M. Strand Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi! Would very much appreciate help to identify the make of this car (and any other details you could tell me about it). The photo was sent home by an emigrant to his old father in Norway. It's dated September 6 1927.With thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Looks to be a 22 or so, Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 This car could be a Roamer. They took on the look of the Rolls Royce radiator, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 How about an Elcar?http://api.ning.com/files/C-mSvsqTTK5jM8cGgfsG5KQa4TG8sNBI0p-CsfwDMPgS3*tBwvPO*RF06PAMNPs*VALV0AOcp6phYmR5ZTAsssOM*zJRy*6k/IMG_8650b.jpghttp://www.jaylenosgarage.com/your_garage/cars/8150.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Saxton Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Radiator badge shape is rectangular, which is wrong for both Roamer and Mr Leno's Elcar. Roamer badge was similar shape to the radiator itself, but the other way up. The car proportions are a bit more boxy than Roamer; and the louvres on the bonnet sides pointing inwards are unusual. (The only other instance of this I have ever encountered is a very ealy Isotta Freschini straight 8, engine number 4). From 1925 Roamer became more scarce, and practically all would have had Lycoming straight 8's of either 4 or 5 litres displacement. This car looks proportionately more as though it was a six, so it is more likely Moon. Perhaps one of the badge specialist from Memorabilia can tell us for sure.

Guest elmo39 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 looking at my American car spotters guide 1920-39 i would hazard a guess at Moon 21/22 it states there that the hood louvres are punched inward on the Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
