Whitsun in Blankenberghe, Belgium



Blankenberge (a name referring to the blank or white sand dunes of the small beach village) is a pleasant hideout for a good weekend with beach strolls and good food. This is how it is today and it was like this hundred years ago and also 80 years ago when this postcard was printed. It is a rare occasion that a postcard will show high end cars like here, so we wouldn't be surprised if this picture is taken in front of a quality hotel. For sure on or very near the King Leopold Place, or? 

Please help us out ID-ing the car from left to right:
A. '31 Renault Monaquatre?  
B. Talbot 'Six' Faux Cabriolet?
C. Fiat?  
D. Alvis Speed 20?
E. a Bugatti or more likely a Hotchkiss?

C is indeed a Ford, but the grille appears to have a straight leading edge, which makes it 1934. The 1933 grille was subtly and seductively concave.

I agree with Robbie - definitely a Lago Talbot and the last a Voisin. I can't see the radiator bending inwards at the bottom for a Hotchkiss
