Vintman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hi,This looks like a Chrysler group product of cca 1930. However cannot pin it to a specific make so would appreciate your help.

Manuel Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Interesting the way the bonnet and firewall have the little shoulders on the side and the raised bit in the middle.Manuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepcak Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Fiat 514 :-) Note the car is quite small in size.http://www.shorey.net/auto/italian/Fiat/1930%20Fiat%20514%20T-red&black=mx=.jpg Edited January 21, 2012 by pepcak (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hi all,I think Pepcak has the answer. I had considered Fiat and Opel initially but looked at them more carefully after Kaiser’s comments and discounted Opel. Although both had scalloped bulkheads, Opel did not have the central ridge in the bonnet. Also the badge is round and dark, not oval, with largish writing suggesting the Fiat was between 1925 - 1929. While it probably is an early 514, because this is German registered, it could be the Fiat 521 as these were made in Fiat-NSU plant in Heilbronn. There seems very little on photographs to distinguish the 514 from the 521 on the large four door saloons with three windows each side, but the 514 is supposed to be a compact and the people are relatively large in comparison. So guess it must be a cca 1929 Fiat 514 Saloon.Regards and thanks to allVintman (UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
