A real Friday Grandma!
This week we do not have an ordinary Friday Lady. We have a real Friday Grandma! Let us introduce you to this gaily dressed lady, her name is Maria. She is born in Antwerp in 1903. The grandma of one of our very active and involved PreWarCar.com friends. Maria is nonchalantly leaning against we are almost certain is a pre-war. But we do not have any information about the car. Even though there is only a small part of the car visible, can anyone identify the make and maybe the year of the car?

With the Citroen 11CV the mirror was mounted on the dashboard and the chrome trim of the windshield was wider. What's more, its engine hood did not feature the gentle slope of the car in the picture...

The slope of the front hood was different with the Mercedes which also lacked the distinctively shaped mirror and air intake...

Nice picture from the family album! I am pretty sure the car is a Fiat 508 C "Balilla 1100" which was introduced in 1937. The following details make this assumption plausible: The slope of the streamlined engine hood, the position of the large front lights, and the distinctive shape of the interior mirror and the air intake in front if the windshield.
The Fiat 1100 was a well-designed and very robust car whose 32 h.p. ohv-engine continued to be produced after the war and also provided an excellent basis for sportscars. Thanks to independent front suspension, hydraulic brakes and moderate fuel consumption it was an attractive middle class car that sold very well. It was capable of a maximum speed of 105 km/h which enabled its owners to go on long distance journeys using the new motorways in Germany and Northern Italy.
Quite a number of these cars were produced in the former NSU factory in Heilbronn (Southern Germany). I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the Fiat in the picture was one of them. However, the German-made sedan bodies had one distinctive feature: the door hinges were attached at the rear, not at the front. Hence, if the original print does not show a door handle, it would most certainly be a car imported from Italy...
