  1. That is a handle in the front, with hinge in rear, so 1935.
  2. Attached are some photos of a 1909 Buick Model 19. There are only minor differences from the O.P. Note especially the match of the sheet metal cover over the front of the rear spring. I found one photo which had the rear door molding at the very same height as the O.P.
  3. The 1930 Buick radiator cap was flat, as shown in the first photo; the 1931 cap had a winged 8 on top. 1931 outer bumper guards had less of a taper on the sides, vs. the 1930 guards which tapered almost to a point. I believe this is a 1930.
  4. Pierce Model 48, 7 passenger, probably 1910. Note that the negative has been reversed, as Pierce stuck with right hand drive until 1920.
  5. It appears that one license plate has a last number of "8", and one has "9", so maybe part of a fleet.
  6. Extension trunk, including trunk rack, mounting brackets, and hardware. Very straight and solid, except needs rust repair in bottom corners. Latch castings need finishing. $ 1,200. Hershey delivery possible. romarf22@columbus.rr.com
  7. Less than 1 mile. According to a "Wayback Machine" post, "The Locomobile plants were located at the foot of Bridgeport's Main Street, on the edge of Seaside Park where the United Illiminating Company has its oil tanks."
  8. Wilson Marshall died March 29, 1934, and his obituary is listed in the Hartford Courant on March 30, 1934. You might find some clues there. He was buried in New York, next to his wife and son. You also might try to find his will in Bridgeport; maybe, just maybe, he left a Locomobile to a relative or servant?
  9. This is a 1932 5-window coupe. (Fisher Body 32567.)
  10. That's it! Thanks very much!
  11. Need identification of set of (4) Clutch disks or plates for a teens-era drum clutch, Multibestos 7 ¾” x 5 3/4” x 5/32” linings on each side of steel plates having notched (toothed) perimeter. Probably used in conjunction with (3) steel plates plus flywheel surface and pressure plate surface. Outside diameter: 8 ½”, teeth spacing: 5/16” o.c.
  12. How about Matheson "Silent Six"?
  13. I believe this Kissel-looking speedster actually is a Kissel ! C.T. Silver built custom cars on many different chassis - including Kissel in the late teens, and sometimes used "portholes" in the hood and cowl. (See http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/s/silver/silver.htm) He formed an association with the Kissel company, and was responsible for the "Silver Special" and the Gold-Bug speedster design. Some of the O.P. features that look like Kissel are the curve on the front of the rear fender, the long vertical grease fitting access hole in the splash apron, the large cowl vent, and of course the top mechanism.
  14. Essex. 1919, 1920, and early 1921 looked pretty much the same.
  15. I believe it is a 1968 Oldsmobile 98 Town Sedan.
  16. Whoops! I leaped before I looked. The O.P. has fender lights, so disregard my previous post.
  17. The Graham in Keiser's post is a 30 1/2; the 8 cylinder had hood doors and fender lights, and the 6 had louvers and no fender lights.
