I just know the coach builder ! for 1 point
Experts !
Messrs Blind and Hamfisted of South London?
Who is Messrs Blind and Hamfisted ? :D
Well, I wouldn't be surprised if that -hopefully one-off- body was affixed to a high-end French car maker such as Delahaye, Talbot or Delage. Am I going in the right direction?
Hello Alex ! ;)
I don't know the base of the car !
Was the coach builder French?
Yes !
could it be a Cadillac Eldorado by Saoutchik?
Not by Saoutchik ,but perhaps an American car !
Dubos? The front grill reminds me -a bit- of a Voisin bodied by Dubos...

Pros !
Another Henon creation?

Just for running the schmilblick. Any relation with Amédée Gordini ? The grille looks somewhat similar...
No relation with Amédée Gordini !
Is it bodied by Deho ?

The coachbuilder is French, are the underpinnings a(chassis and engine) also French?
Was the car bodied by a caravan manufacturer? It looks like it could be GRP.

Sorry for not responding, I have just noticed your query.
Messrs Blind and Hamfisted are a bodybuilding firm which are located purely in my imagination. They have workers and designers who must be both blind not to be able to see what their creation looks like and hamfisted enough to actually turn out something as shoddy and misshapen as this awful thing appears to be. ;D ;D
You'll have to produce a Cuylerese dictionary for those amongst us whose first language is not English Richard!
;D ;D
bodied by Serge SERT between 1947 and 1953
:P
Yes ! We have the same readings ;)
1 point for GV CREATIONS !
Am I correct in assuming we still aren't certain of the chassis manufacturer? In the context of its time (1947 - 1953), I don't really think it's all that bad. Obviously a larger car by European standards, and apparently powerful enough to pull a caravan. Hopefully now that GV has correctly identified the coachbuilder (well done, by the way), we can find out what it is. A good and challenging puzzle.
