SACO

Not DB and not Barbier !

Modified Facel Vega Facellia ?

Wendax


nicanary

It looks very similar to the barquette built in 1956 by Alain Bocquet based on a Simca P60.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

SACO

Not Facellia and not Simca based !

nicanary

The rear deck seems quite long - is this car rear-engined ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

oko94

Is it based on the chassis of a mass produced car ?

targhediferro

Peugeot based...not 403 and 404...perhaps 203?

nicanary

Is this possibly an early MD-Peugeot?  I know they were mainly pretty coupes, but maybe there was a prototype barquette. I'm getting desperate now!

Not rear-engined !
Not based on the chassis of a mass produced car !
And not Peugeot based !

SACO

Not Gregoire and not Chenard et Walker !

nicanary

I think that maybe this is a pre-war car which has been rebodied. Amilcar?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

SACO

Not a Rosengart and not an Amilcar !
It's a post-war car with a body by a coach builder !

oko94

French Ford engine ?

nicanary

I expect others have done the same thing, but I've just gone through a list of all known French car makers, concentrating on marques which were built in the period 1945-1960. I have discounted all major manufacturers, and any makes which were powered by rear engine, or engines provided by major makers. The puzzle car does not exist!  ;D

It's not-
Rosier
Salmson
Arista
DB
Barbier
Facel Vega
Amilcar
Rosengart
Gregoire
Chenard Walcker

I have discounted luxury marques like Delahaye and Delage - the puzzle car looks too small.

I have been through the entry lists for Montlhery in the appropriate period, and nothing fits! Surely it's not a rebodied Lambert ?

If nicanary is that confused, SACO may have unearthed something really interesting  ;D

That's very kind of you to say, but if Wendax can't get it solved, then we've really got problems!
