wlaidlaw Posted October 28, 2024 Share #22741 Posted October 28, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think Stuart should really get the credit. For some reason, Packard always seems to slip my mind when I think of US car makers. It shouldn't really as I have owned a 1928 straight eight Packard 443, unfortunately with a rather ugly sedan body. I also have a share certificate with some of the coupons clipped at the bottom from the 1930's. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Goriup Posted October 28, 2024 Share #22743 Posted October 28, 2024 1920s & 30s US luxury land yachts are not my specialty, but to my eyes that looks a lot like a Duesenberg SJ, i.e. one of the 35 supercharged cars they built. JZG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted October 28, 2024 Share #22744 Posted October 28, 2024 The other car that had "snake pipes" coming out of the side of the hood, was the Auburn Speedster but I think its front cowl was sloped, so I would agree with Ivan, a Duesenberg SJ.

stuny Posted October 28, 2024 Share #22745 Posted October 28, 2024 Ivan has it. Actually, 36 were made, and this one is a one-off 1934 Rollston coachwork. Your turn. Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted October 29, 2024 Share #22748 Posted October 29, 2024 Aston Martin DB4R? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted October 29, 2024 Share #22749 Posted October 29, 2024 Stuart, I don't think there ever was a DB4R. There was a DBR-4, which was the unsuccessful 1959 F1 front engined car, which was obsolete by the time it appeared, due to Cooper, BRM and Lotus mid engined cars. The two DB4 race cars were the DB4GT and the DB4GTZ. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted October 29, 2024 Share #22750 Posted October 29, 2024 Since the roof is not double bubbled, this is probably the DB4GT. With the roll-over bars and bracing it seems prepared for racing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Goriup Posted October 29, 2024 Share #22751 Posted October 29, 2024 Michael, not a Tucker. Stuart, the distinctive A-M metallic green color probably gave the make away since you are correct and it indeed is a Aston - Martin, but Wilson is also correct in stating that there never was a DB4R. I regret that I simply don't have the time to prolong this solution with additional clues, but since the make has already been identified I must reveal that it is actually the predecessor to the DB4 series, a 1956 Aston-Martin DB3S Fixed Head Coupe. The DB3S was introduced in 1953 as an open racing car and immediately proved to be a lighter, more potent car than the DB3. 31 of the open roadsters were built, 11 team cars for John Wyers' use and 20 which were sold as customer cars and all raced with mixed success. David Brown however wanted a Le Mans winner and in '56 ordered two coupes built for the 24-hour race as they would be more aerodynamic than the open cars. Due to instability, both crashed during the race and were rebuilt as DB3S roadsters. Three of the customer destined roadsters were later built as fixed head coupes for privateer road use use, with one of them actually becoming David Brown's 'company car' which he used as his daily driver. This is the David Brown car, as shown at the 2013 Tour d'Elegance & Pebble Beach Concours, where it won the GT class. Thank you for participating. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

Ivan Goriup Posted October 29, 2024 Share #22757 Posted October 29, 2024 There is absolutely no point in posting this image, other than remembering that I found it curious at the time to see this home-built ( per the owner at that time ) Austin-Healey which had been quite expertly also made into a 'fixed head coupe' parked mere feet from the DB3S coupe at the same venue........couldn't help but think that the A-M coupe exerted some ( considerable) influence on the ambitious owner of the A-H.

wlaidlaw Posted October 29, 2024 Share #22758 Posted October 29, 2024 I wonder if that top/back to the Healey 3000 was donated by a TVR, maybe a Grantura? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted October 30, 2024 Share #22760 Posted October 30, 2024 The wheels look like Ford model B and the body is a USA style but other than that, it could come from any of the US makers. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
