Rona!d Posted June 19, 2022 Share #17721 Posted June 19, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) OK, so a normal Fiat Topolino. Not sure if there would have been any differences in the shown crop to the french license make Simca Cinq which I also had in mind (those are pretty rare nowadays compared to the italian version). Philip, that beetle with the rare window is really an interesting one. Will post the next car this sunday. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted June 21, 2022 Share #17734 Posted June 21, 2022 After the last crop at least we know for sure it's not a Tucker, which is one of the very few other cars I know of with a center-mounted head light. The last crop shows three the little decorative portholes in the rather bulbous hood, and that feature, along with some other design elements ( 'suicide doors', the shape of the soft top, the well-defined grille opening and the selection of lights and various hardware ) reminds me of some of the late 1940s pininfarina studies Battista did for FIAT, who were trying to break into more luxurious markets with larger engines and chassis. Most of those also used steel wheels as opposed to the more standard wire wheels. Other than that I don't have a definitive manufacturer or model in mind.

stuny Posted June 21, 2022 Share #17735 Posted June 21, 2022 What a strange one - the rear looks like a 1940 Lincoln Continental, the tiny portholes on the edge of the bonnet make me think of a Buick of the sae era. the three headlights are not a Tucker, Austin A90 nor Tartra that I know of. Hmmm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted June 21, 2022 Share #17736 Posted June 21, 2022 hektor, are you around and have an idea before I give further hints? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted June 21, 2022 Share #17737 Posted June 21, 2022 OK, so the maker is well known in the classic car world. It has a chassis from the 1930s and got professionally rebodied in 1949/50 by a coachbuilder who made very famous cars which partly reach super premium prices today. It is a premium car with some interesting technical features. In reality it is larger than it probably appears in my photos. In the late 1940s early 1950s it wasn‘t uncommon to modernize the body of such cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted June 21, 2022 Share #17738 Posted June 21, 2022 Back now from travelling and donning a “thinking cap” It’s not immediately familiar but has some ‘echoes’ …pinning down the coachbuilder from the styling cues is the first step. An intruiging puzzle car! 🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted June 21, 2022 Share #17739 Posted June 21, 2022 There is a Talbot Lago T26 with three headlights by Figoni and 6 cylinders but I am not sure this is it. Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
