Bleach Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It could be a '48 Champion Regal Deluxe unless the hood ornament is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a look online and it seems as though it has a 1947 'Strat-o-lined' hood ornament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Yaros Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I jdo not know about anyone else, but photos uploaded in .pdf format are not displayed for my in thumbnail format.

I am helping a museum, and this is what they have sent me in order to avoid emailing large files. I'm not sure of how else I can include the images other than jpeg.?Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The double horizontal banded grille, wrap-around bumper, and widely set bumper guards mark this car as a 1949 Champion. I believe that the plain hubcaps w/o trim rings mark it as a Champion DeLuxe, not a Champion Regal DeLuxe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodfiddler Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Amanda - can you elaborate on your assistance project? What museum, how many cars / bikes etc? Why would they need all cars identified (the work that you are doing)? One would think that a museum would have a detailed listing showing everything they have and the history of the acquisitions of all the displays. Maybe I'm thinking ideally, I don't know! Please don't be offended - I love looking at the cars, but the stories they could tell are compelling too! Thanks to everyone for sharing their expertise for this project. I am learning alot from everyone.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All seem to be very savable, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, in the past many museums were not too concerned with paperwork, unfortunately. Things have gotten better in the last couple decades though. The museum I am helping is just outside of Dubai. It is the Sharjah Classic Cars Museum, which is the first of its kind in the region. It is being redeveloped and I am helping them to write the interpretive text and labels. They have about 120 cars and a few motorcycles and bikes. The collection came from one man. It is my understanding that we only have paper work for some of the vehicles. The curator tends to know more about the mechanics of cars rather than having expertise in identifying them, which is why I am seeking help. On that note, I greatly appreciate everyone's assistance and I know the museum does too. Thanks,Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
