Some time ago, Adullamite posted a picture of an odd little red car he'd come across on his travels. I'm a car buff, so I usually am pretty good at identifying old cars. (Cars from the nineties onward I generally have no interest in).
This time I was stumped. But I think I may have found the answer, or would guess that if I could find the original pic.... But I've been unable to remember when it was or the post title....
So, Adullamite, did it look at all like this?
If so, it was a Lloyd... A Lloyd Alexander, built by Norddeutscher Lloyd, the shipping company...
As I can't find the post, it's possible it was nothing like these. If so.... Sigh. I thought I might have solved a mystery.
I'm sure I kept the picture somewhere. I will have to search.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right, the mob have rushed to identify this car, come and see!
ReplyDeleteA mystery solved!
ReplyDeleteHey! Adullamite! Give me some credit! ;)
ReplyDeleteA very Merry Christmas to you and RDG, Soub...enjoy it to your utmost. I hope you have a wonderful time. And may 2015 treat you both kindly. Cheers from Down Under! :)
Lee, you can have the praise.... It is a Lloyd Alexander, and I'd previously been thinking of a Borgward Isabella, but now I know that both names were used by the same factory. But I couldn't find Adullamite's original pic in order to check my deductions.... So you agree, and Adullamite's pics match, Yayyyy! I love resolving puzzles.
DeleteI wish you and your Texan girl a happy 2015! Cheers from Amersfoort!
ReplyDeleteThank You Rob from Amersfoort, hope you're staying warm in Amersfoort. (Texas is cold and wet right now, well... 5-8 degrees, so, a bit too much like where I came from, but winter's short.)
