Hi all,

Hello Andrey,
I believe it is a Left Hand Drive Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet (coachbuilder unknown).

I was puzzled by the LHD until I saw a pic of King Victor Emmanuel himself riding in one:

Hi Andrey/Max:

Well, this happens once in a while.
Andrey's car is actually a 1938 Steyr 220 which became the official car of Col. Mzhachih of the Russian Army and is pictured with his driver, Tyunin.
The photo was taken in Berlin on 15/05/1945.
The bodywork was done by Gläser of Germany and I have posted a shot of a 1937 version of the car below.
Nuts. For the moment, the photo will not upload and I will get another one.
Well, now the other one uploaded and it is a much closer version in the details.

I was going through some of my older files today and found a few unknowns or partially unknowns that may be of interest to identify.

First one seems to be a Chevrolet from 1934/5 with a very distinctive body that seems to me to be of a standardized type rather than an umbau
I know that the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark all used Chevrolet vehicles in this era but I cannot find a match.

Does anyone here know from where this truck came and if it was a standard body type for that country?

Here is another possible beute. I have no idea what marque or model the truck is.

A third one.
I cannot tell if it is LHD or RHD. To my eyes, it might be Italian but I am just not sure.

Another one that I think I can partly ID.
It is a Mercedes Benz, possibly/probably an L2000. It seems to have a series produced Polizie body.

Does anyone have more details.?

[Bill Murray]

And one more that I cannot figure out.
Could be German, could be beute??

Hi Bill,

The last one appears to have the Magirus logo on the nose; M 15 maybe.

Hi Bill,

The photo resides in my collection. The watermarks have either been removed or it is an exact copy.
It is for sale, along with my entire vehicle photo collection if anyone is interested.

Cheers,

Thanks for the correction and background, Bill.
They certainly look quite similar. I'll correct my metadata. Sometimes the more logical path is the correct one!
I still wonder about the LHD in the King's photo (which may actually be an Astura). Or is His Majesty riding in a Steyr too?

Hi Bill,

2. Maybe Büssing-NAG ?
3. Maybe SPA 38 R ?

Hi Markus:

Thank you for pointing out the logo, my tired old eyes missed it.

I would make it a KHD M30 impressed civilian vehicle.

Below is the military version from Holger's site.
