What do you call cars with a long narrow engine compartment

Old?

>>15875826
Is there no generic term for those cars with such a long and narrow hood?

>>15875826
this

>>15875817
We actually define these cars from their timeframe

Pre-war, before WW1
interwar, between WW1 and WW2
Post-war, after WW2.
At least that's how i've always talked about them.

Just call them pre-war because the abandoning of fully styled fenders and running boards coincided relatively accurately with the time after the war.

Thanks mate.

Phaetons

Shooting-brake body design iirc

>implying any of those two can compete with this

>>15875970
Phaetons are four door soft tops. OP's example wouldn't even be a phaeton.

>>15875976
Shooting brakes originally simply were wagon style vehicles with seating and cargo space for more occupants than a usual car.

>>15876012
actually OP's example is exactly a Phaeton.

"A phaeton is a style of open automobile or carriage without weather protection... with a cowl separating the rear passengers from the driver and front passenger."

Actually it's not. A cowl isn't an entire cabin, it's just a second windshield. OP's example is a town car, brougham or coupe de ville (and you'll notice something, the naming for later American car models wasn't picked randomly, but to falsely suggest wealth).

Or;

Veteran: 1886-1905
Edwardian: 1905-1914
Pre-War: 1918-1939
Classic:1945-1973
Retro:1974-1989
Modern:1990-

P.S. Any country that that was building cars 1914-18 and 1939-15 are traitorous scum

That's a reference to Cords. Pic related

>>15877890
Duesys, Cords, and Auburns are all from Auburn, Indiana. I visit the museum in the old dealership/corporate office once a year.
