Title: Solved - NEH 1473: 1937 Bugatti T57 rebodied by Ghia-Aigle 1952
Post by: Carnut on January 10, 2012, 05:52:11 AM
What's this car, who built it and when - for 1 point.

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Bugatti Ghia Aigle T 57 chassis?

Yes, that is indeed the car.
For the point though I still need to know when it was built - also when the car on which it is based was built (it's quite different!)

Locked for your reply.

1937 - 1951

That'll do.
Understand the base car was built in 1937 and rebodied by Ghia-Aigle in 1952.
Well done.

Time for the experts to give it a try.

Up!


(In spite of the Valiant symbol, this car has no connection to Plymouth)

LOCKED for BentleyBob

Ghia of Italy?
Title: Re: WTH # 108
Post by: bentleybob on October 10, 2012, 06:15:32 PM
I think it may be Ghia Aigle of Switzerland, though they worked in close operation with their Italian counterparts.
