stuny Posted March 18 Share #23242 Posted March 18 Not Napier, not French, but very close on date. This particular car is form 1921 Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted March 18 Share #23243 Posted March 18 Given that most bodies were coachbuilt at this time, I think I would need to see a bit of the radiator to guess more accurately. If it was 1922, I would have said a Lancia Lambda but they were all 1922 or later. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted March 19 Share #23246 Posted March 19 (edited) I think that might be a Packard Single Six maybe the 126 variety, the middle length chassis, the shorter being the 116 and the limousine chassis the 133. The only other car with a fluted hood and radiator like that would be a Vauxhall 30/98, back when Vauxhall cars were competitors for Bentley (and at that period probably better).

stuny Posted March 19 Share #23247 Posted March 19 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wilson wins again (I've described him to others of having driven and/or owned and or raced just about every interesting car ever built), though he kind of backed into it - Not a Packard, but it is a Vauxhall 30/98E in the Simeone Foundation collection on the outskirts of Philadelphia.

Ivan Goriup Posted March 19 Share #23248 Posted March 19 Stuart, your latest crop (above) suggest that we're looking at a Vauxhall automobile The reason I state that is the concave flute running from near the windshield posts / firewall to the corners of the grill. That was a strong styling feature of Vauxhall cars from early on and extended to their post-war models. In fact, if memory serves me correctly, that is the 1921 Vauxhall Velox Tourer on display as part of the Simeone Collection Philadelphia, USA, a Museum I visited every opportunity I had when I found myself back East. Our family lived in Vienna at the end of WW II, and I distinctly recall my first sighting of a Vauxhall, when an English officer appeared in our courtyard in a shiny new black Vauxhall sedan with the same flutes in the hood, this time in the form of perfectly shaped chrome-plated inserts, asking for directions on how to find his way back to his quarters. Saw several more Vauxhalls in Wien when things settled down after the war and immediately recognized them....all due to their distinctive hood flutes. If I'm correct and it becomes my turn, I won't be responding with a new puzzle car of my own due to some health issues, not terminal I hope, but nevertheless serious enough to limit my time on the computer and, as I suspect like many others, I'm beginning to run out of usable images taken with Leica cameras, especially now that I've given away my scanner, since most of my best & most interesting images are slides or negatives. Respectfully, I submit this thread has run it's natural course and should be 'retired honorably'. We've all had our fun......but I think it's time to move on to something more all-LEICA photography centered. JZG 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 21 Share #23249 Posted March 21 Ivan - Wilson (who beat you to the answer) has suggested letting the thread die with dignity. It's up to you if you'd like to claim the right to post another since the snow emergency prevented you from doing so not long ago. That's also selfish of me since I so much enjoy your deep collection of outstanding photos of interesting cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham (G4FUJ) Posted March 21 Share #23250 Posted March 21 Call it resting / pitstop / parc ferme rather than expiring altogether? It's been a great thread and I'm sure that there are others with potential challenge cars, but they perhaps need time and don't wish to be pressurised? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted March 22 Share #23252 Posted March 22 For starters it appears to be a coupe, and probably not from North America. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Goriup Posted March 23 Share #23257 Posted March 23 The sheet metal may be by Carrozzeria Touring, but back in the mid 1960's I believe frugal & financially very conservative Ferruccio used the same commercially available tail light lenses on some of his tractors.

I had never previously seen a 350GT from the rear 3/4 and I have to say it makes for a prettier picture (IMO) that the frontal treatment.
