Name that car!

[marcr1230]

Rainy day scanning session
some old dirty faded slides
anyone know how to expand the area scanned in Vuescan beyond 35mm slides ? I have some square images where the slide is almost at the edge of the mount, gets truncated by Vuescan

Anyway the challenge of the day - name that car:

 

[ruby.monkey]

Wilma. Definitely looks like a Wilma.

Or maybe a Doris?

 

[t.s.k.]

Peugeot?...<10chars>

 

[batterytypehah!]

I want to say Hillman but did they ever come in LHD? Or did you flip the plate?

I think its a Fiat but they sold off all their old designs to Eastern block countries so it could be from one those manufacturers. It's not a hilman.

1960 Corvair Monza

ETA Not a Corvair, the door handles are wrong. Oops.

Looks a lot like a Hino Contessa.

 

[tlitody]

if you put up a full size scan we could probably read the badge.

Nsu

Nsu

German car, part of Auto Union, also now related to Audi

That is no NSU Prinz type I am aware of, and my father went through a few of them.

Though the badge is different, this page gives some further clues. Note bumperettes, headlamp surrounds, and signal 'vents'.

Nope. Looks aside, there never was a four-door version of the Prinz.

 

[fidget]

Simca? no evidence, I just remember my neighbour had one. It looked like this(ish).

1960 Corvair Monza

And the head lights are too EU looking

Corvair

Ok, more evidence here (halfway down page). Compare rear door pattern and a badge matching the above example. Have i convinced anyone yet? 😉

I'm leaning towards the Hino Contessa
I don't know myself
I have a side view of the car , need to scan that to perhaps read the name

Ding, ding, ding! Looks like we have a winner! Although the badge is different?

Here's some detail - I feel like I'm playing CSI - apologies for the poor quality - the sources are dodgy

Looks like a "Hino Contessa"
