It is easy, so many run of the mill cars to get bored looking at, or something unique and special for the price of a pile of Model A Ford parts. And yes, it has a steel chassis. If you have been following my HAMB projects, I've been trying to build a sister car to that Franklin with Ford parts. Just sent Mike a PM. There could be a massive garage and basement clearance sale here. Haven't had anything that large since the '28 443 Packard Roadster project.

Bob I check in on the HAMB maybe once every other month. I'm still annoyed that the dictator moderator closed the hot rod Cord thread for some unknown reason. I used to be on there twice a day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 This 1935 Bentley 3 1/2 litre belongs to a friend of mine. He has owned it for many years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 With very similar styling to the Bentley I posted above is this 1936 MG SA. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Another pre war Bentley shot the same day as the 1935 car. I can't recall the details of this one - I think it is a later 4 1/4 litre model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I know the owner of this 1938 Rolls-Royce Phantom III (V12). He did a complete strip and rebuild on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 At the same event - New Years Day 2018 - as the R-R PIII was this 1938 Citroen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Another 1938 Citroen - in the background - with a post war example - this one is 1952 - for contrast. Both cars were probably built in England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a complete strip and rebuild on it. Rolls moved the motor over the front axle on the PIII and the result was a short appearing hood. Odd considering how big the engine is. The angle of your picture actually makes it look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't really given much though to where the engine was in relation to the front axle - which I presume has independent suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a better way of wording what I said would have been "they moved the radiator forward of the centerline of the front wheels". The PIII does have independent front suspension. If you look at the PII in gray and then the PIII below it you see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Speaking of attractive PIII Rolls sedans. I cannot fathom the restoration costs but what a super cool car. https://lbilimited.com/offerings/1937-rolls-royce-phantom-iii-by-franay/ Edited October 5, 2020 by alsancle (see edit history) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 The local American car day was held yesterday - Sunday 1 November. I didn't get there but luckily a local photographer posted a bunch of photos on facebook. Most cars there are the expected run-of-the-mill stuff - predominantly post war Big Three cars. This Packard is one I have not seen here before. 1933 I guess. The photo is not clear enough to read the registration sticker on the windshield. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
