Make, model, year and coachbuilder for a point.

American ?

Bill Murray · « **Reply #3 on:** March 19, 2013, 08:15:16 AM »

This is not my era, but a wild guess would be a Lancia Dilambda of about 1930 used as a Hotel Limousine or maybe even a Taxi. Body could be Pininfarina.

Not American; Not a Lancia; Not Pininfarina;

Bill Murray · « **Reply #5 on:** March 19, 2013, 10:03:33 AM »

If I may ask, is it at least Italian?

Yes, italian.

I am with Cuda here, closest I can get is a Fiat 525 but I cannot get a photo with the same louvres in the side of the engine hood.

Looks to be more commercial to me than private. Maybe even a hearse.

I am having the same problem you are Bill. It looks like a Fiat, although I think a bit earlier than a 525, but I can't locate those slanted louvers (some Ansaldos have slanted louvers, but the radiator doesn't look right). Since the name of a coachbuilder is required, I'll assume that the unique louvers are a product of the coachbuilder, and call the puzzle car a: 1926 Fiat 512 by Fissore.

I could say it is not a Fiat 525 and neither a Fiat 521, but I want to be honest and so I say...it is not a Fiat at all. It is neither an hearse.

Ansaldo?

Bill Murray · « **Reply #12 on:** March 19, 2013, 06:16:21 PM »

Possibly Ansaldo Tipo 22.
No lock, I have no clue beyond that observation, question open.
Bill

Yes, it is an Ansaldo type 22. No lock for 4popoid because of Bill overcoming, no lock for Bill because of his request. So, add coachbuilder and year and you have a point.

mekubb · « **Reply #14 on:** March 19, 2013, 07:12:40 PM »

Ansaldo Tipo 22 from 1929, body by Castagna. I believe the term Limousine-Dorsay was added to the name as well

4popoid · « **Reply #15 on:** March 19, 2013, 08:48:06 PM »

Just to stay in the running, I'll say: 1928 Ansaldo Tipo 22 by Fissore.

targhediferro · « **Reply #16 on:** March 20, 2013, 02:16:35 AM »

Not Castagna and not Fissore.

4popoid · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2013, 02:39:39 AM »

1928 Ansaldo Tipo 22 by Boneschi?

mekubb · « **Reply #18 on:** March 20, 2013, 05:23:45 AM »

Pinin farina ?

targhediferro · « **Reply #19 on:** March 20, 2013, 06:48:52 AM »

Not Boneschi and not Pinin Farina...I like that you didn't write Pininfarina (that's right only after 1966, when the Presindent of Republic, ufficially modified the surname of Giuseppe Farina).

Carrozzeria Pinin Farina actually became Carrozzeria Pininfarina in 1961 I believe. Sergio changed the family name officially in 1966 to match the name of his Carrozzeria!

Oh yes, you're completely right!

mekubb · « **Reply #22 on:** March 20, 2013, 08:32:46 AM »

Montescani ?

targhediferro · « **Reply #23 on:** March 20, 2013, 12:25:31 PM »

Not Montescani.

Viotti?
