1934 Terraplane Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 These were slides at auction in New Castle, Indiana. Crooked radiator and hinged flap on center hood. Never seen one, have you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintman Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The car is French, made by one of the earliest auto makers in Paris France. The confusing bit is that although it seems to be the same car with the same children photographed about the same time, the louvres on one side are different to the other side and the plated rad surround is damaged in one photo and not in the other. Tallish rad with a cooling flap on the top of bonnet, which fits to this beeing a cca 1904 Panhard Levassor C/H 15CV Tonneau 3296cc inline-four O4R. About 730 of this model were made. The roof is probably local, typically American, being a ‘Surrey’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Several other brands of cars had the door in the top of the hood as well. I believe that apparent damage is a photo defect or lighting shadow. Edited August 7, 2020 by AHa (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
