Doesn't look like a Mercedes at all. But it could be a special model built by some coach builder... -- Last edit: 2006-04-13 23:41:53 |

I agree. I don't think it is a Mercedes at all. Too low and right hand drive is utterly implausible. Also the hood vents, bumpers, hubcaps, etc. Too many details are non-Mercedes and actually no details really are. also, a Mercedes of this size and era would have a distictively positive camber to the rear wheels courtesy of the swing-axle. |

The closest thing I can find is a mid 1930s 170 but again the details are wrong. The only thing right is the dang three pointed star on the bonnet  |

>> I don't think it is a Mercedes at all. << yes! because how often has someone seen a mercedes with such a FLAT grille? well, the early ones, 1901, 1902 and so. but later I know just ONE with a flat grille: the 630 from 1929. and it was a HUGE car. no mercedes. I think, this one is kind of scratch-built. :-)) der krusche -- Last edit: 2006-04-23 19:45:21 |

I found another one with a FLAT grille in my books. roadster 260, stuttgart 1928. same bumper as the one of tghe RIGHT car above. as junkman wrote: bumper and hubcaps dont fit ... and I would say: headlight ar too big for that era. but: nice try! :-)) der krusche |

J'ai trouvé une Lancia 1937 Artena "qui lui ressemble". Il y a beaucoup de points communs (volant à droite typique de Lancia, etc...), MAIS, ce n'est pas la même voiture. Donc il faut penser qu'il s'agit bien d'une voiture italienne des années 1936/1937. Les voitures avec le pare-brise avant assez rectiligne et un pare-brise arrière au dessus du siège, comme celle dans le film, étaient en Italie des "coloniale" et principalement destinés aux colonies italiennes. Voici le link http://www.giordanoldcar.com/ARTENA.htm Ce n'est pas une FIAT, mais il faudrait fouiner dans les modèles de la firme BIANCHI d'avant guerre (volant de quel coté?). Yvon |
