Not that

It appears to me that this isn't a car, but a model of a car.  It could be of wood, clay. or some other material, but, given the person in white in the background, I'm guessing that this model is some sort of pastry, probably cake.  I doubt that it is supposed to be an exact model, but it appears to resemble a 1936 Delahaye 135 Competition Court Figoni et Falaschi coupe, or similar.  If I'm right, this puzzle is literally a piece of cake.

[del78]

it is a clay model but not a cake
i need a name of this proposal and it is not Delahaye

[4popoid]

How about one of the many variations on the Bugatti Type 57, or, if not, possibly a variation of the Talbot-Lago T150?

[D-type]

If not a Delahaye, is it a Delage?
As it's not Figoni & Falsaschi, is it by Saoutchik?

[del78]

no to all questions

[kwgibbs]

Salsom?

[del78]

not that

Sodomka proposal for an Aero 50?

[4popoid]

I haven't heard back regarding the Sodomka/Aero 50 idea, but I'm beginning to think I might have been looking on the wrong side of the pond.  If this isn't a Sodomka proposal, might it be a 1935 Gordon Buehrig/Vince Gardner clay model proposal for an Auburn facelift, which was to later morph into the Cord 810.

[del78]

You are looking in a wrong direction
No to all questions!

[Ecnelis]

Was it build in full scale?

[del78]

i don't think so

[del78]

pros it is time to solve that

[nicanary]

DiMora?
