    It could be Hungary or somewhere like that. They were right hand drive until well after the First World War. It may even be France because after the allies were pushed out of Europe in 1949 they left behind a lot of their vehicles. My guess is 1925 Essex sedan.

  9. Before the 1908 launch of the Ford Motor Company's Model T, virtually every car in the United States placed the steering wheel on the right. In fact, Ford only made the change to make it easier for people entering on the passenger side to avoid oncoming traffic. HRP

    I think it was probably taken in Paris by a famous French photographer, Robert Doisneau.

  13. If it was an Essex or Hudson, it would have suicide doors all around with piano hinges.

  14. BLEACH gave a good hint. So how about the Citroen B14 from 1922 to 1926.
    Short fenders, floppy sunvisor, long cowl. 100% vertical windshield.

    the picture was taken in Paris in 1944, and it looks just like a Citroen, so I'm guessing it's a Nash.

    Yes, note the tool box in the splash apron under the door, another Citroen clue. Bob

    The Mullin Collection has a featured display on Citroen, my daughter took me there back in January. I'd hoped to see a lot of Bugattis, but found the Citroen display educational. There could be a Von Dutch connection, [​IMG]
    did von Dutch see this 1920's flying lemon radiator cap and replace it with an eyeball?
