Guest bcjohnsonjr Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 We have this photo of my wife's mother Dorris Shopen taken at Elgin, IL circa 1919. Would appreciate an identification of the car. Caption on back by Doris reads "solo dance performed at National House, YWCA lessons"Thanks for any helpRegardsBCJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) The car in the second photo looks like about a 1925 Oldsmobile. Edited March 13, 2014 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 With the rounded radiator and sloped hood louvres it is much earlier than 1925. Circa 1918 is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Agree. Also look at the headlights and the hubcaps. Don't think it could be later than 1920 at the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
