It was a Lincoln Town Car.
Odds are it's a Zimmer... monstrosity.
Not a Zimmer.
God... someone else is making these...
;D
Classic Motor Carriages Tiffany?
Nice try, but no...
Christmas is getting ever closer... another gift for the Experts.
Suere is a dead ringer for a Zimmer Golden Spirit 4-Door Sedan. The bumpers, fenders, fender-mounted signals, etc., are a direct copy. The only diference I can readily see is the wheels.
Of course I see your point. It's more or less a copy - obviously it's the same idea, based on the same car. But this one has another name, and is manufactured by another company. It is also, reportedly, currently in production.
Obvious, too, is the fact that neither Zimmer nor the manufacturer of this car mentions the other car on their respective web pages. Why admit that it's the same car when all your customers care about is exclusivity?
Then again, Ford/Mercury/Lincoln, or for that matter Peugeot/Citroën, have never officially talked about their 'brand marketing' strategy of just putting another grille or badge on the same car, either. Instead, cars are marketed as purely Lincoln, purely Mercury, purely Citroën, although it's plain for all to see that the vehicles are the same. So it's nothing new that one 'marque' does not mention the other producing the same car..
Clénet "Something"?
Not a Clénet - but yes, that's also up the same alley. There have actually been quite a lot of manufacturers of neo-classic cars, although there are not too many that are still building cars. This one is quite obscure - I admit I hadn't heard of it just some months ago.
Mitsuoka?
Nope. Wrong country, wrong continent.
Excalibur?
I'm actually embarrassed that I know this many Neo Classic companies...
Hi, normally I'll check by myself but...is it among these?:
Archer
Concorde
Easer Limousine
Excellence Motor Carriage
Johnson
JPR
Matco
Prinzing
Sparks
Sunrise
Zaiker
I've got few pics of all of them but no one seems like that....
I like how we're all trying to carpet bomb this thing off the main page.

I was thinking Easer, but Easer is a Lincoln Limo with an Excalibur front end on it. They don't offer a 4 door.
This more or less confirms something that I'd already guessed: The reason why you haven't figured this one out yet is probably not because you can't think of the right manufacturer - it's because you've never heard of it. So no, it's not any of the mentioned manufacturers.
I like your answer, Paul - it also tells me that several of the neo-classics that I have lying around for later posting are just as obscure as I thought, as they are not among those that you listed... ;D
Well, this is just less than a half of the list of neo-classics that I've stored in my database, but knowing your previous posts I think we are all going to face hard days...
;D I'm amused!
May I add:
Archer
Acquila
Baron
Blackstone
Corsair
Delegance
De Courville
Excelerator
Empress
Gatsby
Golden Eagle
Griffin
Luxxor
Phantom
Spartan
Templar....
Please do! And I will continue to be amused - because it's none of those!
Those other cars I mentioned aren't on that list either ;)
Classic
Creusere
Dante
Di Napoli
Diamond
Doval
Moselle
Wasil
Or is it probably there....

And not there, either...
No slapping from Chapel: It's not a de la Chapelle.
Here's a clue for you: The model designation of this car is the same as a quite famous movie.
Death Race 2000?
;D
Good one. The movie in question is not one that focuses mainly on cars.

Duck Soup?
I'm not really sure if I should take that suggestion seriously... :D
Town Without Pity?
I will bet it's a Godfather Classic ! The one that they built on a newer Thunderbird looked much better !
Luxxor got it!
It's a Palazzi Godfather Sedan!
What a triumphal entry!
http://www.palazzimotorcars.com/main1.htm
A triumphant start for Luxxor, indeed! As I asked for make and model designation, I'd normally give this to Paul Jaray, but since Luxxor is new I'll be generous and award a point to each of the two entrants. It is, as you say, the Palazzi Motorcars Godfathers Sedan, and as our new member states, their Roadster is much more comfortable on the eyes. If you can stand neo-classics at all, that is.
Welcome to AutoPuzzles, Luxxor!
ew.
a new manufacturer...
