The Fredrick Lewis Packard with his estate in the background in Ridgefield, Ct. I'm guessing it is a twin six. His Grandfather founded what is CitiBank today. With a 15 car carriage house and three chauffeurs you can only guess what they had, in 1919 I know they had two Rolls Royce, and two Brewsters

Earlier than 1919 I think.

One of the very first CGV cars I think - 1902. Interesting tonneau where the passengers sat facing each other.   Charron, Girardot et Voigt - Wikipedia

Having seen the identical car in person.......the photo is much more appealing than the actual car.......very vertically challenged, and rather awkward with the top up.

By vertically challenged do you mean it is short or tall. To me, and in many online references, vertically challenged is a pseudo politically correct term for not very tall - ie short. Think Danny de Vito.

 

In a similar vein my later grandmother was born in the East End of London in 1899 and whenever she saw a very tall man would say - "he's tall for his height isn't he".

Two things are interesting about this photo.  First, for the time period of the car the women's hats do not seem to be of the same era.  Especially so for the the woman looking at the camera as her hat is quite plain, spartan, and looking more like a hat style that a man would wear.  Perhaps the author of the photo chose to minimize the hats to emphasize the automobile qualities.  Second, the weather tightness of the three body seals could be problematic.  As the roof panel on top and the rear folded down panel is elevated there are three surfaces that need to seal against wind and rain.  There does not appear to be any welting or compressible weather seal at the joints.

 

Is the car a Packard or Locomobile?

Packard - no doubt - hood shape and instruments on column.

On the subject of Studebaker cabriolets a shot of this one came up on another page. From a 1934 French movie - IMCDb.org: 1933 Studebaker President Convertible Sedan [Model 82] in "Mauvaise graine, 1934"

The Selwyn River, a few miles south of Christchurch, New Zealand, in 1925. Any thought on what the car with the plate 62-412 might be? 

 

Btw those plates are the first year of the new 'national' series of plates. These were made in California but subsequent years' plates were made in NZ. The intention was for them to be available for issue from ! Jan but they were late arriving and so the registration year became mid-year to mid-year and remained that way until the system was computerised in the 1990s. new plates were issued every year until WW2, then every five years until the new system of permanent plates began in 1964.

 

 

 

 

 

I wondered if the mystery car might have been a Scripps-Booth - like the one in this photo - but maybe not -

This one may have been posted before. Caption says "5th Ave Easter '13". Anything identifiable? The car with plate 30191 looks to be an electric - maybe?

Perhaps that is Will Rogers wearing the chaps.

 

Went back to where I found the photo. The other guy is Lou Gehrig. He died of motor neuron disease in 1941. Several reference on the net. Maybe he was the first 'celebrity' to die from it?

A 1908 photo from New Zealand. Not sure about the car - maybe a Darracq?

 

Note the unusual lamps.

The caption with this one says Babe is sitting on a Jeep. That is unlikely. I think the car might be a circa 1927 Moon.

 

[Is this an american car?]

It looks like a 1935 Hupmobile, with modifications.

Looks like a 15 or 16 Oldsmobile.  ?  Two running boards and a driver's side door against the two levers.  Not sure I understand what is going on with that engineered design.  But as Wall mentioned, it is pretty cool.

 

Looks to have gas lights which made me think of the earlier date. It may actually be a 1912 Autocrat as I can't find any evidence of double running boards after 1912.  As far as I can work out the ad with the red and green cars is from 1912.

This one is for sale in NZ for NZ$100k. At the current exchange rate that is US$69k.  Important to remember though that price includes 15% GST.

Out of curiosity I tried to work out where in Nottingham this is. St Peters Church can be seen in the background. I think the are where this photo was taken has been redeveloped and is now part of the local university. (As an aside, in a similar manner, the area where the house where my forebears lived in in Lincoln, UK, has been swallowed up by the local university.)

This is an interesting photo.  The dairy driver/delivery man appears to be ex-military.  His military belt buckle is worn in true G.I. style, exactly as we had to wear them (Army).  Note the buckle has two rounded edges, with the left edge (right as we see it) exactly in line with the brass metal tab of the end of the woven belt.  It is nice to see that he kept his brass polished.

 

He didn't take the time to polish his shoes though. Nowadays he would be looking at his phone every spare minute. I guess back then a spare moment might be spent cleaning the truck?

It was described as British

That being the case it is likely the chassis was actually built in the Manchester (UK) Ford factory. I don't know enough of the UK Ford history to know whether they were casting their own blocks and forming their own chassis or not.

Unusual Ford conversion

 

TT truck. Location Australia?? Probably arrived from Canada as a bare chassis with just the engine hood and fenders.

City of Monrovia Fire Dept (California). Apparently a Seagrave.  The driving position looks awkward.

There has been discussion somewhere on this forum about White trucks recently - can't recall where.  This photo was posted a short time ago on a French fb page.  No info on the photo origin though, or year and model.
