Re: name that car
Nope......Dad finally picked it up last month.He's been haunting the owner for quite a while. Mechanically,it's very sound,the body panels are mainly aluminium, but the wooden framing for the body is virtualy gone.He's planning on having it back to original body condition by August,and reconditioning the mechanicals after that.
He's thrilled with it,the only other complete and running example is a fully restored museum exhibit at the Coventry Motor Museum.

Re: name that car
 Well done. I love vintage cars. I am from Auburn, Indiana. That town's claim to fame is it is the "home of the classics". Auburns, Cords and Duesenburgs were made there. Indianapolis Motor Speedway was their test track in the beginning years.  Auburn  Cord frame...American's first FWD car  Duezy

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...ad.php?t=15965 It's by no means a classic, and obviouly the condition is less than concours, but once it's restored, it will be an asset.Not that Dad will ever sell it.He still has the 1938 Minx that I sent back to him about 15 years ago!

Re: name that car
A Hillman and a 1935 Riley are not even close to being the same car - Rootes wouldn't own Riley for many more years...
When Taranaki stated that riley was close, he really confused me, sure the fenders look "Riley-ish) but the louvres, cowl, and the top of the hood are totally uncharacteristic of any 1930's Riley. Since nobody correctly guessed, who goes next? Speaking of Auburn, one my mother's friend's father's Cord is in the Auburn museum, his father bought it new in Indiana and his family sold it to the museum after he died.

Re: name that car
O.K. this one will be pretty easy (I think) because you can see the front of the car pretty easily, and because this car was made for many decades...

Nope. Not British (or Japanese).
