Guest DSunlin Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Here is a picture of my grandfather in his car. He worked at Midland Motors in 1913, so I assume it is a Midland. I'd appreciate it if anyone had an idea as to the year and model. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Possibly an American Underslung....notice the upside-down frame. Here is a 1913 red one....and a 1914 blue one....Your grandfather's car looks like a 1913 although the wheels only have 5 lugs on the red one.Go here to see another like your grandfather's....right down to the pinstripes on the side of the fenders....http://theoldmotor.com/?p=4669 Edited January 18, 2015 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DSunlin Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thank you! You have a good eye for detail!I was wondering, the pic looks like the driver is on the right side, and the other pics you shared have that feature as well. Interesting!

nzcarnerd Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 It is interesting that the blue car in Keiser's pics has fixed wheel rims; unusual for 1914. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DSunlin Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thank you for your generous responses!It looks like the spoke in this car's wheels are made of wood. Is that accurate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
