grobmotorix · December 18, 2007, 02:35:39 PM

that would have been way too easy, of course

Some similarities with the 1935 Hupmobile (the windshield being the more obvious). An early proposal ?

grobmotorix · December 19, 2007, 12:36:01 PM

no Hupmobile...

Wendax has sent me a personal message with the right solution, I think.

So this is solved!

Please let Wendax post his right answer and I´ll award him the point.

Thank you

Thanks grobmotorix,

but as you know I just wanted to tell you that this puzzle is a repost. This car is the FN Prince Albert Type 42A, built from 1934 to 1937.

Grobmotorix has formerly posted the front view as a puzzle: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=3345.0

Don't google this car. That unless you like body ornaments...

, I really had no idea what it was with those open rear wheels...

Thank you for your investigations, Wendax.

You're welcome. I knew I had this picture in one of my books, but couldn't find it. When looking for clues for some of woodinsight's puzzles, I looked through the Georgano and found it coincidentally. That's how it always goes, isn't it?
