Imagine being on a quiet sidewalk in London in the 50's, when suddenly you hear the sound of a rumbling engine and this apparition slowly appears out of the fog right next to you.....

I have seen this photo before but cannot find it again.

This is probably totally wrong, but is it an Hispano Suiza??

Auburn??

SACO · « **Reply #8 on:** January 11, 2014, 09:13:02 AM »

I don't know the base of the car ; but more Auburn than Delahaye !

Does that mean it comes from the USA?

SACO · « **Reply #10 on:** January 11, 2014, 10:21:19 AM »

Yes !

Was it made to attempt a land speed record?

SACO · « **Reply #13 on:** January 31, 2014, 03:33:43 AM »

Not a land speed record !

Allan L · « **Reply #14 on:** January 31, 2014, 03:50:00 AM »

I'd say it has a Ford A as its base.

SACO · « **Reply #15 on:** January 31, 2014, 07:33:12 AM »

I don't know !

Is there a military connection?

SACO · « **Reply #17 on:** January 31, 2014, 11:28:22 AM »

Not military connection !

Was the car built to compete in one of the Carreras in the mountains of South America?

Not Carreras in the mountains of South America !

safe car?

SACO · « **Reply #21 on:** February 01, 2014, 01:44:40 PM »

Not safe car !

D-type · « **Reply #22 on:** February 02, 2014, 12:11:20 PM »

Although not a record car and not for S American inter-city races, is it a competition car?

nicanary · « **Reply #23 on:** February 02, 2014, 12:44:43 PM »

It's almost like an attempt to armour-plate the car, with the openings for the headlights reduced to a minimum. Possibly against gunfire?

Is this a car for liquor-smuggling or gun-running during Prohibition?

SACO · « **Reply #24 on:** February 02, 2014, 02:37:52 PM »

No !not easy for liquor-smuggling !
