locoman Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hi,Can anyone help identify this car - make, model, year?Thanks,locoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I don't know what it is. The context would help, I suppose; if you knew the people, state, country, etc. I'd be surprised if this veteran car was built after 1903. I suppose it could be an extremely early Pierce or possibly a De Dion Bouton. It looks like the crankhole and flywheel are visible on the r.s. of the auto.

nzcarnerd Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Unlikely to be a De Dion as they had vertical engines. I guess enough time spent trawling through The Standard Catalog might find what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Looking at the 1904 Handbook of Gasoline Automobiles, though a little too new and not showing any exact matches, suggests Elmore, Knox, Pierce (Stanhope Model), and Stevens-Duryea.

Layden B Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 May be a St. Louis ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locoman Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 May be a St. Louis ?Thanks to all that replied. I have no idea what the car is. I'm also guessing 1901-03 vintage. Picture was given to me by a historical society to help identify. Picture was taken in Beecher, Illinois. No idea who the people are. If anyone would like me to send them a copy by e-mail, just send me your address. Thanks for any help. Locoman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Olds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCGHandyman Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) I've seen pics of that type car before. I thought Oldsmobile at first also. The 1903 era is right. I have pics of similar cars but they don't match - one is a Stevens Duryea gas car, another is an American Electric. It looks like a steam car with it's a boiler in back & condensing coils under the front. But that could just be the flywheel in back. Still looking...
