Australian car, with the same name of a builder of neoclassic cars...the name is not the name of a man or the name of a place, but has got a meaning.

The neoclassic maker that shares its name with the puzzle car's maker was not inspired by a Bugatti or a Mercedes....
Title: Re: PJ - 325
Post by: Bugace on July 29, 2010, 12:08:10 PM
I'm temted too answer Illinga, because the front is very simular.  Sadly not the rear, and I can't think of a neoclassic either.

There is a maker in Australia called Daytona, could it be that?
Title: Re: PJ - 325
Post by: woodinsight on July 29, 2010, 01:09:38 PM
This is proving a difficult nut to crack.
I know it's a bit of a long shot but could the answer simply be Auburn.
There was an Australian manufacturer called Auburn Motorcar Co. of Melbourne around 1979.
I assumed they were building Auburn replicas but I have no more information on the company or the cars they were involved with.
Auburn of course means "reddish-brown" when referring to hair colour.
Title: Re: PJ - 325
Post by: Paul Jaray on July 29, 2010, 02:26:10 PM
Not Ilinga and not Auburn.
The other company, the one producing the neo-classic car, is American and the inspirating car is indeed american, but not an Auburn.
Title: Re: PJ - 325
Post by: Allemano on July 29, 2010, 02:44:20 PM
Maybe Cord? Could it be "Warrior" then?
Title: Re: PJ - 325
Post by: Paul Jaray on July 29, 2010, 03:20:40 PM
The puzzle car is not a Warrior and the neoclassic maker with the same name is not Cord-inspired.

Post by: pnegyesi on July 29, 2010, 03:45:41 PM
Are we talking about a Gibbon? It was a Packard-replica
Title: Re: PJ - 325
Post by: Paul Jaray on July 29, 2010, 03:56:01 PM
Not a Gibbon, but Packard was the muse....
Title: Re: PJ - 325
Post by: Allemano on July 29, 2010, 04:08:01 PM
It couldn't be Bayliff?
Title: Re: PJ - 325
Post by: Paul Jaray on July 29, 2010, 04:11:10 PM
Not that...but it won't take much...
Title: Re: PJ - 325

the neoclassic car has got a Packard radiator and the ad shows even a Packard mascotte on it, but it's not on exact replica of any model...
Title: Re: PJ - 325
