That's what I call an impressive appearance! Where is the chauffeur?
Manufacturer, model, coachbuilder and year of manufacture are required.

In descending order of confidence, Minerva, AK-32, 1929, Van den Plas.
The more I consider the nature of speed, the more mysterious I find it.

It's not a Minerva but a Packard, albeit a little younger than it was delivered.

That's it! There is nothing to add except one point.

This was a GREAT puzzle - I always say doing the research to solve them is at least half the fun. This Packard had a distinctly European look which threw me for a while. Keep them coming, and thank you!
