Omnia was the premier French automotive magazine, was published once a month from 1920 thru most of 1936 when the Depression stifled it forever. Pages were coated stock , so photographs within remain good and clear until now so many years later. It took me over 4 decades to accomplish but I managed to put together a collection of nearly all issues for their entire production run. All this accomplished with the help of a motor book dealer in West Sussex, England who owned a 1931 Chrysler Imperial CG club sedan and a 1929 Lincoln model L dual cowl phaeton! The end of year auto show magazines of L'Illustration and La Carrossiere magazine are also amazing to look at from that era for images and information on the classic car era of land yachts.

This is a photo of my Wife's Great Aunt by her car with her dog.  There is no information on the back of the photo.  I would appreciate your help in identifying the car.

 

Thanks,

Looks a lot like a 34 Chevy

I haven't seen any listing for a victoria coupe anywhere, or a photo of one. The body looks too short to be a coach.

I think it is a 2-door sedan/coach.  Look through the car at the left rear window (of the back seat).  The hubcaps don't look Chevy, however--compare them.

A.J. Miranda who was the NY distributor for Dupont had a "salon" in the Hotel Delmonico in NY City.  I believe that is where this photo was taken.

 

The car is the Hibbard & Darrin "Transformable" that was built by Floyd-Derham (the first 3 of the 6 built) or Merrimac (the last 3 of the 6 built).    Depending on which car this is.

There is no doubt it is a '34 Chev but the body is a mystery. I haven't seen any listing for a victoria coupe anywhere, or a photo of one. The body looks too short to be a coach.

I believe what you are seeing is this early storage option that some of them had that would make them appear to be a Victoria in photo angle that John posted earlier.

You are correct Grimy, it is definitely a 2 door.
