Title: Help needed in identifying this car
Post by: Julia on 02 February, 2012, 09:40:18 PM
Does anyone know by any chance what car is this and whether it could be Lancia related? The photo was taken at a hill climb in Canada, circa 1955.

Thank you :)

No chance! That looks far too 'home made' to have a Lancia connection!  ;)  :o

It was quite popular in the 50s for people to custom make (their own) car body ... albeit running on pretty common running gear. I say this because the car looks fibreglass! It's likely someone's taken an old car and given it a streamlined body to make it more competitive ... but it's probably not from an established manufacturer.
