Nice styling.

For one point, please respond and identify this ambulance.

Wolseley 21/60 ? From 1935 or so?

Wendax · « **Reply #3 on:** August 01, 2014, 05:02:27 PM »

Not a Wolseley

Wow, finally............

I have stared at this car for a month and I thought I had the answer immediately......
Must be a Horch 830 BL.

But then I realized the radiator surround was much more narrow than a Horch and had to start all over again.

My current opinion is that this is a Steyr, most likely a 430, from 1933-1935.

In spite of hours of investigation, I cannot come up with the coach builder but perhaps that is enough if correct.

Bill, you are correct with identifying it as a Steyr, but it is not a 430. Locked for you to find the correct model, no coachbuilder needed.

Bill Murray · « **Reply #11 on:** August 21, 2014, 05:46:01 PM »

I have found only one more possible choice although it seems a different vehicle.

740 model perhaps.

Bill

Wendax · « **Reply #12 on:** August 21, 2014, 05:52:34 PM »

No, 430 was better guess, just a bit too early.

Bill Murray · « **Reply #13 on:** August 21, 2014, 07:32:59 PM »

Sigh...............

Another hour and now it appears it may be a 530............

Correct you are.

The puzzle car and a similar one:

Thank you for the opportunity. It has been a long time in between "Solutions" for me.

Thank you also for the second, excellent photo. Never seen that one before either.

Hi Gerd:

Thank you so much for the additional photograph. As you well know, I am a big fan of the styling of such vehicles of the mid 1930's up to 1940 or so.

One question, I note that most of your photos seem to be "beauty shots" that normally are taken by coachbuilders and usually they have a plaque by the vehicle advertising their name. Do you know who built this/these vehicle/s?

Bill

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** October 11, 2014, 03:29:54 AM »

My source usually does not reveal many details. When a coachbuilder's name is mentioned, I make it part of the puzzle.
