    What's this car?

    I've had this picture floating around for about a month or so now, origin unknown. I can't for the life of me figure out what this could have been, only that I know it's one of the sexiest asses I've ever seen. Seeing as there's some very knowledgable people around here *looks at henk*, I thought I'd pose the question here.

    What is this?

    Looks like an old Auburn, a '32 Boatail speedster

    NoOne knows better

    There have been many more boattail cars, but this could well be an Auburn.

    It is an Auburn 8-100 Speedster from 1932. This is your exact car and photo.

    Thankyou very much! A bit of a coincidence, I found those exact pictures only about 2 hours ago. Thanks nonetheless .

    Just came across another picture which I have absolutely no idea what it is. It's a real oddball, and was wondering if anyone could help me out on this one...
    I didn't want to start a new thread, there's enough "what's that car" threads here so far.

    Any help's appreciated.

    my first reaction is Crossley, but I am ready to accept any other suggestion

    A search of the Crossley site show nothing remotely close to this design, and it seems that Crossley stopped making cars around 1937. To me this car looks more recent...

    the American Crossleys were produced after the war. They had a 750 cc bevel driven OHC engine, which became were popular in motor racing and was even fitted to Siatas at the time

    I think it is the Flying Feather, Japanese mini from mid-1950s.
