Doesn't look like the car for everyday use, but did it actually race? Or am I mistaken with its purpose?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #3 on:** March 20, 2009, 08:43:21 AM »

Yes, this is a bit of a specialized breed - or should I say hybrid?

(no - not gas/electric, but hybrid in the animal husbandry sense of the word)

Engine swap you mean? That big bonnet so much reminds me of the one on Fiat S76, so maybe that's the engine used?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #5 on:** March 20, 2009, 09:58:26 AM »

You are thinking along the right path, but no Fiat engine here.

By the way, that grille also looks very Mercedes like. Would it lead to something?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #7 on:** March 22, 2009, 09:47:01 AM »

It would not.

Isotta-Fraschini somewhere in there?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** March 25, 2009, 04:16:00 AM »

To the best of my knowledge, there are no Isotta-Fraschini mechanical components in this car.

This car seems to have no gear shifter... Is it steam powered?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** August 08, 2009, 08:55:00 AM »

No sir.

It´s an Abadal from Spain?

Did the painting help?

Locked for 24 hours for you to finish this off.

That´s the Abadal-Buick! ,Buick powered with Abadal coachwork...and I believe that who is driving this one is Francisco (Paco) Abadal.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2009, 03:46:58 AM »

Well done!Two more points on offer for the Puzzler who can name the lady in the painting, and who painted her.

Ray B. · « **Reply #24 on:** August 12, 2009, 05:12:45 AM »

It is Sefiora Abadal De’Argemi, painted by Salvador Dali in 1926.
