Johnny177 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 This photo was taken at the famous hollow tree in Stanley Park, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, which is still there today. Would be grateful if anyone could tell me the make and model of the vehicle. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Looks like a model 30 Cadillac, about 1911 or 1912. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny177 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hey, thanks, nickelroadster, that's really good of you. I've done the Google Images tour and it sure looks like you're right. The problem for me is that I really want this picture to have been taken in 1907 or 1908 because that would help me identify one of the ladies in the car. Any chance it's an earlier model Cadillac?

PFindlay Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 No chance. It's a 1912 Cadillac so the earliest might be fall of 1911. There's a number on the side of the left cowl lamp. That's its BC registration number. If you can read the number you might find the registered owner on the BC Registration archives at http://bcpl8s.ca Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny177 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Wow. What a great bit of information. Thanks, PFindlay. The number on the cowl lamp was indeed readable and I now have the name of the owner of that vehicle, which tells me a whole lot more about the photo because the owner was the husband of the young lady at the wheel, and they got married in May of 1911, so everything adds up!

Brass is Best Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Has to be a 1912 Cadillac. The car has nickel trim and the box on the running board houses the Batteries, Finger Switch and Timer for the Self Starter System. the front bumper is an accessory.
