It's a 37 Terraplane, the 36 has V-shaped bars across the grill, quite different from the 37.

I think it's a 37 Terraplane

I'll bet the tires are Woodyears or B.F. Woodrich.

Are we sure the photo was taken in Russia? The lettering on the store front is not Russian. I was thinking perhaps Rumania, they do strange things with cars there.

Keiser, the shape of the radiator shell makes me think it's a Lancia. What do you think?

The 3rd and 4th pictures are a dash light. They were common on cars of the 20s. My Franklin has a similar one in the middle of the dash.

31 0r 32 Chrysler, maybe LeBaron coachwork?

I think what looks like a flywheel might be the right rear tyre.

I think Dave is right, 35 Ford

I've never used one but the identical item was in the trunk of my 42 Cadillac when I got it. It's an interesting accessory to display with the car.

Last night I put an old distributor cap on the Citroen. It started right up and we let it run for a bit. Shut it off and let it sit for about 10 minutes and tried again. Voila, it started! We went through this routine about 6 times and it re-started every time. This is the first time I've encountered a situation where a distributor cap failed completely after the engine was hot. Live and learn. Dave

One of the words that really bugs me is Guage for Gauge. I see this in major publications. Should you desire a strange language, come to Baltimore!!

Thanks again. That idea about the ignition switch is a good one! Joe, there is no resistor built into the rotor, earlier I went looking for one in the ignition circuit but there isn't any.

Where near Bremen, I lived in Bremerhaven!

Silverghost, thanks for the reply. I'm going to check point gao today and the points are new. The distrributor cap is clean and the contacts are clean and bright. I'll give a look at the distributor face plate while I'm checking points. I checked the plugs the other day and they were fine. Also all the plug wires were replaced recently and the distrrbutor rotor is also new.. I do want to check if there is a voltage drop on the secondary when the engine has been running.

How about a 1928 Essex

My 54 Traction Avant has an apparent ignition gremlin. The car starts fine when cold and runs perfectly. But shut it off for about 5 minutes and it won't start. There is spark at the coil but nothing at the plug wire tips. Today I put a new condensor on and took it for a quick trip. No problems. Put it back in the garage, took one of the Franklins for a quick ride and then tried starting the Citroen, nothing. Just in case, changed coils, still nothing, tried running a separate ground wire from the distributor to the negative post, still nothing. It is not a fuel problem, it won't even fire with starting fluid down the carb. Two hours later, went down to garage and it started instantly. I seem to be loosing fire somewhere between the coil and the plugs. By the way, this is a Paris built Citroen not British so it doesn't have Lucas electrics. The "Prince of Darkness" is not involved here. The ignition system is pretty staight forward just like most American cars. Maybe some one has had a similar problem with some American iron. Dave

Let's get back to the Continental. Did you say that one of the dash gauges needed to be restored. Is it the fuel gauge?
-
I like it with the black walls. You notice the lines of the car instead of your eye being drawn to the white doughnuts. What gauge are you talking about? Is it the fuel gauge? It looks like one of those hydrostatic gauges and there is a place in Michigan that can restore that.
