Title: Solved - NEH 1650: Giannini Fiat 600 'May Britt' by Reggiano & Franceschi - 1956
Post by: Carnut on March 27, 2012, 08:01:23 AM
1 point for identifying what make this is, based on what, who built the body and when:

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

It looks like it was built in North America?
Title: Re: FW#5

Is it a French vehicle?
Title: Re: FW#5
Post by: fromwien on October 24, 2020, 06:43:39 AM
Not French, but not far from there...
Title: Re: FW#5
Post by: OldCrankshaft on October 24, 2020, 06:53:56 AM
German?

Even though it's not french, in a way, it looks kind of like a Renault Floride....

There are suttle differences though, such as the bonnet scoop, which isn't present on the floride, and the bumpers. The swerves and slopes of the Floride is what reminds me of it.

Not German, and no connection with Renault Floride/Caravelle....

It looks like it was built around the 40's - 50's.

Any connection with other companies? (Chassis, engines, etc.)

I did find some cars close to that design, but nothing with that front...
Title: Re: FW#5
Post by: fromwien on October 25, 2020, 04:08:55 AM
Not 40's, but 50's....
...and there is a connection with another company....
(Please only one question each post, according the rules....)
