Carlos Riplollès sends this picture. It was taken in 1942 during a field trip to mount Aneto in the Pyrenees, Spain. My friend knows it's their grandfather's car, but nobody seems to know the make or model. I've also noticed the rear gadget mounted on the car and have no idea about what it is. They seem to be repairing it. Could anybody identify the car? The family would really appreciate it.
editor: dear Carles , the 'gadget' you have noticed is a wood or coal burning generator to produce combustible gas to the engine during the wartime years when petrol was scarce or impossible to get. We find these generator cars all over Europe in that time. It seems the three gentleman are trying to get it burning (again). But for sure there are more knowledgeable readers who can explain better what they are up to. Plus which car it is of course!
