First question to narrow things down - is it European?

Isotta Fraschini?

Not an Isotta Fraschini,Bugatti,or Lancia ....and not a Stabilimenti Farina or Pininfarina body.

Take a look at the shape....

Fiat 2800 with Touring body

Allemano · « **Reply #11 on:** March 02, 2011, 01:20:26 PM »

I would say Fiat and Touring as well, but rather a 1937 1500/6 Berlinetta. The engine doesn't seem to be that big...

Yes! It's a Fiat made by Touring.Now I need a proof that it's a 2800,and I need the year too.

Yes Allemano...I don't think so it's a 2800..they were produced between 1938 and 1944...(not the year that I have)
I believe it's a 1500 too...

Wendax · « **Reply #13 on:** March 02, 2011, 01:32:23 PM »

It probably is a 1500/6 from 1937.

João · « **Reply #14 on:** March 02, 2011, 01:45:28 PM »

No,it's newer...look the rear window,it's smaller...

I'll add more pictures

Allemano · « **Reply #15 on:** March 02, 2011, 01:55:33 PM »

This one's from 1938:

It's hard to say something definite about the windows as the roof got distorted.

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** March 02, 2011, 02:03:19 PM »

This one's from 1949, still not the right rear window.

João · « **Reply #17 on:** March 02, 2011, 02:14:54 PM »

I believe it's from late 40s... and it's not an Aerlux

Here they are :

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #18 on:** March 02, 2011, 02:55:36 PM »

In Sannia's book there is a picture of a 1500D berlinetta Superleggera of 1948...I'll try to upload it.

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** March 02, 2011, 03:03:04 PM »

Your pic shows the same car as I have shown two posts above, just from upfront

João · « **Reply #20 on:** March 02, 2011, 03:06:28 PM »

Yes,and it's an Aerlux...the trunk is smaller too

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #21 on:** March 02, 2011, 03:07:22 PM »

You are right...that is not from Sannia's book, of course, but it's just the same.
I'll try to upload the 2 versions of the 2800, then...these 2 versions have a similar back, different from the one you (we) posted...

The 2800 :

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #23 on:** March 02, 2011, 03:12:25 PM »

Thank you, that was the later version I was going to upload. The other has just some differences in the nose treatment.
