paulrhd29nz Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi all, This is a friends Grand father, and has been trying to ID this car for years, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It's not an electric - note the large flywheel visible just underneath the body. It looks like a "curve-dash" Oldsmobile c. 1901-1904. Maybe a CDO aficionado can narrow it down and tell you the exact year.I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Early 1903 with unusual " stagger spoke" wheels that were used on the curved dash Olds for only part of that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrhd29nz Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thank you all.The photo is taken during the grand time of the Yukon Gold Rush in Canada.I thought, when I first saw this pic, that it looks like a curved dash, but buy going on the info on the photo from the Yukon archives statment that it was an electric car, I needed to know.This photo is well know in the Yukon as the first electric car. They will be happy to have it properly identified.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
