Don´t you think she´s lovely as a picture? We do and if you agree, click the main pic and you´ll see that she´s worth to be framed. We do know that the girl sits in a magnificent Isotta Fraschini, but we´re not too sure about the model (8A DHC by Castagna perhaps?). Can you help us? We wouldn't be surprised if the car is still around. Anyway, the older lady on the porch seems to have her doubts about all the commotion in front of her.
The type of body I think is Faux-Cabriolet by Weymann, but I do not think it is made by Weymann in Hauge, Netherlands because it has an Italian look.
The Italian style and rounding between the running board and rear fender, makes me think that it may be made by Touring of Milan.
The year I think, because of some of the details and the lower body style is 1930
It looks to be a short chassis.
If it is a Tipo 8ASS or not can not be known without seeing the engine.
Just because it has short chassis and sports body does not mean that it is a Tipo 8ASS, it can be both Tipo 8A and Tipo 8AS engine in a 1930 IF. Among several examples of it, include chassis 1462 one short chassis roadster of 1930 with 8A engine.
Strange at such a late roadster.
But hopefully this was a 8ASS when you think about how much better 8ASS engine was.
I have a memory of and is almost certain, some years ago have seen a black/white photograph of the same model as this but with dark top.
Then it should have been two made of this model, intresting.
My guess/conclusion is that this car is:
1930 (most likely Tipo 8ASS) a sports body on short chassis with Faux-Cabriolet Weymann body type made ​​by Touring of Milan
