wlaidlaw Posted November 18, 2021 Share #16403 Posted November 18, 2021 Looks like a flat head V8, so guessing a Ford Model 18 from 1932. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted November 22, 2021 Share #16404 Posted November 22, 2021 Well done, Wilson (thought the owner believes it to be a Model A). I thought the flathead might give it away. Here are two views. Your turn. Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted November 22, 2021 Share #16405 Posted November 22, 2021 This one could be a stinker. This is an image from a 1920's vintage book (so out of copyright) that I picked up at a flea market in Wetzlar but I would doubt it was taken with a Leica 😀 Usual info required: Make, model, nationality and approx date. Hint this maker is still in existence but have reverted to original products, no longer making motor vehicles. As it was quite a small photo in the book, I am posting the whole car. I have blanked out the number plate in case it might lead to the vehicle via Google. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted November 22, 2021 Share #16407 Posted November 22, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just have this slight suspicion that the makers found a very small man for this photo, to make the car look more imposing.

Rona!d Posted November 22, 2021 Share #16408 Posted November 22, 2021 Still under it´s car makers name? If not, I would have thought of Hotchkiss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted November 22, 2021 Share #16409 Posted November 22, 2021 Part of the current name is the same as their vehicles were called. Not Hotchkiss. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted November 22, 2021 Share #16410 Posted November 22, 2021 Just for the record, the car shown in post 16422 and 16424 is definitely a Ford Model A Roadster. Regardless of the engine currently fitted (which could have been swapped in at anytime during the past 89 years - the flathead was a very popular upgrade by hot-rodders). The 1932 Model 18 - or "Deuce," has a more modern, sculpted/streamlined "V" shaped radiator frame (almost a bull-nose), as well as a more arched support for the headlights. Along with other cosmetic changes, such as less curly door handles, and occasionally a "V8" logo on the headlight brace. https://www.thejbscollection.com/project/1932-ford-model-18-roadster/ https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0121-443379/1932-ford-model-18-deluxe/ However, you may proceed, since I don't photograph mystery cars much. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted November 22, 2021 Share #16412 Posted November 22, 2021 Not British. The name of the make of vehicles in period form part of the current name of the company and was part of the name from its origin over 100 years ago. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted November 23, 2021 Share #16413 Posted November 23, 2021 Hello Wilson, Could this be a Simplex? Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted November 23, 2021 Share #16414 Posted November 23, 2021 Not a Simplex. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted November 23, 2021 Share #16415 Posted November 23, 2021 That is an interesting task, Wilson. I learned a lot about the cars I had in mind (Martini for example) but couldn´t find a matching model. As you have mentioned this is a smaller car than it appears so here some ideas you could answer by the index so we can come closer. A | 0.7 - 1.4 ltr engine size? B | larger engine C | German/Austrian/Swiss maker D | French maker E | Italian maker F | other countries A and D are my favorites so far although I cannot exclude C.

Rona!d Posted November 23, 2021 Share #16416 Posted November 23, 2021 My strongest guess is Salmson but not sure about the type, VAL3 / Grand Sport comes close. (I also thought of Amilcar and Tracta first but couldn´t find a relation to a post car and past car production.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted November 23, 2021 Share #16417 Posted November 23, 2021 Small engine (almost a cyclecar) and French. Not Salmson - far less well known than that. I am enjoying this one. There are strong aviation links. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted November 23, 2021 Share #16418 Posted November 23, 2021 The driver is about Orville Wright's size, but I think we can rule out the Wright Flyer.😉 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am enjoying this one. There are strong aviation links. Wilson Confirms my inner voice: almost cyclecar, French and aviation link. Hence Salmson. Only the other names were missing. Like Chapuis-Dornier, Collet-Anzani which only share parts of their names with aviation. Even Blériot built a car (cyclecar), Voisin, Levasseur etc..
