Old Family Photos #1 of 7

This looks to be in the early 20's. Possibly a dual cowl phaeton with a custom top.

Just a WAG but maybe a 1917 Scripps-Booth with a California top.

I never did either, until I owned one last year. It was made by Rex for a roadster.

Franklin made a two-door, four-passenger roadster, and there is one with a California top in, of all places, California.

Looks like it either has three doors (maybe two on the other side) or a split front seat to access the rear. The body has the contours of a Mitchell at the top of the door/body cut.

Re: Old Family Photos #1 of 7

Hi Folks,

As an amateur on Americans, do I spy a widow’s peak on the top of the front of the rad. Perhaps a cca 1920 National ??

From the windscreen forwards it sort of looks Buick/Packard/Willys ish from the mid 1920's.
