Here's another old photo, this time I put it here instead of a standalone puzzle (maybe that will come later)

Do you recognise the brand?

The car, and a pretty one it is, is a 1932 Studebaker, either a Commander or a President 8.
Very distinctive headlamps.  It has also been featured here in another form as a quiz.

That's a Renault, probably a Novaquatre.

After some closer looks into Réné Bellu' "Toutes les Renault" I tend to say that it is a 1938 Renault Celtaquatre.

OK, this is not a car but a Propaganda/Sound truck but it is quite stylish you will have to admit,

This truck has been the subject of "What is it" posts on several military and historic truck forums for over 7 years now and has never been identified.  It has been described as a Czech truck and also as German/Austrian.  This photo shows it in a civilian setting, there is another photo showing it in a military setting, presumably somewhat later.  Found it and posting it.

If anyone here can ID this one there are several forums that would be forever in your debt and credit will be given.

Life really is strange sometimes..............

5 minutes after I posted this question, I was looking up posts by another member and ran across a quiz thread that we both posted on.  One I had forgotten...........

Lo and Behold, the quiz vehicle has exactly the same front end/bumper configuration as my mystery truck but the chassis was never identified.

In any case, the body on my vehicle seems to have been made by Gaubschat, which would make the vehicle German pretty much for sure.  I will continue looking but if anyone knows the chassis for the photo below, that might solve my mystery.

I believe the car in the background is a NAG. Do you agree?

The white car is a plaster mockup made by Moretti and never developed. But can anyone identify the show where this picture was taken?
Addiotnal infos are welcome, as I've a lot of photos of this cars but none is captioned, so we are not able to say anything more on this project.

I know more than one having done such a job... If italian, I'd say Cars International (that was actually a delaer, whilst the conversion was made by Carrozzeria Gavello), if German could be Pop. Are you able to read the nationality from the license-plate frame?

The background looks German: there is a ATW Charly, and the Ligier Ambra has a 25 km/h sticker.
But I don't think that it is a Pop, because all Pop convertibles I know have cut out doors.

Is this really a Delahaye? Did they produce buses?

I already asked about this Dutch car before, but yesterday found a photo where you can see the inscription "Sathe".
Does anyone know about this?
