French?

Otto Puzzell · November 05, 2008, 05:31:13 PM

There is a French connection, but it is an American automobile.

Is Raymond Loewy the link? The wipers look a bit like those of the Studebaker coupes.

Allemano · November 05, 2008, 08:19:20 PM

Aaaaah, the Loewy designed Cadillac Eldorado from 1959 < link removed >

Otto Puzzell · November 06, 2008, 03:49:42 AM

Indeed! Not my cup of tea, exactly, but certainly cleaner than an off-the-rack 59 Caddy.

Allemano · November 06, 2008, 03:54:53 AM

I don't know any pretty car designed by Raimond Loewy. At least the Avanti is quite acceptable...

Otto Puzzell · November 06, 2008, 04:28:54 AM

1953 Studebaker Starliner

Allemano · November 06, 2008, 04:59:37 AM

Okay I've forgot that...

Quiller · May 05, 2009, 03:59:23 PM

Can you tell me the make and model designation of this car? If you can, expect a point ...

pguillem · May 05, 2009, 04:41:51 PM

I think it is the Cadillac 1959 by Raymond Loewy

Quiller · May 06, 2009, 03:13:16 AM

It is

Unfortunately

it's a rereun of http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=5396.0
But a point is still yours

Otto Puzzell · May 06, 2009, 03:37:06 AM

Merged

another view...

Two other pictures, with Loewy on the first one. I first knew this car by these pics and founf it pretty, until I saw the front end. Take note of the Studebaker wheelcovers and the french Englebert tires (the transformation was made in France).

And this, by the way, no Eldorado but a common Coupe DeVille. On the first picture you can see the remains of the side chrome molding that appeared on the series 62 coupe, but was deleted on the Eldorado Seville.
The topic's title needs correcting.

Great stuff!

Quiller · May 07, 2009, 07:09:19 AM

I second that. The French company that built this car was Pichon Parat, whose roster of designs is every bit as extraordinary as this machine

The Loewy Cadillac is slated for auction at the 2010 Barrett Jackson Auction.
It has undergone a full restoration in Gold body and White top.
Looks stunning!!!!

Another picture.

Otto Puzzell · August 01, 2015, 07:35:32 AM

Time for some period pics.
