Landaulette and roadster

[powerslide1944]

The landaulette appears to have a French license plate and has a "S" shape in the badge on the radiator shell.

The roadster photo was taken in 1951, however the design appears to be prewar.

Thank you for your help.

Well, the roadster appearrs to be a custom Rolls Royce, and the laundulet appears to be a Sizaire Freres. The Sizaire featured all wheel independent suspension.

Somewhere in my archives I have a picture of the Rolls in the U.S.A. I believe. Btw, it's not a roadster but a hardtop coupe.

First car is as Bob said a custom Rolls. Not sure on the second picture.

Hi,

The second car is indeed a Sizaire Freres. I think it may be a cca 1926 4RI, and be a Sedance de Ville because the rear section looks solid rather than openable. We had a Sizaire at one of our recent meetings. See below.

IMHO, in culling through the RR data it appears that the roadster (or possible fixed head coupe') appears to be from the post WWII Silver Wraith series,(late '40s). It seems to have similar lines to the 1950 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Drophead Roadster by H.J. Mulliner, chassis #WGC48, that was ordered by Sybil Rhodes. It doesn't appear to share similar lines to bodies from Park Ward, J. Young, or Hopper.The roofline looks a little more "sporty" than most RR fixed head coupe's. No wind wing at the A pillar.
