memaerobilia Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) ID help would be appreciated..I am in process of trying to ID old family photos, to pass on family history to my adult son. This is my great uncle. and the license plate is possibly 1923 or 1928? Wow! no shortage of headroom in this vehicle... (I am guessing that he may be on the way to add air to the left front tire) Edited June 28, 2017 by memaerobilia forgot to add photo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Chandler around 1920 maybe. Factory chummy roadster body by the look of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Looks right except for the front bumper. That could be an accessory added on however. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Saxton Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It seems that particular bumper was a common aftermarket apology for two wheel brakes. It reminds me that Roy Grey, the second owner of Alan Powell's A model Duesenberg here in Melbourne for about 40 years, told me that during the war, the garage of his then home was too short for the Duesenberg with both front and back bumper bars attached. Those beautiful hydraulic brakes were possibly the best on any car for many decades. Roy said he would never run into the back of anyone, but there was always risk he could be hit from behind. So he removed the front bumper to fit the car to the garage; and it was somehow lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 In 1923, I believe MOST cars only got accessory or aftermarket bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
