What cars are these?

The pictures were taken Aug 31, 1914

In the first photo, car 1 looks like a 1914 Buick. In the third photo, car 1 is a 1914 Studebaker, and car 2 is a 1914 Buick.

They all have 1912-14 Minnesota license plates. The plates all have 1912, 1913, and 1914 stamped on the same plate. By the numbers, you can see that the lower numbers were renewals in 1912 and therefore earlier cars. The higher numbers were new registrations and newer cars.

I hope that makes sense.

I think car #3 in the third picture is a 1912 Overland Model 61. The radiator badge is deceiving. On an Overland it is oval; this one looks different, but it may be a glare. Everything else matches, including the Atwood-Castle lights.

Car # 3 in picture # 3 could be a 1912 Everitt six cylinder car. The radiator emblem looks like a horizontal diamond which was the Everitt emblem and it has the large brass radiator that was on the 6-48. The front fenders are right however it seems most every one always copies every one else.

I believe the car in the 2nd pix is a 14 Oakland. I once had a 14 Oakland body with those cowl lights.

Were Oaklands using vee'd radiators by then? I think they were. I also think they were still right hand drive. This one appears to be left hand drive. I am pretty sure it is a 1913 Reo. It sure looks like the right hubcap as well as an upright crank.

Don't know about the cars, but Doran is half way between Breckenridge and Campbell at the junction of Hwy 9&75 in Wilkin County. Doran now boasts a population of about 70.
