Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me the name of this car, its builder, and what it was made from.

Very basic frame; is it a 1930 Chrysler Series 77 pickup?

Hi, sorry I overlooked this post. The chassis is not Chrysler, and it's from earlier than 1930.

The puzzle car is not from the US, but the chassis and the engine are.

Is it British and based on a 4 cylinder Ford of the 1920s?

No British or Ford elements in the car. I don't know the number of cylinders it has. The car it's based on was from the 20s

Up to the Pros.

Edit - Seems I can't move the thread until the malfunctions that the forum is experiencing are resolved.

I know the car, it's built on a 1928 Whippet chassis with a Waukesha engine.
Carlos Rodríguez was the builder.

It only makes sense that an Argentinian player would get this one!  :thumbsup:
