AZach Posted August 3, 2022 Share #18124 Posted August 3, 2022 Stuart, actually the more "rural" version: Mini Countryman 4WD PHEV. I think close enough, so back to You. Here it is without "snow camouflage": Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted August 3, 2022 Share #18126 Posted August 3, 2022 By the thickness of the windows, it must have armoured/bullet proof glass. I don't think it is the 1932 Limo, originally belonging to Al Capone, which was confiscated by the Internal Revenue Service and then passed to the Secret Service, for FDR's use after the outbreak of war in 1941. It was the only vehicle with armoured glass available at short notice but quickly replaced as the body was not bullet proof. Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted August 3, 2022 Share #18127 Posted August 3, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes to bulletproof/armored. that's one of the 3 extra credits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted August 3, 2022 Share #18128 Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) I immediately had started going through known Al Capone vehicles...😀 Looks a little later period so...🤔 Edited August 3, 2022 by NigelG Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted August 3, 2022 Share #18129 Posted August 3, 2022 I'm wondering if this car was used by someone outside of the USA - despite appearances? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 4, 2022 Share #18130 Posted August 4, 2022 Nigel, I wondered if it was one of the Banana Republic post war dictators, like Batista, Peron or Trujillo. It is a bit like a ZIS 112 or 115 (Packard Copies), as used by Stalin but those had rounded corners at the top outer of the front windows.

John Z. Goriup Posted August 4, 2022 Share #18131 Posted August 4, 2022 I'll have to pass on the 'bonus points' since I'm not familiar with the details, but the original car underneath all that bullet-proof glass looks to be a 1949 or 1950 Cadillac sedan.

It gives off distinctively “Franco-style” tinpot or maybe non-tinpot minority government/military junta vibes but I’m happy to be way off the mark…who else needs a bullet-proof car?

stuny Posted August 4, 2022 Share #18135 Posted August 4, 2022 Sorry - left for the beach at 5:00 this morning and just got back. John got it with a '50 Caddy sedan, and Hektor identified where the car is. It's a lovely museum worth the visit if you're ever anywhere near there. The other special feature was the tilt-out windscreens so the "torpedoes" could shoot at rivals. the car was owned by Los Angeles racketeer Mickey Cohen. I most highly recommend the movie, L.A. Confidential, which starts when Mickey Cohen is arrested. Welcome, dear visitor!

John Z. Goriup Posted August 5, 2022 Share #18136 Posted August 5, 2022 Thank you, Stuart. I happened to have one at the ready in case I identified the gangster Caddy and offer the following as the next puzzle car. I'll be leaving during the weekend for a few days of flyfishing in the mountains to get away from the heat in Boise and the smoke so generously donated by neighboring states that are on fire. The usual info if you please; make, model, approximate vintage......bonus points - for whatever those are worth) - if you can name the coach builder. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!
