nzcarnerd Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Too early for a Chrysler product. The tall skinny wheels, no front brakes and the general look of the car suggest a date of either side of 1920. It could be a Buick - the hubcaps look like Buick - but I can't be 100% certain. Most Buicks have an oval rear window but this one - http://www.prewarbuick.com/img/cars/f/1920-Oregon-Caves-Buick.jpg - obviously taken in 1923, does not.

nzcarnerd Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Had another look at this one. Yes it is a Buick and the coarse hood louvres and the slight rearward slope to the windshield make it a 1918 E series Buick, more specifically a Model 45 touring on the 118" wheelbase. This was Buick's biggest seller that year with just over 60,000 built, including export models.here is one with the same rear window shape - http://lastchancegarage.net/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/1918_BuickLF.1791240351918%20Buick;LF - and I am guessing that the spotlight is a factory option.
