Teardrop styling at its best.

For one point, please respond and identify this car as well as the year it was built.

Where are the Amici dell Automobile Italiana?

It is not an obscure company I am looking for.

Inspired by aircraft. Italian. Not obscure.

Chiribiri ?
Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: Wendax on July 25, 2013, 09:14:47 AM
Not Chiribiri

Diatto?
Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: Wendax on July 26, 2013, 04:05:19 PM
Yes, locked for you to find the year and the possible base car.
Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: pnegyesi on July 28, 2013, 01:10:21 AM
year should be around 1924. Is it correct?
Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: Wendax on July 28, 2013, 03:29:00 AM
Some years too late
Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: pnegyesi on July 28, 2013, 03:56:40 AM
1920?
Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: Wendax on July 28, 2013, 07:14:12 AM
Yes. Any ideas about the base chassis? Still locked for you.
Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: pnegyesi on July 28, 2013, 07:32:22 AM
Tipo 30?
Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: Wendax on July 28, 2013, 08:18:43 AM
You certainly found the ad I took the picture from. But I found another one which connects it to a Diatto model, and it is not the Tipo 30, which was built using a Bugatti licence.

I was going to name the car, but a search reveals it's not been a puzzle before.

It has been and the thread I linked to is it - it dates from a time when we didn't always put the answer in the thread title.

My eyesight is worrying. I didn't even see that link the first time round.
