gmo Posted May 7, 2015 Share #7461 Posted May 7, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) John, You are almost there - what you list is correct except for the Alfa part. You will surely narrow it down further, possibly with this next image? Welcome, dear visitor!

christoph_d Posted May 8, 2015 Share #7462 Posted May 8, 2015 Gerd, With all that pre-work done I would guess it's a Maserati A6, though there seem to be many versions of this around, and I would not know which one... Rgds Christoph Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted May 9, 2015 Share #7468 Posted May 9, 2015 The first photo made me think E-Type, and I think the second photo confirms it………That's a Jaguar XKE Roadster. JZG Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted May 10, 2015 Share #7472 Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks, Christoph…Yes, it was easy, but to let you in on a little secret,I feel as if I almost cheated because in April of '61 I took delivery of a new red XKE Coupe, and every tiny detail is forever burned into my memory. Enjoyed it a lot and won many a Concours with it, but Lord, between the Lucas electrics, the Girling brakes, the SU carburetters, the Smith instruments and the inexperienced US dealer network's inabilty / unwillingness to work with me to make it the car everyone agreeed it should have been, all conspired to make a bitter old man of me long before my time. In the spirit of Mother's Day I too will make it a little easier by providing three images of the new 'mystery' car, but please be advised that it's so uncannily similar to another, much more famous and coveted car, made in the same country at the same time, and which looks very much like the machine you're supposed to guess. that it may actually prove more confusing than helpful.

vanellus Posted May 11, 2015 Share #7473 Posted May 11, 2015 Delage ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted May 11, 2015 Share #7474 Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Close, but not a Delage. To help narrow it down, it is French ( as you already guessed )and it's pre-war, and is considered one of the highlights of the "goutte d'eau" ( teardrop - drop of water ) school of design.

stuny Posted May 11, 2015 Share #7475 Posted May 11, 2015 Talbot Lago? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted May 11, 2015 Share #7476 Posted May 11, 2015 Absolutely correct ! Well done. I was going to hold out for the exact model name but that would have been too much. In any event, it's the rare 1939 Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Pourtout Coupe, of which less than thirty are known to have been built. Only four of this model had bodies by Marcel Pourtout - this is the last of the four. Obviously heavily influenced in its styling by the Bugatti Atlantique, it is nevertheless a magnificent example of the best this marque had to offer. There's one of these in a gorgeous Burgundy color at the Mullin Museum. Over to you, Stuart. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted May 12, 2015 Share #7477 Posted May 12, 2015 Beautiful, John. thank you. How about this one? I've cloned out the name of the manufacturer. Welcome, dear visitor!

John Z. Goriup Posted May 13, 2015 Share #7480 Posted May 13, 2015 Right country and era, but wrong marque. In that case I'll take a final stab and say that the shape of the badge and the number 8 leads me to think it's a Hudson Terraplane.
