Solved - NEH 1722: Jowett Jupiter 'Marion' Special - built in San Francisco
« on: April 05, 2012, 07:42:51 AM »
It's red car time!  What is this car's name, what is it based on and where was it built?

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Hey - that's 2 questions!

The high, blocky with rounded edges cowl suggests this was based on a Jowett Jupiter
