powerslide1944 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob McAnlis Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abh3usn Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 First car is as Bob said a custom Rolls. Not sure on the second picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 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.

powerslide1944 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 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.
