That looks like a late '30's Peugeot 402 roadster. There was a very similar silver blue one at Pebble last year. (Any Le Mans history with that yellow one?) Tim |

The red one is a TBird prototype/show car. THe other one is a Darlmat (spelling) Peugeot (I think!)

I'm going to say it's another version of the Cadillac Cyclone prototype. Circa 1958.

Not a Ranchero, either...
Not a Cadillac, El Camino or otherwise.

It's a Thunderbird concept car of some sort, you can almost make out the emblem on the back. It's not whacky enough to be a Bertone, but it's definately italian.

By the grill I was thinking Desoto, but couldn't find it. I've been a car nut all my life. You guys make me look like a novice at best. I have no idea what some of these are.

Its a 1954 DeSoto Ghia Adventurer II. One of the Motorama cars after Virgil Exner arrived at Chrysler. Longtime ownership by the Sultan of Morocco before returning to the US. ![]() Trunk detail could be mistaken from a distance as either a TBird or Cadillac chevron, but is actually a stylized "V8": ![]() My favorite was the Nardi wheel with Hernando in the center. Turin meets Detroit, or Madrid, at least... ![]() Next photo's yours, Bob. Tim Last edited by tchanson; 11-22-2005 at 06:43 AM.. |

How did you find it? I googled Ghia, concept, Chrysler yada and couldn't find squat. Let's do cars that made it into production. These one or two off's are tough on an old guy.

Red one is a late 50's Alfa? Giulia?
If not, some other Pinin design....
