Hello to You,

not shure, but similar work was done by 'Stabilimenti Farina' around 1953, one of the last ones ...,

... with greetings to You, Frank .

Hello, two ordinary 1936 Fords (or maybe the same car?)

Hi, Jose85,

Your two fotos are (for the number-plate = LUX) the same car:

Ford (-Cologne) Drauz (CB) V8 (model) 3600 (ccm) Standard (Typ) Ca2+2 (body) /1936 (built).

With greetings, Frank

I agree with FrankWo, also because this is a Revelli's design.

I found this. The caption says it's a prototype built by SIATA for the US Ford dealer network. The car, called Spyder 142F, would been produced in parts and shipped to the US where the local dealer could assemble it with a Ford V8 engine.

Can anyone identify this?



It looks to be a mid-1920s Bentley 6½ litre, the all-weather body has styling cues of H J Mulliner, but does anyone know for certain?

Hi, MikeC,

for the mascot I think for a Lincoln (windhound > Springing Greyhound).

It looks for a Lincoln-Willoughby Serie-202B Mod.-K8 Sport-Phaeton/1931.

With greetings to You, Frank .

Ford, in what is now Moldova. Glaser?

Hi, Adrian,

yes, You are right, it is a Ford-Gläser V8-Ca2+2/1937 ...,

... with greetings, Frank .

Hello,
Thanks! The overall shape looks like a Drauz. Didnt know they use US 1936 front too...

And another car from the dark grey military areas-1939 Dodge. The description on one photo was "Holland", could it be the country of a coachbuilder too?

I have nothing Dodge-made found with the NL-CB-scene-book(s) . Also nothing in other EU-countries for Dodge-rebuilt cars before WW-II-end.
Maybe You can find answers with the Militaria-experts of: http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/ ... order=desc

With easter-greetings, Frank .

Looking for information about those special coachbuilt Volkswagen Buses. They all started their life as panels.
My friends from VW scene and me, we need help to identify the coachbuilders. We don't think that the buses were converted by Hans Kohlruss or Karl Schreiner & Söhne from Vienna, Austria.
As most of them had german plates, i suspect that they might also have been built in Germany - even though i don't think they were all made by the same comany.
But i need information about every single one of them as we don't know about further information of these vehicles in a different forum.









If you have any helpful information, please feel free to contact me. I am very interested in this topic! Thanks.

A friend of mine saw your photos and this is what he found: https://www.facebook.com/groups/641684399225180/

Hello PG1964 and thank your for your help!

But as i wrote above those buses are no Kohlruss buses. At least no one could confirm or contest it yet.
If you are interested in the bus from the link that you posted, i wrote a little bit about it in the section:
European Coachbuilders / Austria / Kohlruss:
http://www.coachbuild.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=855&t=10111

I think (because of the language) that this is a Dutch car. But - what tha chassis and who is CB?

Hi, Igor,

I have nothing found with my NL-books. This typ is named as Gesellschafts-/Touren-/Ausflugs-Bus > touring-bus. With similar drawings was worked 'Alin-Liautard' in France and 'Germain in Belgium. The orders for this touring-busses are mostly coming from GB. Your drawing was created around 1903.

With greetings, Frank .

Dear Frank,
Many thanks! It's very similar with Gregoire by Alin & Liautard!

One more enigma to me. This car in my photoarchive is named both as 1913 Vinot-Deguingand Lux-Limousine, and as 1913 Gladiator 12 CV. One of description:
https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/3288999-evolution-of-the-automobile/gladiator-car-evolution-of-the-automobile

So questions:
-- what's chassis?
-- who is CB?
