Solved: A new puzzle by Allemano! (#001) - 1972 Delta Design Taxi proposal
« on: October 29, 2017, 11:28:46 AM »
Yep, a new one!  :)


What do you know about this car?

Purpose, year and builder is required to get the point!

(hope it's not a repost!)

not easy to see on this picture, but it has doors. It's not a toy car, but rather a scale model

It is not a Lepoix design, so let's try Pollmann.

There is a certain connection, but it's not a Autonova project.

Thanks for the Lock Allemano. I recall seeing this photo many years ago in a magazine. My problem is that I can't remember which magazine it was, and as I have many thousands of them, this could take some time!

So, I'm going to make an uneducated guess to answer the other parts of your question, and say that the year was 1970, and its purpose was either as a taxi or a kids toy (of which Delta Design created a few). I'll take a gamble and go with a taxi proposal!

Yes, it's indeed a Taxi proposal and you're not too far off regarding the year it was built.
So, give it one more try!

Still locked!

Ok, thanks. I'll opt for 1969, although I might be going in the wrong direction  :(

Yep,
it was a 1972 Taxi proposal made by Delta Design from Stuttgart/Germany.
Well done and another point for you!

Judging by the number plate it could have been a 1971 design.  ;)

I did note that too, but the caption said 1972, so I took that!  ;D
