What do you call cars with a long narrow engine compartment like pic related?

Old?

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

this

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.

>ywn run over plebians in your golden godmachine
why even live

>ywn make 300 ft lbs of torque with 60 whp

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

Duesenberg > Rolls Royce

Coffin-nose? Dunno, I've heard that getting thrown around before.

>implying any of those two can compete with this

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

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

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).

you are correct, my apologies

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

>FWD

Yes. Old.

>1939-2015
>C U R R E N T Y E A R
Bish pls

They're only dangerous if they have seatbelts

>you are correct, my apologies
This is the worst damage control I've ever seen!

That's a reference to Cords. Pic related

>implying God's drive train is a bad thing

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

absolutely btfo no recovery

> not just changing the gearing to convert torque to bhp
