Hmmmm.....tiny little tail lights, wide whites and "peanut shell" hubcaps. Something in the 1948 -1951 range, Bulbous but not unattractive styling. Looks like a Hudson to me.....

Not a Hudson.

Is it a Cadillac, with a Pininfarina body? I know that one was coachbuilt for Rita Hayworth in the early '50's, but don't know if this was it...

You can tell it's snowing where I am, so I've nowt better to do than dredge through these older unsolved puzzles.

Not a Nash, Healey, or Nash-Healey.

For some reason, I'm thinking... Packard? 1948 Vignale perhaps?

porridgehead · « **Reply #12 on:** February 10, 2007, 01:24:39 PM »

Not a Vignale Packard? Dang, I coulda sworn...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2007, 04:22:29 AM »

I didn't say it was or wasn't. After not solving the puzzle for two months, you need a right away answer, eh?

Packard by Vignale it is.

In 1948, Ralph Marano's Packard cabriolet was created by Carrozzeria Vignale of Turin, Italy, from a pre-war One-Twenty with separate fenders and headlights. Its impeccable proportions earned the Chairman's Choice Award from Bruce Wennerstrom at the 2003 Greenwich Concours.

I thought instant gratification was what the intarweb is all about! Besides, I know my inherant rightness is so impressive that it's easy to get lost in, which is why I gave you 24 hours to comtemplate it.

That and I figured I slipped below the radar.

See, you can't go below our radar.

The car is following the smiley using our new technology.
