Chris Paulsen Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 Here is another early car photo. I cannot identify it. <BR>Note the 10 spoke front wheels, 10 hub bolts front, 12 rear, and nearly flay rear hub caps. The radiator emblem appears to be a vertical oval or like shape. Also the step plate under the rear door. <P>Can anyone help?<P><BR> <p>[ 01-14-2002: Message edited by: peterg ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Soto Frank Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 Chris,<P>Olds or Cadillac?<P>1910-1914 ?<P> <P>Judging by the relatively short hood legnth, I would guess it's either a 4 or a V-8 ?<P>Can't tell for sure of it's shaft or chain drive- are those "bump-outs" for sprocket covers just ahead of the rear fenders?<BR>If chain drive, perhaps Pierce?

Guest Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 I am inclined to say this is an early Mercer. I believe 1909 or 1910. <BR>I know its not a Lozier!<BR>Any other opinions?<P>Mike Turner <BR>Seattle WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Paulsen Posted January 17, 2002 Author Share Posted January 17, 2002 Thanks for the input. It is not an Oldsmobile or a Cadillac. There are some similarities, but not all things match. It appears to be shaft-drive.<BR>Maybe Mercer, but I cannot positively match it with other early Mercer pictures I have.<BR>I agree, definately not a Lozier.<BR>Keep the ideas coming...<BR>Thanks,<BR>Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 I can only advise you to post it at <A HREF="http://www.mysterymotors.com" TARGET=_blank>www.mysterymotors.com</A> of Honest John, brilliant website anyway. If that doesn't help you can also consider posting it at my site <A HREF="http://www.prewarcar.com" TARGET=_blank>PreWarCar</A>. My readers have identified a lot of cars as well. But first try Honest John and send him my greetings. Joris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Chris:<P>Take your pick; that car is either an Abbott-Detroit, American Simplex, Pierce, or Velie. If you have trouble narrowing it down, let me know and I will pursue it. Also, the year is 1910 give or take. Good luck and it is definitely not a Mercer.

Joris Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Dear JF, Chris Paulsen allready offered help. But I always can use an extra expert on identifying early Americans. Have a look at this page of my website <A HREF="http://www.prewarcar.com/previous_features.asp?offset=60" TARGET=_blank>PreWarCar - previous features</A> It's the second car from the top. Thanks Joris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 I Have compared your photo to the Velie Register book, and based on the right rear door, right hand drive, it appears to be a 1911 Velie, Model G - 5 passenger Touring Car. If you contact Bob Nelson at his E-mail Address: velie1@earthlink.net he may be able to help you. Good Luck.<BR>Steamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 The rear hub design looks to be Marmon. Can any of the Marmon owners on the new forum help us out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 The picture of the 1910 and 1911 Velie in the Standard catalog show <BR>rounded tops on the front fender not the flat top fenders in the above picture,and the<BR>hood in the cat. does not seem to have the Packard shape to it.

Guest Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 This looks like a 1910 Jackson to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbarn Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Not a Marmon. Fenders, doors, lights, and wheel spokes are not same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
