I agree that the gearbox looks odd, but I am fairly sure it is a Standard engine. did the early Roadster use twin SUs?

On this site - http://www.teambuick.com/reference/years/77.php - the Skylark coupe is 27. It is the Century that is 57. U is the engine code and the 7 will be 1977 and the T, the plant code (Tarrytown, NY).

We have just had the head off our Ferguson TEA tractor and this looks similar. Without doing research on it, and if it is supposed to be a sports car engine, I think it might be a Triumph TR2,3 or 4 engine.

Looks to be a Model 4 which was first introduced in October 1919 as a 1920 model. You would have to find casting dates and serial numbers to prove its age. From the style of headlights and cross bar it is quite an early one; not later than about 1921 maybe.

Just been looking back at a few threads and see the last point from the original poster was not answered; re the frame number on the rear spring horn. That can only be found when the body is removed from the frame. See the pic in post #22 of this thread - http://forums.aaca.org/f230/1925-chrysler-speedster-363367.html

A picture of the logo would be useful. Maybe it is A O Smith the chassis maker who made most of GM's chassis?

It is interesting that the blue car in Keiser's pics has fixed wheel rims; unusual for 1914.

I thought the radiator looked Buick-ish but nothing else seemed to match.

I wonder if the touring car picture is reversed. It looks to be from about 1912 or earlier and not many makers had left hand drive by then. The front door looks odd. Maybe the car started with no front door and this is a later addition.

Chevrolet built about 23,000 cabriolets in 1931 and about 27,000 roadsters so there is not a lot of difference in 'exclusivity'. The great majority of total production of more than 600,000 was in the various sedan and coupe styles.

In that era Paige made two model lines. The one that is seen in several pics on the net is the smaller 6-42 which has a 119" wheelbase. There was also a bigger 6-55 on a 127" wheelbase which is probably what the car here is. The girl in the picture is quite young and probably no more than 5' tall. The smaller model used Paige's own engine of about 230 cid but the bigger model used a 300 plus cid Continental. The car here is no later than 1919 but not earlier than 1918. I found this page which suggests that the 1918 and 1919 models were the same - http://www.wcroberts.org/Paige_History/1919_Paige.html - and the car here is most likely a 6-55 sedan. There is another sedan on this page - http://www.svvs.org/help23.shtml

Mine is an early 1916 six cylinder one. The only thing that is hard to pick from the pics here is the depth of the side rail. The 1916 chassis is, at a guess, about 8" deep.

Looks to be a 1941 Limited. I wonder if those bumpers are a factory option. There don't seem to be many around with them. Most have a plainer items. Maybe this should be posted in the pre war Buick section.

Might be teens Buick. I have something very similar in storage like that. Don't have a photo of it and won't be up there where it is stored for a few days unfortunately. The Buicks of that era had a chassis number on a small oval piece of aluminium riveted to the front of the left side rail.

That 'kiwi' pic is an Overland 90 according to this lot - http://www.wokr.org/gallery/o_59.htm - http://www.wokr.org/gallery/gallery1.htm The Knights are here - http://www.wokr.org/gallery/gallery5.htm It would seem that the model with the 'rounded' radiator, like the mystery car here, was only made around 1917 - http://www.wokr.org/gallery/wk_11.htm I am no expert on these but maybe this one - http://www.wokr.org/gallery/wk_175.htm is a regular Overland and not a Knight.

Maybe a circa 1917 Willys-Knight ??? - http://www.wokr.org/gallery/wk_96.htm

The Flaminia engine is a V6 - 60 degrees I think - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Lancia_Flaminia_Coupe_-_V6_engine.jpg - their earlier V6s and V4s were built at various different degree angles; as little as 10 degrees in the Appia

Bill Little was not a GM board member, although he had worked at Buick earlier. All of the Little/Chevrolet history in this era happened independently of GM. The Little was the first car Durant put on the market after he had been ousted from GM. The Little sold quite well initially but wasn't very good. The first Chevrolet Four was more than just a renaming of the Little.

It is a 1914 Studebaker. From the number of hood louvres visible I think it is a six cylinder model. Studebakers had the gas filler mounted on the right side of the cowl this year and sometime in 1915 it was moved to the inside of the car and then to the back of the car for 1917.

Nice to see one with its irons on the right way, unlike these two - http://www.curbsideclassic.com/curbside-classics-american/curbside-classic-1931-buick-96-country-club-coupe-the-eight-as-buick-built-it/#comment-232220 - http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=737024

Coach?? The Standard Catalog lists coach as one of the body styles in the 1927 series 80.

If it is a PD they should both be the same. The PC had some variations.

I had a quick look in The Standard Catalog and it seems that 3636SD was the Style Number used for the Super 88 Holiday Sedan from 1955 thru 1958. Obviously yours is a Canadian one from the data plate (General Motors of Canada).

Some pictures of a Pan here - http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/feature-lots.cfm?SaleCode=FC12&ID=r117&Order=price&feature=&collection=&grouping=&category=Cars - they were only built 1919-1921. Some similarities but not convincing.

This is not a big car. The wheel rims are likely to be 24" or at most 25" diameter. Notice that the engine hood is only about the same length as the rim diameter suggesting it is possibly a four cylinder model. The wheelbase of the car is not much more than four times the rim diameter suggesting around 100-110". BY comparison the Haynes of that time was on a 127" wheelbase and had a big six cylinder engine with the hood half as long again as the rim diameter. The suggestion of the Pan sounds nearer the mark. That had a 108" wheelbase and a four cylinder engine of 3.25" x 5" (166cid).
