The coachwork style is referred to in America as a "Salamanca", but looks to me to be a closed drive landaulette, although the driver's roof may be a removable hard top. It also looks very similar, but not identical, to this: - /vehicle_54604-Isotta-Fraschini-Tipo-8A-1929.html or, more likely, this may be the actual car: - /vehicle_62931-Isotta-Fraschini-Tipo-8A.html So, I'll go nap on an Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A. -- Last edit: 2016-01-09 12:50:13
