993cc ◊ 2021-03-20 20:55	1929-33 6C 1750 Gran Turismo /Cabriolet/. Probably.. An educated guess after some research. For a car stripped like that (even radiator cowl) the long wheelbase and windshield line were only clues. Too long and wide for a racecar/sportscar like a Gran Sport etc. Note distance from driver to rear axle, this is a 4/5 seat car and an open body. You'll find more bodies like that based on the 6C rather than the 8C though who made it is a more open question. Perhaps based on something similar to this Link to "www.ruotevecchie.org" but with 1750 engine as 2300 was mostly used with mid-1930s+ cars. Above tube video: at 0:56 there's a glimpse of the back which is devoid of bodywork just as the front. Other views show lengthy wheelbase and from above -- Last edit: 2021-03-24 16:11:16
