MochetVelo Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I posted this image on the "General" forum, but thought I might get some I.D.'s here. How many of these cars are real? I have my doubts about the air-car. I do see a Vespa 400 and, next to it, a split-window VW and a 1921 Peugeot 161 (or is it a Citroen 5HP?). The steam thing reminds me of a steam carriage that runs London to Brighton.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1926pack Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 The front green car looks like a Scarab (or that car from the Czech Republic) and the silver car in the lower right looks like a Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I believe the front green car is a Tatra and yep a '33 Silver Arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Holmberg Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 The black one behind the wagon seems to be Volkswagen late 40s or early 50s,but it also could be a Hanomag 1939-1943. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1926pack Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 That 3 wheeled (British?) vehicle in the lower left should be easy to identify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timthemailman Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Anybody think to look inside the cover of the mag. to see if they were ID'ed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 And I thought I was the only one on the forum who regularly reads the New Yorker. Odd for a dyed in the wool Conservative Republican. I read it for the same reason I read Playboy as a youth....for the articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochetVelo Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 No, the cars aren't identified in the magazine. The New Yorker only gives the artist's name (Bruce McCall).Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian Scott Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) The flying car could be a aerocar. I remember seeing something about it on the history channel. A quick google search and this is all I found but I do remember a 3 wheeled version.Moult Taylor Aerocar Aircraft history performance and specifications Edited October 8, 2009 by Brian Scott wrong address (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The steam car looks like an Amedee Bollee late 1870's I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brockway Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The green convertible on the right is a Nissan Figaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick0matic Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The steamer I have seen in pics - maybe a mid-to-late 1800's Amadee-Boulee (or something like that). Behind the chariot, is that a Bentley Speed Six? Definately a 1933 Pierce Silver Arrow. In front of the Pierce is a circa 1910 limousine, make unknown. In front of that a late 1920's Hanomag?, pre-1954 VW, late 1950's-early 1960's Vespa. In front of them '03 Cadillac?, 1880's Studebaker Conestoga, 1940's Jaguar or other Brit car? In front of that is maybe an early 1950's Maserati and in front of that is a late 1930's T77 Tatra. Just inside the garage is the maybe the Fisher Body coach and yes, that's an Aerocar over them all.

Guest Hugh32 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Looks like Fiat Bianchina right of the VW. I had one in the early 60s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The little ragtop with roof rails may also be a Vespa 400, like this '59; a couple of microcars (including Fiat's Bianchina) had similar rooflines.Nissan's Figaro has a totally different (but cool retro) look...Nifty cover, BTW,TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
