Who knows this car?
Up!
Ballot?
Not french at all...
Still too easy for the pro´s.
I´ll help a little bit: it´s american.
Duesenberg?
YES. Locked for you!
Is it the 1921 car?
Most possible yes. But im out for the weekend. I´ll check it when I´ll be back at monday morning.
:bump:
Oh, I´ve totally forgotten about this one...
And I´ve got to admit that I´ve made a kind of a blunder.
This car is NOT american at all, it IS french (but not a Ballot)...
New start and open for all again.
It was the right hand exhaust that suggested Duesenberg to me.
If it's French is it a Talbot from 1921 or so?
The marque is just a bit more obscure than Talbot, but quite known to most of us here at autopuzzles.com, I´d guess.
1926 Delage 1.5L?
Not a Delage.
A Gregoire of about 1920?
The make is a bit more exclusive than Gregoire.
Salmson, about 1926?
Not a Salmson, you´re on the wrong side of the alphabet...
It looks too big to be an Amilcar. We're not talking Bugatti, are we?
No and no, but alphabetically you´ve almost hit the right company...
I hate just playing a guessing game and I am running out of names.
Corre-La Licorne?
Sorry for that,
Let´s give tha last hint:
Alphabetically it is located in between Amilcar and Bugatti and the make is quite famous for their last cars around 1930.
Benova?
No, much better known...
Well, I found some BNC sports cars (cycle fenders as opposed to open wheel cars) from 1926 to 1929 that look similar.
Between BNC and Bugatti.
Now someone must find it... :P
Hmmm. Bollee, Breese and (very unlikely) Bucciali.
So? Dare it...
Well, I'll be darned. A 1924 Bucciali Type B6. I found a photo if you'd like me to post it.
RtR
YES!
Finally I can award you this point.
The car still exists - you may posts any pic here, of course.
Finally is right! :) The car (I guess it's a one-off) is at the Mullin museum in Oxnard, California. I've never been there. 'Course the last time I was in an auto museum in SoCal was when the Briggs Cunningham museum was still in existence. Here's a photo:
To be precise, in 1924 the Bucciali brothers called their cars just "Buc", not Bucciali. I have the type as AB6. Three of them were built, but all were unsuccessful at the races.
You´re right with the "BUC" name, of course. I´ve changed the title line.
What's this car and when?
Expert!
Pros!
That's a BUC 'La Torpille' from 1924 with Antonio et Paul-Albert Bucciali.
Easily readable on the puzzle picture! ;D
