  1. Here's a 1920 Paige: The windscreen shape seems off, but the hinges indicate it is split. However, the wheels are wrong.
  2. From the 1921 film "The Nut" I'm presuming it's a 1920 as cars in silent film were usually new cars? It has cowl lights (or at least it looks like it does) which should be a hint. Excluded already are Empire, Case, Elgin, Stephens, Dixie Flyer, National and of course Cadillac. It has some Studebaker similarities but I am sure it is not a Stude; the windscreen shape also doesn't match any of these marques. I searched many major and minor makes from 1915/16 to the early twenties, but I couldn't find a match. I think it might be a Paige? That's one make I had forgotten to look at. I have two other urgent cases from the late 20s, but in accordance with the one thread per post rule I will send them in a few days.
  3. Definitely a Chandler. They used a distinct rear window that was shaped like the company's logo. Might also be a Cleveland (their budget make) but I don't know if they used the same kinf of rear window.
  4. Yes, I thought about Stoddard as well, but Stoddards had wood cowls to the end. Due to the hunched proportions I was thinking maybe an early Loco- or Oldsmobile, but it is neither of those.
  5. That is a good idea, I hadn't thought of it. I usually assume the cars come from museums, historical societies and locals. This is a very low-budget film, and the car only appears parked for one scene, so my guess is that it probably came from someplace like the Nethercutt Collection (filmed in Taft, CA)
  6. This car is from the film "Doll Graveyard" (2005) and, despite searching a myriad of major and minor makes of the period, I have not yet succeeded. It is curious in that the cowl would suggest a date of 1914 or possibly 1915, yet it still uses gas headlights, despite the fact that most manufacturers were already using electrics since 1913. The fenders are fat and uncrowned, so it is most probably an upmarket. It looks quite similar to a 1912 Amplex, but the cowl is not quite right and the fenders are thinner.
  7. I don't think it's going to be that easy. The red Ford A listed there doesn't appear on the series' page either. I checked all the pre-1932/33 interiors of the cars on the Waltons page and none of them match.
  8. Anyone got an idea on this dash cluster? It's from the 1971 pilot of The Waltons ( http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_70029.html ) and, as stated there, the only clue to identifying the car. I repeatedly searched several dash clusters from every just-Great Depression era make I could think of, but none of them fit. I'm worried that it may be a more obscure brand from the mid twenties where no dash cluster pictures can be found online....
