Who made it? When? How is it called? And why is it so particular? All for a point.

Italian marque or just imported in Italy?

als15 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 21, 2013, 05:56:27 AM »

Italian manufacturer, but not using its own chassis (that was however Italian too).

SPA

No and no.

A clue: this brand made - AFAIK - only this vehicle (but worked for a longer time, also on other products).

Stigler-Otis, electrical car built between 1921 and 1925?

als15 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 23, 2013, 07:44:53 AM »

Not that.
However the period is roughly correct.
But this is not electric and exploits the chassis of a very well known vehicle.

ropat53 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 29, 2013, 06:33:50 PM »

Is it based on a 1920 Fiat 501?

als15 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 30, 2013, 02:42:13 AM »

It's based on a Fiat, but not a 501.
A clue: it's not just a "fuoriserie" in the usual meaning of this definition.

No, no direct Fiat involvement. It just exploits a Fiat base.

Well I have located some bits and pieces, but I don't know if I have enough for a point. This car was constructed in 1922 by Officine Meccaniche of Milano. It seems to have the rather ungainly name of Achille Andreoli Codigoro Ferrara Auto. Since I speak no Italian, I can only assume that this was a car specifically built for Achille Andreoli & Figli of Codigoro (Province of Ferrara), Italy. I have found period advertising which leads me to believe that Achille Andreoli & Figli may have been a dealer of motor vehicles in Codigoro, and this car was a private label product built for him by OM. As to what is so particular about it, I can only guess from what has already been established. That is: It was a “one off” built on a Fiat chassis (a 510, I think).

als15 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 02, 2013, 03:01:40 AM »

Partly correct. The car is indeed made by "Officine Meccaniche Achille Andreoli & Figli" in Codigoro, Ferrara.

However, based on my information, there are no relations with OM, neither Andreoli was a car dealer.
About the year, it's not really clear even to me, so let's assume 1922 is correct.

To get the point, I still need to know the base and the name.

Not that there is a specific story behind the base-model, and this is the most interesting aspect of this vehicle.
And it also has a name (it's on one of its advertisings).

LOCKED FOR 4popoid

and I can be slow in answering, wo you have time to search

The base chassis turns out to be easy. It's a Fiat 15ter truck chassis. It's interesting that they are trying to make a luxury car out of a truck chassis.

The name is more difficult. Most places it is referred to a Car (Vittura) 25-35 HP, or Luxury Car (Lusso Vettura) 25-35 HP. However I did find one ad that shows a four letter logo (with some small print underneath that I can't make out) so I'll guess that the logo is the name that you are looking for. That makes the puzzle car an: AFEA 25-35 HP.
