I'm back!

For one point, please identify this car, the coachbuilder and the year.

Experts?

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #2 on:** May 29, 2012, 02:58:48 AM »

Is this a Delahaye?

João · « **Reply #3 on:** May 29, 2012, 05:09:52 AM »

Not a Delahaye.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #4 on:** May 29, 2012, 06:11:41 AM »

How about an 18CV Voisin?

I must say, it's quite an imposing car. I wish it was in my garage.

Farman?

Yes, it's a 18HP C3. Interesting, I have another name!

Locked for Craig Gillingham and sixtee5cuda.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #8 on:** May 30, 2012, 03:55:42 AM »

Radiose?

João · « **Reply #9 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:49:57 AM »

Nope.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #10 on:** May 30, 2012, 09:04:26 AM »

I've found an ad for the car that has this body, but it's just the brand of paint used, that's where 'Radiose' came from, and I'd say the Villemer reference as well. I'll keep looking.

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #11 on:** May 30, 2012, 09:12:40 AM »

I think Villemer is actually a car dealer. Ads from that period mention Carrosserie Villemer, but ads are the only mention I find of the name.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #12 on:** May 30, 2012, 09:16:23 AM »

I see, that makes sense now.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #13 on:** May 30, 2012, 09:55:41 AM »

That side porthole is similar to some Henri Labourdette? bodies of the same period.

João · « **Reply #14 on:** May 30, 2012, 10:04:17 PM »

Not bodied by Labourdette.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #15 on:** May 31, 2012, 01:46:49 AM »

Grummer?

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2012, 07:20:36 PM »

Letourneur & Marchand?

No,it's an obscure designer.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #19 on:** June 01, 2012, 12:54:20 AM »

Hmmm.... is there a way to tell from the design? I'm just curious to know if there is something about the body style that signifies a particular builder? Just so I have an idea for future reference, as I know very little about coachbuilders, and I'd like to know more.

I don't think so.

He built himself this coachwork.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #21 on:** June 02, 2012, 12:52:05 AM »

Mulbacher et Fils?

João · « **Reply #22 on:** June 02, 2012, 02:46:36 AM »

No, not by them.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #23 on:** June 02, 2012, 05:13:23 AM »

Ottin?

João · « **Reply #24 on:** June 02, 2012, 11:40:03 AM »

No.

Clue : Blue plane.
