Title: Solved - NEH 1672: Ghia Alfa-Romeo 6C 2500 'Supergioiello' - 1950
Post by: Carnut on March 21, 2012, 08:55:00 AM
Identify this car, its builder and when it was made, for 1 point?

Google Search by Image 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 Search by Image 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!

That's it, yes, although I have the year as 1950.
Apparently it has a unique tubular chassis designed by Gilco.
Here's a front view of this beautiful car:

And now for something completely different.  (Or not very different at all)

For one point, provide the year, make, model, and coachbuilder of this shiny coupe.

... Supergioiello, chassisnumber #64251. And it's from 1947 made by Ghia!

One point to CG for correctly providing the year, make, and model.

One point to Delorean for providing the coachbuilder and the name Supergioiello.  Internet sources are unclear on the year the car was built.  1947, 1949, or 1950.

I think it is 1950. as the 'Supergioiello' is actually a development of the 'Gioiello' from slightly earlier (see www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=18302.0 )

I was convinced I had already posted this stunningly beautiful car as a puzzle, but it simply doesn't seem to be there, so it must have been in my dreams...!:

I posted this puzzle because of the previous 'Gioiello' puzzle.  The 'Gioiello' looks nothing like an Alfa, but the 'Supergioiello' has an obvious Alfa front.

Sometimes the search works, sometimes it does not.

If you look carefully, one thread is titled 'Supergioiella' and the other 'Supergioiello' and the single letter difference confuses the computer!

Thanks.
I've merged them (and changed my typo in the title - thanks D-Type and sorry for causing the confusion with that..!)
