Surely about three years younger than 1925. The oldest car seems to be the Ford Modell T Centerdoor with its oval rear window, made before August 1923.

Interesting chassis design
Casper Friederich replied to 28 Chrysler's topic in Period Photos - Pre WWII
The Dutch importer van Polanen (sounds almost Finnish!) took part in the 1909 Gothenburg-Stockholm Winter Race, probably to get hold on the Swedish market. The weekly magazine Hvar 8:de Dag http://runeberg.org/hvar8dag/10/0312.html thought that it was a very strange looking machine indeed. Eventhough he won, at least the small capacity class, I doubt any Sizaire-Naudins were ever sold new in Sweden. -

Sizaire-Naudin, built in France from about 1905. Single-cylinder engines of upto 1,5-litre capacity, racing models had even more. Sorry, not actually tandem-seating in the first photo, taken at the 1906 Coupe des Voiturettes. Instead the ridning mechanic tries to get a better weight distribution. But the voiturette did in fact have only one pedal controlling both the clutch and the transmission brake BTW the second photo is probably taken at Brooklands track in England Please take a look at the British broschure from 1909-1910 http://carcrank.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/SIZAIRE-NAUDIN-Brochure-1910-132.pdf History: https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com/lost_marques_sizaire.htm -
Adventures in a 490 Chevrolet
Casper Friederich replied to Oregon Desert model 45's topic in Period Photos - Pre WWII
Interesting as Swedish engineer Hörstadius accompanied with a teacher from Denmark that also was a high ranking Boy-Scout leader drove cross USA in a similar Chevrolet 490 Touring at about the same time or more exactly 1922. Hörstadius wrote about the trip in a multipart feature in Svensk Motor Tidning 1924. -

Casper Friederich replied to Leif Holmberg's topic in What is it?
I don't agree on that -
Last row, 2nd from left:1930 Indy car, survives to this Day. Du Pont rann in Le Mans in 1929, first photo and probably also third in the second last row is from this event --. Third row, second photo Model G Speedster by Merrimac. First photo in last row 1924 Du Pont Limousine, the last photo is Mrs. E. Paul du Pont at the wheel of a 1919 Model A http://digital.hagley.org/islandora/object/islandora%3A1979457

Fiat it is, but I am more thinking of 521 made between 1928-31. Since it has disk wheel insted of spoked ones I am leanig towards a late version
-
I think it's a Stoewer R 140 too. Definately smaller than a Horch, also notice the painted radiator in the original photo

What is the circa 1930 sedan in the middle.
Casper Friederich replied to nzcarnerd's topic in What is it?
It' s a 1937-38 Ford 7W. It was never called Anglia, at least here in Europe. In 1939 this (of actually the cheaper 7Y) was replaced by the Anglia with the Bustle as you mention. But both the 7Y and 7W had rear mounted spares, the later one covered. -
1929 Steyr XX with 2-Litre six-cylinder and swing-axle at rear, made in Austria http://www.zuckerfabrik24.de/steyrpuch/steyrXII_1.htm

GM product?

The 490 Chevy has quarter-elliptic springs.

First car in the town of Abie NE - what is it?
Casper Friederich replied to gjf's topic in What is it?
The shorter wheelbase Model K. -
Anyone know what this car was originally?
Casper Friederich replied to TylerB's topic in What is it?
I hate this current rat rod trend. It's really sad that orphan closed cars from the '30s are turned to rods. Restorods would have been more OK, I know it's not worth it with all that body supporting wood. But I would be happy driving a six-cylinder (= non Ford!) mid-'30s sedan than a much later sought-after collector car. -
There was at least one aftermarket speedster body for Model T with exactly that radiator, perhaps it's a Morton & Brett? http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/m/morton_brett/morton_brett.htm

Puch Alpenwagen had still RHD in 1920-22.
-
Not a Steyr, production started with Typ II in 1920 and they were also pioneers of central gear level and parking brake. I myself was more thinking about another Austrian, Puch. But the same problem arises, the Alpenwagen from 1913 seems to have get a V radiator only in 1919 to my knowledge.

Ca. 1924 Star made by Durant, marketed in some countries as Rugby?

Named after General Anthony Wayne (1745-1796) according to an ad from 1908.

Googled Canadian Pacific R.R. station Victoria yesterday and came up with this intriquing photo: https://www.gettyimages.fi/detail/news-photo/canadian-pacific-station-victoria-british-columbia-canada-news-photo/463967315?esource=SEO_GIS_CDN_Redirect#canadian-pacific-station-victoria-british-columbia-canada-c1920s-picture-id463967315 Isn't it the same car in the picture?

This one is labelled Hollywood Boulevard circa 1903
Casper Friederich replied to nzcarnerd's topic in What is it?
Yes, Pope-Toledo very muck like the somewhat smaller tan coloured rear-entrance tourer Gustaf LM Ericsson, son of the Swedish telephone-pioneer, had. That car is included in the by Ny tidning för idrott printed automobile register of Stockholm, dated 1 October 1905. https://digitaltmuseum.se/021016300093/automobil-med-passagerare-utanfor-gustaf-lm-ericssons-automobilfabrik-vid -

I feel that I must comment on that, in 1982 a classmate of mine said that the car of the President of Finland was a Chevrolet! Probably the finest US car he could think of, but after all he had quite recently been transfered from a small village school to my bigger one
