  1. That style of tyre suggests to me maybe 1940s?? Maybe someone can decipher the lettering.
  2. The other one looks to be a Columbia electric. Even though its design looks earlier it might date from around the same time as the Mitchell.
  3. Buster Keaton owned two of these - IMCDb.org: Mercer in movies and TV series
  4. 1929 Pontiac. The serials numbers ran from 410101 to 530874. And the tag is in the right place - 'under the left front fender'.
  5. Vehicle registration plates of Connecticut - Wikipedia
  6. The style of hood louvres suggests to me it is earlier than 1913 - more like 1908-10 maybe.
  7. Sometimes one way of telling which was round a photo should be is the way men's coats button up but in this case I don't think that is of any help.
  8. Very few cars of this era had left hand drive, especially those in the medium/high price bracket. I wonder if the mystery car should look like this -
  9. My first thought was Ols as well but - the grease cap is reminiscent of Olds but the hubs are not -
  10. Reminiscent of the triple berline posted above is this double berline. Not yet sure of the chassis.
  11. A big early Panhard with its closed body opened.
  12. Most of the MMC (Motor Manufacturing Company) cars I have seen photos of are small runabouts. This is the only large, closed car I have seen.
  13. The Hershey family touring in Egypt in 1913 with a Panhard landaulet -
  14. 1908 Humber 15hp. 1970s photo taken not long after its restoration.
  15. 1915 Cadillac sedan, a mostly original car I believe.
  16. A coupe body on a 1913 Unic, presumably a recreation. Restored several decades ago.
  17. A circa 1902-03 Wolseley with a partially closed body in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.
  18. 1916 T sedan taking part in the 1965 Vintage Car Club of New Zealand International Rally.
  19. 1918 Nagant, with the same owner as the Motobloc -
  20. Siddeley cars, circa 1905, from the brief period between Herbert Austin relinquishing the company and when it became Wolseley-Siddeley. The four cylinder engine is unusual in having the block and cylinders cast as one, and then having individual heads for each cylinder. The head joints are 'angled', much as you would expect and poppet valve pocket to be. An acquaintance had one of these engines, so I had a chance to study it. Engine speed was controlled by a complex system of levers which altered the valve lift.
