Stolen from the old photo thread on the HAMB

I worked out how to tell which was which of the early Fords.  The Model R has Running boards.  The Model N has No running boards. The Model S has Short running boards

 

"The Ford Model S was a composite of the Models N and R. The Model R had used the engine and chassis of the hot-selling Model N, but added running boards, a wider body, and larger wheels. When Ford ran out of Model R bodies and wheels the company put the new running boards on the Model N and called it the Model S."

Any identification of the European coachbuilder?  Very Teutonic in design ethic.   Does the coachbuilder plate give any clue? Definitely a 1934 Nash Ambassador Eight Series 1290, either a 133" or 142" wheelbase.

I had hoped some thing about this car might turn up on this website. So far drawn a blank. I might have to trawl through the various Euro coachbuilders  - there were lots of them - to find that badge.

1930 Chrysler Model 77.

Could also be a Model 70. Apparently only the first part of the year's production used that style before they reverted to the more conventional type. I wonder if people were 'put off' by them as being too 'odd' or if they caused overheating in hotter climates . Introduction date was July 1929 so I guess maybe it was only the cars built in 1929 that had them?

I guess the car is American but I don't recognise the logo on the hubcaps.

Or the preceding Model 20?

Need to look under the hood at the id plate.

[1920 Buick Northway engine. Cam gear specs wanted]

Are you referring to the small (177cid) overhead valve six with exposed rocker gear? I know it mainly used by Oakland and also for a few years by Oldsmobile and Scripps-Booth. Not sure that Buick used it.

Posted by Keith Raedel on a facebook page. His grandmother washing her dad's car.

 

I can't pick the make but it has full floating rear axles and looks to have a gap in the hood louvres. 

 

Other features - the paired pads on the top rail of the body, the three piece rear window, and the carrier bracket for the top when folded.

Very early Paige-Detroits had a transverse rear spring.

Coincidentally Al Donze posted these on a facebook page of a 1914 Locomobile at a show in Ohio recently -

Any ideas what it is? Photo taken in London, Ontario.

At first glance I thought the car might be a Stutz but it has the wrong number of hood louvres and the rear hubs don't match.

One I have not seen before. No info other than what is on the photo. Note the rotary engine. Maybe the steering wheel is on the other side?

 

I found some more on this one. Seems it was built by Emile Dewoitine, who went into aircraft manufacture in 1920, during his time with the French military, in 1913, in the Biskra area of Algeria. No information on how successful it was or its fate.

 

Production - From Dewoitine to AIRBUS (aerotheque.com)

Yes, Rotary as distinct from radial.

I did wonder if there was a connection to the Shanghai Horse Bazaar and Motor Co but maybe not -

Portland, Oregon, presumably 1937. An interesting mix of vehicles. The circa 1929 car at far left - Reo maybe? Looks to be a 1936 Plymouth PT with the van body? Behind the Graham is a 'step roof' Dodge. The truck in the middle I don't recognise but I see a 1935-36 Ford behind it. Also an Airflow and a junior Packard.

The cars are pre WW2 but the the pic might be just post WW2. Does anyone recognise the venue?

 

I am thinking maybe Kissel for the closest one and Stutz for the dark colour one next to it.

 

[Period images to relieve some of the stress]

German actor Conrad Veidt. From a read of his wiki page he was an interesting character who led a very full life until his death at just 50.

 

Whether the car is identifiable I don't know. The manner in which the leather seats are formed, and the centre divider, may be clues.

My RHD 75 has a golf door on the right same as 31 LaSalle’s but rumble steps on the left. Original Locke body.

Which confirms my theory that usually because of the small number of right hand drive examples built the factory did not do a special left side golf bag door body. It is easy enough to swap the rumble seat step plates around though.

HI nzcarnerd

thanks for the input into my post. all information and opinions are greatly received

car defiantly has never been a sedan. as to your thought on position of golf door and rumble seat steps that's a good point

it is something that I will look into

love your car I enclose a picture of my car taken in 2002 at the start of restoration and one showing rumble seat

So the origins of your car's body remain a mystery. There are and have been any number of coachbuilders working all over the world  - most medium sized towns had at least one - and if they have not left their mark on this one finding its history may prove impossible.

3 1/2 Litre.  Yes, I checked out Newman Brothers, but didn't find any reference to them owning/driving Jaguars.  CCCA member Michael Taylor (from your neck of the woods,) has been helping me research it and spreading info about it around.

Yes, I was a little surprised they would have a Jaguar as most of their commercial vehicles were American.

This photo of my Studebaker was from when it was advertised for sale and I think shows its derriere to good advantage. 

 

One feature it reminds me of is the rumble seat steps, which on a right hand drive car should be on the left side. Does the Chrysler have them? Or perhaps it has no rumble seat - sorry 'dickie' seat - 😁

 

The Stude should have a rumble seat but it has not been fitted. I prefer it without as the trunk space is limited.
