Antique monster vehicle
« on: December 31, 2011, 08:12:23 PM »
A very seasonal, end o' year greeting to you all! I know, it's been a while, but I do pop by occasionally, if only to be wowed by the knowledge that is so far beyond my tiny brain. Like the following dainty little automobile:

I am at a loss for what this delicate flower might be, so I was hoping somebody here might shine a light on it for me. Or at least give me some direction. Besides the door marked 'Exit'.

Wellcome back!
Beside the dimensions, the radiator's shape is quite distinctive.
I assume you have no other info (where the pic was taken, etc..)
I was looking at some Metallurgique, but couldn't find the same 'nose'.

On the other "name that car" sites where this pic was posted (by another long-dormant AutoPuzzles member), it is stated the picture was taken in Flint, MI

Oddly, the only information that I do have is the location of where the photo was taken: Jackson, Michigan.

I have no idea if that is of any help or if it will just throw things off.

I'm not certain what the other name that car site is, but I got it from thecarlounge.com which is more idiotic automotive anarchy than anything else. They certainly don't hold a candle to autopuzzles.com in terms of naming cars.
