Would help also if you didn't have the answer in the link for the next time :D
 
'41 Ford that might have been a Tudor/coupe sedan or a business coupe (But from this angle it looks like long doors, so probably not a BC)
You said it was easy...but in reality this one is quite tricky of you don't know the story and just look at the nose.

Perfectly correct! :D

A 41 Tudor Coupe - Fords are always difficult during this period as there is very little to distinguish between a 39 and a 41 - then the War came and car design was frozen for 5 years.
Over to you :D
 
JOH! :wtf:

All I can do is place it as probably early 50's as it seems to have half a 1955 Vanwall body, beyond that I haven't a clue!
 
Swinging back to that '41 for a second. Ford produced 2 versions of their coupe. 2 had long doors, the Tudor sedan and the Coupe. Obviously to make it easy for rear seat passengers to get in and out. They also had a rear seat(s).
Then they made another coupe that looked 99% the same, the Business coupe. When looked side by side the BC had a slightly different rear profile to the other 2. It used the short doors from the Sedan, a different rear deck, no rear seats & were mostly used by salesmen. The boot was humongous. So big you got a roller system to load/recover your stuff from inside through the boot and vice versa :D
Just some interesting schtuff
 
Got it, the DaMolNar Bisiluro 1955 (Nardi)? The end was an endorsement of the design by Chris Bangle?

Aha! The car was blown off the track, literally by the "wake" of a passing Jag in the 1955 Le Mans! Although I still think that is preferable to an endorsement by Bangle!

Strangely this one has come up linked to my last car and more obscurely HammerDown's.
