Is it somehow related to a 1952 BMC from the USA?

A very strong guess! I'd say it's a custom car, but have no idea what it is...

It predates that
And yes, it is a one-off

Any possibility that it's from Chicago by Joseph Neidlinger, Kaiser-based, perhaps?

Quiller · January 04, 2010, 06:38:31 PM

That doesn't match what I have about this...
(It is American though!)

This car is called the Rogue.

It was constructed by Robert A. Monroe of New York City NY with the help of Alexis Dowydoff.

Based on a 1937 Dodge chassis, the car incorporated parts from many different US makes.
Steering - Chrysler
Brakes - Auburn
Wheels - Cadillac
Fenders - Oldsmobile
Grille - Plymouth
Windshield - Cord
Bumpers - Frazer
Transmission - Cadillac
et., etc.

Engine is a V-8 Cadillac with an output of around 200 bhp.

The Rogue was completed in 1950.

Wow, finally!
I had just a rendering of this car and it's totally different!

Quiller · September 14, 2010, 08:14:18 AM

That's the machine

Paul Jaray · September 14, 2010, 08:21:54 AM

Is there anything on the web or does it come from a book\magazine?

woodinsight · September 14, 2010, 09:04:24 AM

Haven't searched for it on the web.
Found it by chance in a US book cum magazine of the 1950s when I was looking for something else.
I can PM you the name if you want it

I will appreciate a lot, thank you.

The instrument panel looks to have come from a Cord 810.
