as the body looks like that, it might be the 1933 Silver Arrow car. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 13, 2021 Share #14868 Posted March 13, 2021 Well done Wilson. It is a Silver Arrow car from 1933. Your turn. Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted March 13, 2021 Share #14869 Posted March 13, 2021 Three still exist out of five made in total. Interesting spare wheel under the side of the front bonnet and it seems to be in danger of scratches when you fully open front and rear doors which are faced to each other. It looks much nicer from the side or rear than from the front end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted March 15, 2021 Share #14870 Posted March 15, 2021 I think the Pierce-Arrow is a lovely looking car. How good they were to drive I just don't know. Some of these lovely looking "swoopy" coachbuilt 1930's cars are not much fun to drive, e.g. 540K Mercedes, Isotta Frascini 8S, Talbot Lago 150S, Duesenberg SJ, which is why most of them are seen creeping off trailers to a concours d'elegance lawn but little further. Here is your next one. As ever, marque, model and approx year please. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

John Z. Goriup Posted March 15, 2021 Share #14871 Posted March 15, 2021 Initial instinct was to identify it as an 'Aston-Martin', but I don't recall them producing any cars with rear-hinged doors, therefore I'll go with Nash-Healey, who built some fairly odd cars in their time.

wlaidlaw Posted March 17, 2021 Share #14874 Posted March 17, 2021 You know it is a competition sports car and US made. You can deduce it is not a recent car from the "suicide" doors. How many US made competition sports cars are there to choose from - very few. I can only think of three. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted March 17, 2021 Share #14877 Posted March 17, 2021 How about that hopeful to out race Lance Reventlow's Scarabs, the Bocar XP5 of the late '50s? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelG Posted March 17, 2021 Share #14879 Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) I think the door looks rather larger than the stubby Bocar one (cross posted) Edited March 17, 2021 by NigelG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted March 17, 2021 Share #14880 Posted March 17, 2021 These are better known than the Bocar. The make might be said to be the US' best known competition car maker. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
