Rona!d Posted October 11, 2013 Share #5641 Posted October 11, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) My first thought was ALF (American LaFrance) but could also be an REO which had those "low" bodies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Hi Rona!d, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted October 11, 2013 Share #5642 Posted October 11, 2013 There was another US company of that era with an even lower body called American Underslung, which had the body's center of gravity below the axels, aiding handling. Of course it needed huge wheels to give it suitable ground clearance. No - Not AF nor Reo. some consider this to be the first US sportscar. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5652 Posted October 16, 2013 Weather was worse than expected so I couldn´t snap the car I wished to. This is a nice little car from my private stable. Still drives well and competitive, unfortunately not much in use. Please name maker and model, extra points for further details like race history. Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5653 Posted October 16, 2013 Maker = Either Shuco or Dinky? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5654 Posted October 16, 2013 Maker = Either Shuco or Dinky? None of them. But you are right, Wilson. It´s a scale model which can be raced on my big scale slot racing track. Please name the maker and the model of the original car (assume you or at least your brother have one of them in your garage).

wlaidlaw Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5655 Posted October 16, 2013 Ronald, I am going to guess because of the rivets that it is a D type They should be flush - Malcolm Sayer would not approve of the raised rivets! The Ecurie Ecosse D Type did not sell at the R&M auction in September, as it failed to reach the reserve but is under negotiation at the moment. It is the first long nose one and was the factory experimental car on which all sorts of things were tried including fuel injection. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5656 Posted October 16, 2013 I too thought D type, but I'm too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5657 Posted October 16, 2013 Not a D-Type, not even a Jag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andi_77 Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5658 Posted October 16, 2013 Let me try... Is it normally "associated" to a white livery? And has it been sort of re-interpreted in the recent years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5659 Posted October 16, 2013 Let me try...Is it normally "associated" to a white livery? And has it been sort of re-interpreted in the recent years? You are thinking of a Ford GT40? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andi_77 Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5660 Posted October 16, 2013 No, not the GT40. Mmmhhh... I'd like to make my guess, but in case I'm right, I'd have the usual problem (no "owned" pictures of cars... So let's keep it in form of questions, so if I'm right, then my guess will become a hint for someone else. The car I was thinking of was known for a peculiar chassis.
