Junkman Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm a bit at a loss. I know this won't let me sleep tonight. Given the Boneschi Fiat, I hazard a guess it's 1950 and there is a car show going on in Venice.The cars in the left row are all show cars. So are the two poking their noses into the pic from the bottom.They have strong Ghia overtones, no? The right one could well be a Ferrari 195 Inter.The cabriolet with the two large instruments is very Pinin Farina, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The shooting brake's tailgate treatment makes me guess Frua, possibly on a Lancia Aprilia chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm pretty sure the cabrio is a Fiat. It's smaller than the 1400, so 1100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Damascus, as earlier. Note the oval West German export plates on the red Opel, and covering the Seine-Maritime originals on the blue 404. Long way from the Bundesrepublik. And Normandy... I'm not convinced that Pooshow wasn't nicked in the Bundesrepublik as well. Note Bundes DIN 1451 fonts: Bundes Talbot Spiegel: And the plates were proudly silver on black at the time in La Grande Republique. chaseracer and Tadhg Tiogar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Bray-Dunes with what probably is a Simca Ariane (until PShome corrects me).The Ariane was for people who hate V8s and fins, so this could be one of the probably three ever sold.
