Wendax,
The grill reminds me of Dodge, late 30's- 47
The headlights look GM- ish
The hubcaps reming me of packard.
My guess is Packard Chassis, era of design, 1940's?

Since the guess about the gm-ish lights is correct>>
Harleys Y Job was from 1938, so if this is GM-ish for headlights, Pontiac, 1948, conceptual design?

Hubcaps still look like packard though.

Title: Re: Wendax 365
Post by: Wendax on November 02, 2011, 11:01:12 AM

It is not a design study by GM. This car just used GM headlamps, but was conceived by a small company.
