Whatsit ? I don't know !
During a " Rallye international Gastronomique "
Swiss licence plate, looks like a Bernath body, but that's only a guess, no proof.
Bernath built around 25 cabriolets on chassis from Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Citroën, Talbot and Jaguar.

and I have a pic of the Talbot, one tagged as Mercedes (license GE30782 and GE30454) plus 1 unidentified (NE9338 - another Alfa?).
And do you know the logo on radiator grill ? Peugeot ?
That would be my guess, yes.
Wow! Nice cars Paul, thanks :thumbsup:
I would not be at all surprised if this is a pre-war car (say a Lincoln Zephyr Convertible), which has been modernised immediately post war. Bernath is quite a possible option. The treatment of the sills looks quite old fashioned to me, other than other Bernath creations. I also note that the car is left hand drive, so either an American or a German chassis would appear likely to me other than Franch, Italian or English, which were often still in RHD, and a certain group of users in Switzerland preferred this because of driving in the mountains.
There is a nice styling similarity to another Swiss car: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=12026.0
Carrossier A.Moret et Fils, Genève, Switzerland. Based on Peugeot 402 Cabriolet, circa 1945?
:thumbsup: Doubtless it !
1 point for you !
