Delage?

Ray B. · September 24, 2008, 10:38:41 AM

Right continent, but not a Delage.

Arunas · October 10, 2008, 10:30:20 AM

British? French?

Ray B. · October 10, 2008, 11:41:33 AM

Neither...

Otto Puzzell · October 10, 2008, 11:51:50 AM

I think it's a Fiat of some sort...

Ray B. · October 10, 2008, 12:07:47 PM

Not Italian either.

Otto Puzzell · October 10, 2008, 12:56:21 PM

D'oh!

Spain? I don't love this game, but felt pity...

Ray B. · December 30, 2008, 06:14:38 AM

You don't love it, and I don't either, but it won't last because you guessed right.

Allemano · December 30, 2008, 06:34:32 AM

Spain-Switzerland?

Paul Jaray · January 09, 2009, 12:42:45 PM

Hi, is this a SLM Pescara V16 drophead coupe from 1935?

Ray B. · January 09, 2009, 03:11:46 PM

Yes it is. Sorry, Allemano, I hadn't replied to your "Spain-Switzerland" post, because I had the car as a Nacional Pescara, and I had no idea of the Swiss connection.
I think that Nacional Pescara is correct, but I checked and read that it was built by the swiss locomotive builder SLM.

Paul Jaray · January 09, 2009, 03:43:48 PM

"....in 1934 SLM made a rather dramatic second venture in the passenger car field. Based on the drawings of Marquis de Pescara, who had build the Nacional-Pescara in Spain, the prototype SLM-Pescara was built."

I'll give a point to the puzzler who will discover the maker of this car, and another point to the one who will tell me the name of the coachbuilder who dressed this car some years later its first delivery, but for this question I need some proves, becouse I don't know who he is.

ropat53 · October 10, 2013, 10:14:35 AM

Austrian, it looks like it could be a Steyr?

targhediferro · October 10, 2013, 10:29:35 AM

Not Austrian so not a Steyr.

ropat53 · October 10, 2013, 10:31:18 AM

French?

targhediferro · October 10, 2013, 10:41:37 AM

Not french. I have to clear that I don't know if the coachbuilder, neither if the body comes from the chassis maker or not, but the car is not french.
