Identify the marque, model , year and coachbuilder for one point. :)

Experts ?

Ferrari 166 Inter, Vignale, about 1951
-
Not a Ferrari 166 Inter !
-
ummm: Not a Cisitalia, because the roof line is different (as far as I know);
Not a Lancia, because Left Hand Drive (than Aurelias by Vignale I know are all different)
Quite sure it is a Vignale;
It looks like a Fiat 1100 S by Vignale from 1951, even the port-holes and the borrani wheels don't
match.
My guess, any way is this: Fiat 1100 coupè Vignale, about 1951
-
Not a Fiat 1100 !
-
Is it a Cisitalia by Vignale I don't know?

1947 Bugatti Type 73A Coach at the Musée National de l'Automobile, the picture has been flipped, the license plate on the Hotchkiss Gregoire is reversed

Attention, there are many mirrors to the museum :o
-
Yes ,it's a Bugatti at the Musée National de l'Automobile ( not a 73A )
Locked for ropat !

It seems someone tried several times to picture that mirror!
(BTW we have a rule against mirrored pictures...but this is a regular picture of a mirror! ;D)
