Does have that Nash-ish look, but incorrect.
Very rare.

Tucker ?

I am still pondering Serenity's auto, but here is another to wonder about.

Tucker ?

Negative / Tucker had the distinctive Cyclops center headlight that would pivot in conjunction with the steering.
Coincidentally, same time period however.

Horch, made in Germany

I admire the craftsmanship but it leans a little to the artsy side for me. I prefer the mid 50s- late 60s sportscars if I were at a show.

I agree. I saw these Saturday, at the local "old home day" parade. I motioned to the lady in the nova to spin the tires, & she actually did! Nice.

Who can identify this rare auto? (American made)

Since it's so small, I'd guess a Crosley.Everything they built was in small numbers.

Excellent guess, but no.

Sweet 70 Charger.

Wonder if that's an original Yenko Nova? There's a Nova of that body style for sale off the side of the highway on my way home. I've noticed it for years. Wonder what shape it's in.

​Serenity, might that be a Sears?

 

[serenity now]

Not a Sears.

The strangest encounter I've ever had with a classic American car was in Austria in 1984. It was in some little town area outside Salzburg. It was a coffin-nose Cord sporting Texas plates. I was nearly run over minutes later in a crosswalk by a tour bus running a red light.

Photo from Bonneville Speedweek. I so want this.

My grandparents owned a bakery. They had a couple! Late 40's - early 50's International Harvester Metro van. My grandfather and my father both drove them. They got rid of the last one around late 1963- early 1964. I used to "drive" it when I was a little tike. I cried when it got towed away. Incidentally, it was painted brown. I guess my fate was sealed when I was 4 years old.

The Sears Allstate was a re-badged Kaiser Henry J.

This is a 1948 Playboy made by the Playboy Motor Car Corp. of Buffalo, New York.
Only 97 were produced before the company went bankrupt.

Below is the hood emblem.

Now that you mention it the headlights do look enhanced.

Speaking of headlamps...... Name this one

 

[cachsux]

That is a Delahaye. Spelling may be incorrect. Gorgeous cars. They're on my " win the lottery, buy one " bucket list.

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento...

A carbon fiber supercar with a 570-hp engine. Goes 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 217 mph. It's purely a track car, not street legal. It has a price tag over $2.5 million and only 20 will be made. All were pre-sold last year but delivery in 2013

There is only one thing on 'my win the lottery, buy one list.' A P-51D Mustang. Then, if I had enough money left, I'd do two chicks at the same time, man. 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
