West Peterson Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Can anyone tell me what these are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 The one in the center says, "Overland" on the front of the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVS619 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 The first car is a Regal. It says so on the radiator. It appears to be a 1909 or perhaps an early 1910 Model 30. I have a 1909 Regal and except for the headlights (those on the car in the photo appear earlier and not Regal) the car looks the same as mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Good catch, both of you. We had a Regal, too, but ours was a Twenty Underslung, so I didn't even think about that. Looks like this one is around 1909 or so, and the Overland looks to be about a 1912. I suspect the cycle to be a Harley Davidson, possibly a Series 18 of some sort. Late teens early Twenties maybe?

Craig Gillingham Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It is a Harley, and that style of front mud guard was used between 1916 to 1920. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodfiddler Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 That's a beautiful young lady in the back seat of the Overland. They may have been from here: http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/archives/26319/ Interesting history in that town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does yours have an emblem there also? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVS619 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 My 1909 has the name Regal in script stamped into the radiator and I also have the brass script that I have yet to put on the front of the radiator as I can not seem to find brass screws long and/or thin enough to go through the radiator. The car in the picture has both. I now believe that the car in the picture is a 1909 Model 30. My Regal is stored at my mother's house (she is 92 and in a rehabilitation center due to a broken leg so I get to use her garage as I try to get three other brass cars worked on and maybe even running). However, the next time I get over there I will take a photo of the stamped script and try to post it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodfiddler Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Thanks AVS - best wishes for your Moms speedy recovery. I looked and had identified the Regal (from the radiator script), but those headlights threw me to left field. it seems those headlights are from the 1905 era, yes?

AVS619 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Those headlights are great but I would think earlier than 1909 (any experts out there that know more about these lamps?). I have seen these type of lamps on original photos from 1907 and 1908 on some Buicks so maybe not too much earlier than 1909. They most likely gave out more light than the original 1909 Regal lamps. The headlamps on my Regal have no name but the side and tail lights are E & J's. The side lights on the Regal in the photo look like the E & J's on my car.
