Help identifying cars from 1908 or 1909 scrapbook photos in California
nzcarnerd replied to Major's topic in What is it?
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. -

1929 Pontiac. The serials numbers ran from 410101 to 530874. And the tag is in the right place - 'under the left front fender'.

Period images to relieve some of the stress
nzcarnerd replied to Walt G's topic in Period Photos - Pre WWII
The style of hood louvres suggests to me it is earlier than 1913 - more like 1908-10 maybe. -
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.

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 -

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. -

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.
