What Make and Year is this?

Hi Guys,

This is my first post so bear with me if I mess anything up. I have had this photo of my late Dad for many years and have always been curious of the make and year of the auto. Someone once speculated that it may be a Maxwell - I have done a lot of searching around the web but haven't found anything - can someone help?

Thanks and best regards,

Jim

Re: What Make and Year is this?

You did fine. Lots of folks have difficulty posting photos and you got it right the first time.

Welcome to the AACA Discussion forum. I am not enough of an expert to identify the car, but I'll bet someone on this forum will identify it for you soon.

I'm also thinking Essex but I think about 1925. Wish the visor was clearer in the photo.

Thanks to those who replied. I scanned the photo at 1200 dpi and could make out Essex on the wheel hubs! What a kick to finally make an identification. I found a lot of original ads reproduced on the web and this is surely a 1922 - 1925 Essex. I've got another one attached which I think was his brother-in-law Everett - looks like maybe a home-built?

Best regards,

Jim

There were aftermarket bodies for Model Ts. The name Ames comes to mind. So your uncle could be driving an early "tuner car" with body, wheel covers and possibly a hopped up engine.

Wow! you guys did so good on that I thought I'd send one. Sent to me by a customer, we'd like to know the make and model of the truck. The lady's outfit is obviously newer then the vehicle, so I'm guessing it's a restoration; probably fresh when the photo was taken.

The truck above is a 1916 VIM.

I've had several family photos identified on the forum. A 1915 REO bus was a recent ID.
