    OK, now I can tell you I haven't the slightest idea what it is!

    But likely someone her can.

    P.S. I think it's ugly, whatever it is!

    And opinions are like - uh - rectal orfices. They all stink, except mine!

    Rolls - Royce, Bentley or maybe a Daimler, not worth my time to research, **** ugly.
     
  12. Looks like its too expencive to be driving at night in, thats why theres no ****ing headlights!!
     
  13. I've seen it before and it looks worse in this photo with that background than it could possibly look in real life.
    It's either a Rolls with some German body like Sindelfingen. Or a Delage or Delahaye from a feverdream.I need to show this to friends who are more immersed in these than myself.

  15. some kind of coachbuilt rolls, It does have head lights (look close if you can stand it) they're flip out ones. the rear body looks very mulliner but the front is just **** ugly

    The wheel covers and right hand drive are typically English. I think the grille indicates that it's a Daimler.

    Looks like a rebody by Figoni et Falaschi from France. They did a lot of swoopy outragious designs on cl***ic era cars.

  20. I think that's right. I can't find my info but I think I saw it at Pebble Beach around 1990 or so.

    It reminds me of the Nubar Gulbenkian Rolls Royce Silver Wraith which was a sedanca. The Gulbenkian Rolls was built by Hooper, normally a very conservative coachbuilder. Gulbenkian commissioned a number of very, um, startling, cars.

    This one seems more razor-edged than the typical Figoni et Falaschi. Their stuff was very swoopy, but ususally working in more rounded forms.

    Gorgack! attention Gorgack! come in Gorgack..... a primative earthling has posted a digicine of one of our early terra-probes. You know if adverse telemetry reaches the mothership within the next 20 tridips our mission here may be compromised. I suggest we re-galitize the entire region with component K-12 to ***ure our mind conditioning is aligned with the teachers unions' directives and this seed of critical thinking is once again eliminated before someone realizes what they are looking at. Drobic out.
     
  24. Looks like an early prototype for this...

    I say Delahaye. How say you? :rolleyes:
     
  26. My only other thought would be Saoutchik, also swoopy designs.

    Definitely a custom job, just tasteless
