your opinion?

faksta · « **Reply #3 on:** May 14, 2009, 08:23:09 AM »

Nothing yet, but it looks like a German car to me.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #4 on:** May 14, 2009, 08:30:15 AM »

Not from there...

faksta · « **Reply #5 on:** May 14, 2009, 08:32:25 AM »

Ah..I forgot to mention Italy

Fiat basis?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #6 on:** May 16, 2009, 01:02:09 PM »

Sorry, I miss that....yes it is Fiat-based, but can't find back my source!

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #7 on:** May 18, 2009, 12:46:54 PM »

So, what is the name of this Fiat-based car?
An extra point for the name of that man.
(I have this info somewhere....)

Allemano · « **Reply #8 on:** May 18, 2009, 12:57:15 PM »

Damned, somehow it looks so familiar...
Is it 100% Italian?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #9 on:** May 18, 2009, 01:00:28 PM »

I'll be honest...I found this pic in a magazine, where is written more or less ' this is Mr ? with his new Fiat ".
Then I found the car in another book, but now I can't remember wich one!
I'll say that this is 100% italian...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #10 on:** May 18, 2009, 01:52:58 PM »

Ok, I'll promote this an Art & Cars #119 (with kind permission of the owner of the copyright...)
1 point for the name of this fiat-based car and
1 point for the name of that man.

The man looks like Eddie Constantine, who played the detective Nick Carter. But a so german-looking Fiat ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2009, 04:28:17 PM »

Not him...

pguillem · « **Reply #13 on:** June 13, 2009, 04:59:31 PM »

Is it a Fiat 1950 by Colli ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #14 on:** June 13, 2009, 05:15:59 PM »

$:-\$
I can't find this car again...
I'll give 1 point to faksta for the Fiat-based guess
1 point for the man in the picture
2 points for the coachbuilder (that I can't find...)

I found a similar car...not sure if it's the same firm behind this.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #15 on:** June 13, 2009, 05:25:54 PM »

And since it's my foult...here's a...

Ray B. · « **Reply #16 on:** June 14, 2009, 05:48:31 AM »

The man is character actor Howard Da Silva.
The coachbuilder I have no idea of.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #17 on:** June 14, 2009, 06:09:35 AM »

No doubt You knew him!
The final 2 points for the coachbuilder...I found one slightly similar to this and it's not Colli.

Ray B. · « **Reply #18 on:** June 14, 2009, 06:24:50 AM »

I knew the face but couldn't put a name on it. He is here with Eve Arden in a 1951 movie called "Three Husbands", if it can help anyone (he might wear the same suit in the puzzle picture).

faksta · « **Reply #19 on:** September 27, 2009, 06:20:24 AM »

Oh, this beautiful creation again... I didn't know I've got the point here

Could the body be made by Motto?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #20 on:** September 27, 2009, 06:35:11 AM »

I can't find back my source.
Let's hope our new friend can find it...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #21 on:** October 19, 2009, 07:05:28 AM »

Probably our fiat-experts can tell us more about this?

Allemano · « **Reply #22 on:** October 19, 2009, 08:30:59 AM »

Some relation to Volpini?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #23 on:** October 19, 2009, 08:43:26 AM »

My source, an old magazine, reports only that it is a Fiat.
I thought it was a Volpini, because it's similar to the BMW one, and Volpini made some sports on Fiat chassis, but I can't find a pic with a car like this.
I need a proven name for this, because I do not know it.

faksta · « **Reply #24 on:** October 19, 2009, 11:16:22 AM »

Maybe we could ask als15, in case he didn't notice this car yet?
