nzcarnerd Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The visible rear wheel suggests to me it may not be American, maybe rather something German from the period when the American influence was very strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman from oz Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Lots of similarities with the 1930 Packard, but it is not a Packard. The wheels look like Packard, but notice the door handles are in a different position. Rear Door Hinges are also in a different location. It seems that this car has everyone stumped? The other car is a 1933 Ford V8 Cabriolet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Long Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Yes, that looks like a Minerva Type F from the late 1930s... made in Antwerp, Belgium, only 10 miles from the Dutch border, so the two NL (Netherlands) plates make sense. They used superb Knight sleeve-valve engines but struggled to make a profit in the hard times of the 1930s, merged with another Belgian manufacturer and gradually faded away after the war.
