Ron Lawson Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The wheels appear to be Sankey Wheels that were fitted to English and European cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtbaron Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Pierce Arrow LSR car???LOL...be worth more if it was. I'm wondering if it's a movie prop or someone's attempt at a homemade car. The design seems to suggest the 50's, despite the early chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Could it be art deco from the 20's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has "home built" written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The only part with home built that doesn't seem to jive is whoever built it made a very clean complex curve that would require some skill. Look at all the home built cars you have seen. Not many have curves like that. They are usually much more clumsy and angular. Even the home built woodies you see are more angular than this. . I still would like to know what the front clip looked like. I think maybe coach built by someone who knew what they were doing. Possibly an old promotional thing from the early to mid 30's from a regional business. Delivery van? Think of how art deco delivery trucks were in the 1930's.

hddennis Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 A Google image search of this photo turns up a discussion on ozrodders.com on December 2011. I signed up a few days ago but their moderators must be asleep. Maybe someone else will have better luck.Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gillingham Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The background looks very Australian, so I'm guessing that's possibly where the photo was taken? I'm curious to know what the origin of the running gear is. Going by the wheels, it's certainly English or possibly French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Craig,This from the Facebook link "There was a fair few pics of this floating around a few years ago. The guy who posted the pics claimed the car was sitting on a property in vic. He wouldn't let on where it was. Its got a stealthy panzer wagon look to it. Its pretty crude" and "The pics I saw showed the engine and a couple of other views. I think the guy hinted it was around echuca"Want to duck up to Echuca and nose around?
