Post by: Wendax on January 22, 2011, 05:56:29 PM
I'm not completely sure, but I'd go for a Gendron & Michelot (also known as GM) 7 CV from around 1927.

Post by: guido66 on January 23, 2011, 05:58:55 AM
You're very close on the year, But it's not a GM
Title: Re: GG-236
Post by: Wendax on January 23, 2011, 08:21:06 AM
Going for the less obscure then. Is it a Mathis 8 CV Type MY, built 1926?

Though the car looks quite small the (Sizaire-Berwick and) Sizaire-Frères also had such a classic shaped radiator.
Btw, the scenery in the picture almost looks Dutch...
Title: Re: GG-236
Post by: guido66 on February 06, 2011, 01:26:03 PM
The scenery is Dutch! I still haven't read the right marque, though.

Title: Re: GG-236

Made in 1926?
Title: Re: GG-236
Post by: guido66 on March 19, 2011, 04:31:11 PM
My source says the photo is from 1926, but according to another source this manufacturer went out of business earlier. The photo was taken at a taxi company with the same name as the make of the car.

Another source that I've just found claims that the make existed a few years longer and that there was a Dutch company importing this make in 1926. If this source is correct you should be looking at makes that did exist for five years, sorry about that.

Not a Barron-Vialle (single word, remember?)

We have a winner! My congratulations to Pnegyesi  :thumbsup:

The photo was taken in front of the Induco taxi company in Amsterdam in 1926.
Title: Re: GG-236 Induco taxi
Post by: pnegyesi on March 20, 2011, 09:34:17 AM
I found a Dutch-sounding name, Van der Heyden related to Induco - so it was a glimmer of hope :)
Title: Re: GG-236 Induco taxi
Post by: woodinsight on March 20, 2011, 09:34:55 AM
Well done Pal, Induco was one of my next guesses....
Difficult to trawl through all the possibles for this type of car.
Title: Re: GG-236 Induco taxi
Post by: guido66 on March 20, 2011, 09:37:34 AM
Van der Heyden sounds Dutch indeed, but the importer was the Atax company in Arnhem, owned by a certain Ph. Schipper.
Title: Re: GG-236 Induco taxi
Post by: Wendax on March 20, 2011, 09:39:09 AM
Yes

The end of Induco is rather unsure. The dates differ from 1924 to 1928, five sources give four years  :)
