Nice anonymous cars, and who cares?
« on: August 26, 2010, 12:08:08 PM »
Not a puzzle, and no information requested.

Only picture of oddballs for the sake of it.
Lett's start with this one found on Shorpy.
No need to ask what it is. The picture was pobably posted by this man's son or grandson, and he just as probably built the car himself. Or it was his cousin or brother in law. It's nice, that's all.
Wouldn't you love to have had a dad like that?

Wow! The last one is nice. I particularly appreciate the use of whitewall tires and luxurious wheelcovers on these things.

If the expression "boxy design" didn't exist yet, it would be time to invent it.

I always say: who cares for the appearance of the rest, as long as the whitewall tires are perfect?

I've never seen a car where the seets are the main styling feature of the cars.
And A pillars direct from the local hardware store.

Thanks!
You right on the Voisin part. That's the only info I remember that was added by this picture,is that he tried to built is own.
Licence plate is registered as a Citroën, so that is probably the base

I've absolutly no idea how or where I got this, or if it even extisted. Nice and very anonymous to me  ;)  

How about this:

Make and model designation of this car and who is that coachbuilder?  ;D
