Another French colonial one - the caption suggests it is an 8 seater steamer and is 12 camel power...

Tunisia circa 1904. From a quick look at google maps the distance from Sousse to Sfax is about 75 miles.

The departure of the King of Spain says the caption. No other information. The identity of the car has eluded most so far. Quite big whatever it is.

Santa Monica, California. Is that a Franklin in the street? Anything else identifiable?

Is a model T for touring,  R is roadster and S is six cylinder

Partly right - According to The Standard Catalog they are three different size cars. Model R - three different roadsters, 30 hp 100" wheelbase, Model T - touring 30 hp 112" wheelbase, Model S 6 cylinder, touring 50 hp `130" wheelbase.

Well Google helped out again,   I found VanPelt Sales in Batavia Ohio sells parts for Borg Warner transmissions for Fords.   

Looks like I have an early T9 with bell housing cast in and a date code of 8-29 it appears.   

Thanks for Viewing.   

Maybe from a Ford AA truck??

People with hats loved 1906 Thomas Flyers. Can't read the sign on the center photo. 

Th3e centre photo is quite low res but I can see on the first line - ???? December 25 '08 and on the last line Vic Hanson and Young Coffy.

[Saw this on the highway]

This early 2004 example found its way to New Zealand when it was only a few months old. Photo taken April '21.

Would this 22 Hudson body style be considered a Coach, Victoria or Special body?

Everything I've seen on it has it labeled as a Coach so I'm trying to understand what the difference from Coach and Victoria are. I thought I knew the difference but am second guessing things now. 

 

 

Seems each car maker used their own terms for body styles - I don't think there were hard and fast rules. Hudson called this one a coach but I would have called it a four passenger coupe. To me a coach would be a square back two door sedan - at least that is what the GM equivalent was. I think to most people a cabriolet should have a convertible top - but my Studebaker cabriolet does not.

The photo of the fire department ladder truck was posted as a 1906 Ariel Simplex in Auckland.  A 1906 U.S. Ariel advertisement says "Look For The Oval Front", and indeed a '06 Ariel had an oval radiator shell.  Is the Ariel Simplex a different manufacturer than the Ariel Company of Bridgeport, Connecticutt?  Perhaps Ariel Simplex is a British manufacturer?  There does not seem to be a cross over of multiple names with the U.S. Simplex and Crane-Simplex.

I did note that the Ariel was made by a company better known for its motorcycles and posted a link to the company history on Graces Guide. The company was based in Selly Oak, Birmingham, UK. The use of the word Simplex was likely started by Mercedes, and others took it up. There were several companies who aped the Mercedes style radiator.    Ariel Motors (1906) - Graces Guide

1936 Studebaker maybe. On the right something 1933-34 - could be Ford or maybe Terraplane.

1931 Buick Series 80 Model 86 four passenger coupe. 124" wheelbase, 344 cid. That largest of the early Buick eights weighs 1100lb fan to clutch. Somewhere buried in my files I have a list of component weights sent to me by Buick back in the 1970s and that is one figure I remember.

I guess if you are going to get out of the car, the middle of an intersection is as good a place as any?

 

I think the car is a 1931 Buick Series 80.

The first motorised fire appliance in the Auckland, New Zealand; a 1906 Ariel Simplex.  Ariel are perhaps better known for their motorcycles but they build cars for a few years, including some quite big stuff.

I think the miner's plate is 1918 Ohio.  Here's another Studebaker, wish I knew the back story.

I have seen other photos of a similarly stripped Studebaker out there somewhere in the mud and snow. I had an idea it may have accompanied the competitors in the New York to Paris race for a while?

 

This is a similar era Studebaker in the 1908 Glidden Tour -

Richard Quinn suggests this is a 1917 Studebaker Series 18 and the plate may be Pennsylvania.

Don't have the foggiest idea what this really is. Found it on a site across the pond..........guessing it's about 1928. Isotta-Fraschini, LaSalle, Elcar? 

The UW series of plates was issued in London, UK, and ran from September to December 1929.

 

The car is a Chrysler 77 -

A big mid 1920s convertible coupe with four wheel brakes and balloon tyres. Don't know what it is though.

Auckland, New Zealand, probably early 1920s. The business is still in existence. A White truck I think.

How often would you see four wire wheel Twin Sixes together? Maybe the location for this photo is somewhere 'colonial?
