Simca based?

nicanary · « **Reply #28 on:** February 16, 2015, 08:27:13 AM »

It looks very similar to the barquette built in 1956 by Alain Bocquet based on a Simca P60.

Not Facellia and not Simca based !

The rear deck seems quite long - is this car rear-engined ?

oko94 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 16, 2015, 12:24:03 PM »

Is it based on the chassis of a mass produced car ?

targhediferro · « **Reply #32 on:** February 17, 2015, 05:32:27 AM »

Peugeot based...not 403 and 404...perhaps 203?

nicanary · « **Reply #33 on:** February 17, 2015, 09:02:01 AM »

Is this possibly an early MD-Peugeot? I know they were mainly pretty coupes, but maybe there was a prototype barquette. I'm getting desperate now!

Not rear-engined !
Not based on the chassis of a mass produced car !

French engine ?

Arista?

SACO · « **Reply #39 on:** February 17, 2015, 05:13:43 PM »

Yes ! a French engine , but not Arista !

Gregoire?

Chenard Walker?

SACO · « **Reply #42 on:** February 18, 2015, 02:16:46 PM »

Not Gregoire and not Chenard et Walker !

targhediferro · « **Reply #43 on:** February 18, 2015, 02:31:33 PM »

Rosengart?

nicanary · « **Reply #44 on:** February 18, 2015, 07:00:20 PM »

I think that maybe this is a pre-war car which has been rebodied. Amilcar?

SACO · « **Reply #45 on:** February 19, 2015, 02:03:53 AM »

Not a Rosengart and not an Amilcar !
It's a post-war car with a body by a coach builder !

oko94 · « **Reply #46 on:** February 19, 2015, 02:53:08 AM »

French Ford engine ?

nicanary · « **Reply #47 on:** February 19, 2015, 07:44:35 AM »

I expect others have done the same thing, but I've just gone through a list of all known French car makers, concentrating on marques which were built in the period 1945-1960. I have discounted all major manufacturers, and any makes which were powered by rear engine, or engines provided by major makers. The puzzle car does not exist!

It's not-
Rosier
Salmson
Arista
DB
Barbier
Facel Vega
Amilcar
Rosengart
Gregoire
Chenard Walcker

I have discounted luxury marques like Delahaye and Delage - the puzzle car looks too small.

I have been through the entry lists for Montlhery in the appropriate period, and nothing fits! Surely it's not a rebodied Lambert ?

If nicanary is that confused, SACO may have unearthed something really interesting

That's very kind of you to say, but if Wendax can't get it solved, then we've really got problems!
