The cowl light say it is a Whippet - 1928. From the many pics of these on the net without them I guess they must have been an option.
-
Looks like a Regal Underslung from around 1911-13.
-
Maybe it is a Herreschoff - 1909 was their first year. Wheelbase was 100 inches which would about match this car.
-
Hupmobile didn't do anything other than a runabout until 1911. They were a very light car on an 86" wb. This car looks to be a lttle bigger than that. Hup did not use a tube front axle.
-
I am fairly sure that 1929 was the only year that this style of Buick insignia was used. There was a similar item on this forum some weeks ago.
-
I checked with a local CDO owner and he agrees 1902 or 1903. They could be had with wire wheels or wood wheels.
-
Here is a 1921 Haynes - http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1164/677232264_a47c84b1a4.jpg?v=0 - the radiator shape doesn't match.

Disappointing as many people find it, the engine size of many old cars simply wasn't very big, really only the same as more modern stuff. The Stephens engine was actually a little over 4 litres, comparable with the comtemporary Buick and just a few cubic inches smaller than the Model A Duesenberg, although not in the same league power- or dollar-wise. Only a small number of makes had engines bigger than 6 litres. I agree that this car is probably not a Stephens, but it does look similar - even down the shape of the radiator badge. I knew someone who restored one of these about 30 years ago - I think the car is now in a museum in Europe. Hopefully someone more expert than us can maybe identify this car from the lights or something.

I just checked my spare 1929 Plymouth lens which is a TWOLITE. It is 9 7/16 x 8 1/2 so I suspect that this light is from a smaller cheaper car, rather than a large one, so maybe Essex is right?
-
The mystery car appears to have a square badge which is why I suggested Stephens. Here is a Simplex Crane. Note the triangular badge. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_r3NNtlb8tB8/SN3U6xkbKQI/AAAAAAAAB0E/X0LAW5qZ48U/1917+Simplex+Crane+Model+5+Brewster+Touring-1c.JPG. And another one http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1272/874345878_cbac8a82e4.jpg?v=0

Maybe a circa 1918 Chalmers? The one in this link is 1920 but the mystery car is obviously earlier. http://files.conceptcarz.com/img/Chalmers/20-Chalmers_Mdl_35C_DV-07-RMH_04.jpg
-
It is a Locomobile.
-
Maybe a Stephens Salient Six?
-
I agree with Willys-Knight 1917-18.
-
I am fairly sure that 1929 was the only year that this style of insignia was used.
-
The heavy duty wheels would maybe suggest some kind of commercial vehicle. Maybe it is one of Federal/Stewart/Republic and a whole bunch of other makes. The bullet shape headlights say it is probably about 1927-8.
-
Could someone organise a close-up of the rear wheel hubcap? That might help. Almost looks like a Hudson triangle.
-
It is a 1905 Packard car on a 1905 Packard truck. Thanks to Tim from packardsonline. http://mmm.lib.msu.edu:80/search/imagedisplay.cfm?i=EB01c091
-
I am beginning to think that the car in the upper pic is not actually a Packard. Too many things aren't right.
-
I think the Packard car might be as early as 1905. I don't think the truck is a Packard.
-
Looks to be a 30CV model OO from very early in the 1920s. Unusual body style which has a space at the back for a disappearing top. This type of disappearing top also appeared on the early Austin 20hp models from about 1920 like this one. http://www.roediger.co.za/austin/g20_1.htm
This link is to a similar model Minerva but with a more conventional body. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1921_Minerva_OO_30_CV_tourer_by_Vanden_Plas_fl3q.JPG

We had a good look at one of these a few months ago. Note in the link shown there is a link back to this site.
-
I am fairly sure the car at the left in the first pic is a 1906 Packard. The 1905 models had the rear door opening the other way. It is interesting though that the sharp edge usually seen on the Packard radiator is absent - maybe an optical illusion? On the right is a 1905 Pope-Toledo - looks a reasonably big car so could be their 45hp Model IX.

Still working on the car in the lower pic.
-
The pic is a bit small but it might be a Reo Speedwagon like this one http://www.yesterdaystruck.com/trphotos/a955.jpg I guess the date is either side of 1920.
Fire Chief's car-circa 1910-What is it?
in What is it?

With those big plowshare front fenders it could be somewhat earlier - maybe 1906-7. Not sure what it is though.
