Dave Mellor NJ Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We have had this nice photo for a few years, but have never had the time to come up with a positive ID, although we have a good idea of what it is not. Regardless, it a quite hand-some, approximately 35 h.p. machine with a very nice demi-tonneau body and we believe it to be circa 1908-1911. Can any of our readers come up with a positive ID of this fine looking machine? The Old Motor photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Hi, has anyone suggested Marion. The Radiator and cap are very close; and the name on the hubcaps, while not quite readable could say Marion. The rear drums look quite wide, which could indicate the Stutz/ Marion side by side brake arrangement. I think I can just make out the front of a full epileptic rear spring that would also support Marion. Interesting photo. All the best Greg in Canada Edited August 29, 2011 by 1912Staver (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm just guessing... Cadillac?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 I thought it looked like a Cadillac too but if you read the caption I think that's what they think it's NOT. If we get some good answers, like Marion I'll submit them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks to greg and Lief, that picture looks identical to the top one minus the spare. I'll post it back on Old Motor and tell you what is said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'm willing to agree that it seems very certain that this car is a 1910 Marion Model 10 from and additional photo I found showing it from the same angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
