Title: SOLVED: WTH # 097 - 1934 Hotchkiss Aeroprofil by Gaston Grümmer
Post by: sixtee5cuda on September 17, 2012, 05:17:10 PM

For one point, give the year, make, model, and coachbuilder of this unusual car.

(A hint:  Trying to complete the set)

Maker perhaps Hotchkiss with the grille details removed??

I did not alter the grill.  This car is a Hotchkiss.

Puzzle is locked for 24 hours for Bill Murray to find the rest of the answer.

Locked for MSRGRT.  20CV is not the model I have for this 1934 Hotchkiss Aeroprofil by Gaston Grummer.  I'm looking for a number.

have to admit I am somewhat confused, some sources say it is a 680 chassis, however, others claim Gaston Grümmer only did a single body, based on the 20CV chassis

msrgrt:

For what it is worth, I have also seen it as being based on the 680 chassis.

Another point to MSRGRT for the correct answer.  My source indicated the car was a 680, but I will leave that part off the title.

We are getting quite the collection of Gaston Grümmer puzzles on here.

I understand that 20 cv Hotchkisses (6 cyl. 3485 cc.) were named 620 in 1933 (they overcame the AM80S model), and were re-named 686 in 1936 (so happened to the 617, 6cyl. 3016 cc. 85 cv, that became the 680).  So, if this car actually was a 20 cv from 1934, it should have been a 617 or a 620.
