Title: Ennui #(2)482 - Rauch & Lang
Post by: Otto Puzzell on June 26, 2013, 04:41:55 AM

For one point: What is this car?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Majola from about 1920?

I'm afraid the postcard that was mailed in 1920 from Brussels has the wrong car

First picture below shows what a 1920's Majola looks like, 2 or 4 cylinder petrol engines.

Second picture is a Rauch & Lang electric car, notice the rectangular side lamps with oval lenses and the rather square rear end boot/trunk

Third picture is a Detroit Electric Brougham, notice the tapered side lamps and the more rounded rear end.

The Rauch & Lang and the Detroit Electric look very alike, but the side lamps and boot/trunk line is slightly different, these two details were what made me choose Rauch & Lang for my first answer.

I have just noticed another major difference between the two electric cars, the Rauch & Lang has suicide doors, same as the puzzle car and the Detroit Electric doesn't.

I think Ropat is correct - can we have the puzzle heading changed ?
