I'd say its a Grand Sport, but what we really want to know is who did the body.
It could be Bridee.

Well, you've ID'd the manufacturer, and the name of the coachbuilder that cloaked it - now, what it is?

Yes indeedy. LOCKED for you.

I can't photoshop so some very obvious clues were left on the puzzle photo. To get your point, please tell me the model of Talbot-Lago and the coachbuilder.

Yes indeed! It's great to award points to Rookies. Please keep coming back.

It was a 1948 chassis rebodied in 1952. (I never quite know how to spell the coachbuilder's name in respect of capital letters - should it be van den Plas? Maybe we have a Flemish member who can tell me).

They didn't seem to know themselves!
The only one missing is what BMC used - Vanden Plas!

And that's the reason you didn't find this car although it is a repost (wrongly titled Vanden Plas): http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=6294

Could someone merge them please?

So it's Van den Plas, van den Plas, Vanden Plas, Van Den Plas, and even Vandenplas. Still, they make nice chocolates and frites.

I just checked the Wikipedia entry - the company was first called Carosserie Van den Plas, but the family name is spelt van den Plas (which is I would expect), but after that the website calls them Vanden Plas. So that doesn't help much.

Strange things, these Flemish and Dutch names - reminds me of the Dutch striker Jan Venegoor of Hesselink. Try getting that printed on the back of a shirt.
