  1. Flushing, Queens, 1922. Facebook Another White car?
  2. After quite a of deliberation it has been decided the car is a Belgian Pipe 50hp from circa 1906. - SVVS Web Assistance with Classic, Vintage and Veteran Cars
  3. The information with this one says it is a New York Times photo from Brazil in 1926. If the date is 1926 then the car is likely to be about ten or more years old there. I haven't yet identified the car but the ten spoke front wheels and the manner of the hub bolts etc on the rear have to be clues.
  4. 1935 Chev Master behind the Buick.
  5. Dodge with accessory wheels that I can never remember the name of.
  6. That plate is a London (UK) registration from 1906. I am still working on the identity of the car.
  7. The info with this one says - "It's movie making time in Fillmore, California in 1924, and the young Cowboy Star Tom Mix had traded his horse for a Stutz Phaeton. The man on the motorcycle is the real town Marshall." I have an idea it is a publicity shot rather than part of the movie.
  8. It is a circa 1914 Willys-Overland, an adaptation of the front half of an Overland car with a truck rear half, designed by Gramm. Gramm-Bernstein Company - Wikipedia I knew the guy who restored this one, now in the Richardson collection in Invercargill, New Zealand. Some ads here - This one was in Geelong, Australia - Some more detailed information from the UK publication Commercial Motor in 1914 - A One-ton Chain-driven "Truck." | 12th February 1914 | The Commercial Motor Archive I tidied the original photo a little -
  9. Your roadster photo shows the bottom edges of the louvres are 'level' where the louvres on the mystery car appear to follow the line of the fender. Also the Chryslers used 18" wheels - I think the CJ was an exception using 19s. Our mystery car looks to be on 20s.
  10. Yes, that photo of the Aerocar hauling the plane has appeared several times on various Facebook pages.
  11. I think a lower price Mopar - it is on the larger size wheels rather than the 18s that the mid/upper price ones used. Can't find a match for the hood louvres yet.
  12. The Buick is a '39 - the first year with the headlights partially let into the fenders.
  13. Varun identified this one - presumably from another source (which I didn't record) in August 2021 -
  14. A photo posted on a facebook page - "Can anyone identify the car in this old thermometer advertisement? I recently got it at an auction. Thanks"
  15. 1927 Studebaker Model EU Standard Six. Those expandable running board racks are very useful for carrying an extra can of gas. Low res photographer's proof shot of my son driving my 1929 Studebaker GE in an event in June '23.
  16. This photo from an event in Ohio in 1973 was on a facebook page. I was curious about the sedan behind the White touring with the hardtop. Maybe someone knows about that hard top as well?
  17. The Series 40 hubcaps are quite different to the larger series ones. I think these are not 40 Series.
  18. Not as interesting architecturally as some, this was shot in Christchurch, New Zealand, about 1909. The cars are Wolseley-Siddeleys.
  19. Yes, that white post was the marker for the left side of the course. The event is a trial based on the system run by the VSCC in the UK although with local variations. The idea is to get as far though each course as possible without stopping. There are numbered markers and the last one you pass is your score. Where the UK event travels to several properties our one is run one just one farm, which means we can run cars which are not road legal. Most of the competing vehicles are much modified small English cars - Austin 7s and Ford 10s. We run the Pontiac just for fun. It is mechanically completely stock - engine never rebuilt as far as I can work out - although it is getting quite tired. The engine has never been out of the chassis and the engine and gearbox have never been separated. It did break an axle a few years ago and while fixing it discover the axle that broke was an old time replacement and had a longitudinal crack in it. We also discovered the car had 3.82:1 Chevrolet rear end gears instead of the original Pontiac 4.10:1 gears. The event is usually run in July - our winter - and most years it is not too wet but in 2023 it was so wet we didn't bother going. The last photo was taken while packing up after the 2022 event. We first got the car running in 2011, when my two sons were still at school, and I did the driving but after a few years I let them take over the driving. Both sons learnt to handle a crash gearbox on that car - see photos. There was thought that one day the Pontiac might b come a street legal speedster but there are too many projects in the queue in front of it so it will remain as it is for now. The Pontiac makes a couple of appearances in this video -
  20. Mystery badge on the radiator. Rhineland registration plate.
  21. IMCDb.org: unknown in "The Evictors, 1979" IMCDb.org: "The Evictors, 1979": cars, bikes, trucks and other vehicles
  22. This '37 President Superior has been in NZ since new according to the funeral director's website - The Vehicles - Dempsey & Forrest Funeral Directors - Whanganui (dempseyandforrest.co.nz) I have no personal knowledge of the car.
  23. Maybe an ohv Northway six, as used by Oakland, Oldsmobile and Scripps-Booth.
