Why did you post a picture of an FSO Syrena? Are we supposed to admire its beauty, identify it or what?
I'm thinking not a car from the USA, and the shape of the rear deck/fenders makes me think it's rear engined.
No, not from the USA, which I (kind of) gave away by confirming only one part of Jelle’s speculation. To be more explicit then: she’s European and she was made between the late 1950s and very early 60s. She’s not rear-engined either but I chose that particular crop on purpose so I’m glad you fell for it.
I guess it's time for another clue, after a while searching some of the Talbots start to look like the sample but none of them match.
She’s German and her ‘family’ is not around anymore. I have much curiosity, blunc-san. Which particular incarnation(s) did you have in mind? The early 1950s T26 GS notchback by Saoutchik perhaps? (Flamboyant as hell but that doesn’t stop it from becoming one of my early post-war design favorites, by the way.) It’s not meant to be a tricky question or anything. I’ve simply done a ‘little’ research into coachbuilt coupés of the era quite recently, and no other Talbot I’ve encountered – with the possible exception of the 1947-49 T26 GS Franay bodies, though those were fastbacks – seems to bear any profound resemblance to my puzzle car (which is considerably less prestigious, I hasten to add) on the basis of that cropjob, of course.
Lines almost look like something the soviets might have copied from the US, but for all I know they only made cars in black and black
I was getting a little brain-dead on the search and distracted by all the other neat cars I was seeing in the search.
Isabella Coupé, to be more specific, as she (I was using the feminine pronoun for a reason, as you can now see) was rather different from the more common saloon and estate versions introduced a bit earlier (1954). In any case, good job, blunc.
