Just Googled Lucas distributor - http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/ignition/ig126.htm and as Manuel said it fits some Ford V8s used in British vehicles.

It is a 1930 Oldsmobile. The front bumper is from something else from at least 1936 or later.

The Flanders was quite a small car with a small engine (155 cid) and lightly built. I have no direct personal experience with them but something that was cheap when it was new is unlikely to be worth as much as something from the same era which was more expensive. I see in the link the car sold in 2006 for $34,000. I doubt it would fetch that today. If the car in question is all there and in good original order just put it together and use it.

One of the Christie front wheel drive racing cars. http://theoldmotor.com/?s=christie

Just found this one - http://forums.aaca.org/f151/1957-seville-294477.html

According to The Standard Catalog the engine and frame numbers should be the same. The serial number should be on the left door pillar (inside the car). The engine number should be on the front of the block. There should also be a frame number on the right side of the chassis just behind the engine mount.

A quick Google search found the Aalholm collection is in Denmark. The conversion at current rates gives just a little over US$28.000.

Could be a circa 1919 Dodge. - http://www.flickriver.com/photos/dberry/3537438985/ Window shapes and fender edges match. This one is listed as 1920 - http://tenwheel.com/imgs/a/a/z/s/l/1920_dodge_sedan_1_lgw.jpg and has different mouldings so I guess 1919 or earlier??

1914 Oakland 6-48 or Light Six Speedster. A one year only model with a 3 1/2 x 5 six. It became the 6-49 for 1915 then was dropped. I have no idea what the engine was though but I guess a side valve unit like its fours. A similar body was used on the four cylinder speedster model in 1915.

Looks as if it might be an FB series President.

Am I right in saying that there was a gradual change around this time from the seven main bearing engines to the four bearing six cylinder engines which might explain the different distributor positions?

Number 2 is not a Marquette, It doesn't have the distinctive herringbone pattern on the radiator. I can't match it to anything American and I am beginning to think it might be something from one of the European makers who went through an "American" styling period for a few years.

Whatever the car on the right is it is something bigger and much more expensive the one on the left. Maybe some research on cars built in St Louis?

This car is not a tourer, it is a sedan. The 5 14 8 is 14 May 1928 casting date.

Statusman, start a new thread and post some pictures including the various numbers; engine and chassis numbers, casting date numbers etc. If your car is stripped down there should be a chassis number stamped at the far rear left corner of the chassis - only visible when the body is removed.

1909 Overland double bucket roadster. http://digitalpostercollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1909-Overland-Model-30-Double-Bucket-Roadster.jpg

No, not me.

And this one is a V8 as per the emblem on the side mount spare wheel hub cap.

Yes that is a 1927 Lincoln sedan at the front so no earlier than that - http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2744/5739732641_a8ea1e7766.jpg

I was just doing some research on Marmons and found this one which looks to have a very similar wheel. There may be others which used the same wheel of course but about 1929 was my first thought when I looked at it.

If you have not already done so try reposting this in the 'what is it' section.

It would help to find a picture of 1922 engine to confirm that.

The figure I quoted earlier was from The Standard Catalog. This source - http://www.buickclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/bca_judging_manual.pdf - the BCA judging manual, gives 1412093 as the first 1926 Master serial number which would put your car somewhere in the early part of the year's output. Have you found your casting date?

The first Master serial number for 1926 is 1426599. I guess the engine number will be very close to that. Your number is certainly quite early probably in the first month of production. There should be a casting date on the block which I would guess at mid 1925 sometime? I don't know how long they matured the block castings for. The only car I have which I know those dates for is a 1965 Pontiac. The block was cast in late July 1964 (where was the foundry??) and the car was assembled in California in the first week of September 1964.
