Do you remember the Dodge Charger Mk3 or its Matchbox Superfast counterpart? Well, someone had that rear hinged roof idea before.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its coachbuilder.

If it might help, I remember it was a Peugeot and was featured in a couple of magazine.

My contemporary source is from 1926, so you might be right with the year. And yes, it is a Peugeot.

Paul Jaray

Aargh..I found the 1st magazine with that car...the one with not the answer, it seems!

Wendax

Are you sure? Locked for you.

I tried to find it in the whole issue but in the long article where this picture is featured there is not.
I suspect I'm looking in the wrong magazine!
Is it a December issue from a 1926 Europa Motor magazine?

Wendax

I have it from a different source, don't know which magazine. But the reason for the lock is mainly that the solution is in your post.


Wendax

Well, that probably would have been the coachbuilder's name, if it came from Germany. One last step to the solution.

Paul Jaray

It is the translation of those words then, like Ville et Sport?

Wendax

Yes, bodied by Carrosserie Ville et Sport from Puteaux.

 :doh: My source just tranlsated yours...the missing part of my picture shows the same cars (according to numbers & caption).
There was also the concrete-bodied car.
