Hi, is that a Peace?

It looks for all the world like a cross between a Humber Super Snipe and a 1958 Studebaker President...I don't suppose it could be a derivitive of either...?

A 'piece', perhaps, but that is not the make or model designation.

Esthetically, perhaps; I don't think there was any manufacturer collaboration.

It reminds me of the Devrim, from Turkey...but I wonder if it isn't from India?

Dan

If it's from India, it ought to be RHD.

Otto Puzzell · January 04, 2008, 04:36:40 AM

Neither Devrim nor Turk.

Tifosi · January 04, 2008, 01:57:41 PM

Is it Soviet or Eastern-bloc?

Dan

Otto Puzzell · January 04, 2008, 03:23:16 PM

No.

D-type · January 04, 2008, 04:48:25 PM

Ford Vedette?

Tifosi · January 05, 2008, 02:05:36 AM

I know it's LHD, but could it be Japanese?

Otto Puzzell · January 07, 2008, 01:52:37 AM

That's the simple Chinese character for "no".

Tifosi · January 09, 2008, 02:16:12 PM

Hong Qi?

Am I getting any warmer?

Dan

Otto Puzzell · January 10, 2008, 04:58:07 AM

Geographically, yes.

Tifosi · January 10, 2008, 03:21:52 PM

Is it Korean?

Dan

Otto Puzzell · January 11, 2008, 03:24:08 AM

No.

SeaLion · January 11, 2008, 06:39:24 AM

So it is chinese, but no-one has guessed the right car yet.

Otto Puzzell · January 11, 2008, 06:55:59 AM

That is correct.

D-type · January 12, 2008, 01:11:15 PM

Chinese, but not Eastern Bloc - Does that mean Taiwan?

Or is it that China is so far east that it's west and not part of the Eastern Bloc from a US perspective? If you see what I mean.
