Please identify this car for a point. I only know what the owner mentioned: chassis, coachbuilder and model year.

Let me hazard a guess ....... 1951 Nash (bath tub coupe) cut down for a convertible appearance?

Was it once a Buick?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #6 on:** October 19, 2012, 04:56:24 AM »

yes, it started its life as a Buick. Otto, you now have a lock for 24 hours

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #7 on:** October 23, 2012, 05:17:02 AM »

Many hours later - no idea

Actually quite the decent design.
Sure wished a little more was shown in the pic.
Stab in the dark, the wiper pedestals remind me of late 40's chev and buick.

Based on a late 40's Buick/GM.

We already know it's a Buick.

Coachbuilder is not American

Spohn?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** October 26, 2012, 01:42:26 PM »

That grille looks like the 'touched by Pininfarina' Nash's of the 1950's.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #14 on:** October 26, 2012, 02:17:42 PM »

Not spohn or pf

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** October 26, 2012, 04:03:00 PM »

I thought it a bit garish for Pininfarina

Was this customized for somebody in show business?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #16 on:** October 27, 2012, 12:20:37 AM »

I don't know. I only know the the donor and the coachbuilder, but I have no info on the original customer

Bohman & Schwartz?

Ameikanska Karosseri, Stockholm?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #19 on:** October 27, 2012, 04:47:25 PM »

Neither of the two mentioned, but Bohman&Schwartz are closer in terms of recognition

Reinbolt & Christé?

Good continent, wrong country and company

woodinsight · « **Reply #22 on:** October 28, 2012, 01:40:18 PM »
