What is the black bar in the center of the grill in the National pix?

That is the number 15 painted on the radiator....it's a race car. They used a lot of Nationals for racing.

This looks like a 1919-21 Chandler four passenger roadster. Access to the rear seat is a gap between the front seats.

Hi Keiser,

I was looking at the black shadow as pinpointed below.

I thought that it looked like the "widow's peak" curved up in the center.

Hi Willard36,

Not sure it is a 1919 Chandler. See photo below. The original does not seem to have a curved side to the header tank, but a positive angle. Chandlers all seem to have a uninterrupted curve

The car I believe is a 1919-21 Chandler four passenger roadster with the California top added.
The rear seat is accessed through a gap between the front seats.

Sorry but it did not look like my first post went through so I sent it again before I saw it. The 1917-18 Chandlers had a rounded edge on top of the doors but the 1919-21 had an angle like shown in the photo. I own a 1920 Chandler touring and the whole side profile looks identical except for the body style.
