THOR #211

[thorax]

Sorry for the poor quality of the picture: need to know the base and the coachbuilder of this vehicle (I only know where the picture was taken and when )

[Alfa_Japan]

Is the base an OM? The Alfa Romeo bus behind this quiz vehicle is also a nice one by the way.

1938 OM Taurus 380 by Portesi?

[thorax]

the picture is from '50: do you have a proof of what you say

[Alfa_Japan]

The Torpedo body style would usually indicate a build year earlier that the fifties for OM. However the short wheelbase is pointing towards an OM Leocino. My guess is OM Leocino with body by Portesi.

[marmer]

Look on Myn Transport Blog for Portesi or OM.  You'll see an example with the front fender skirts.

this is not a proof

experts!

[thorax]

pros!

[targhediferro]

My guess is Fiat 615 by Boneschi.

[thorax]

sorry I don't know: do you have a better picture?

[targhediferro]

No, Sorry.

[D-type]

I'm confused.  Is it an OM chassis or not?

[thorax]

I'd like to know it

[SACO]

Perhaps " sewing machine Simca " by Castagna ?

[Wendax]

The windows look different to me. 

[thorax]

Saco: are you sure that is from Castagna? based on a OM or Fiat?

[SACO]

Sorry , I haven't found my source !

[marmer]

1938 OM Taurus with body by Portesi.

[Hiawatha]
