My thoughts exactly. Have been to county history museums that have agricultural machinery and items such as the above as well as yesterdays domestic items on display.

X2. To add to nzcarnerd's post, Ford used S.A.E. horsepower rating of 24.03 in the specifications page of the Model A Instruction Book. The brake horsepower was closer to 40. The calculated horsepower rating was used at some point in the U.S. Thanks to nzcarnerd's link to Tax horsepower, apparently Missouri still uses taxable horsepower charts. Below from Instruction No. 83 of Dyke's Automobile and Gasoline Engine Encyclopedia (1931) "N.A.C.C. formula is used by all leading manufacturers and by the license offices in different cities. It represents a comparative horsepower rating for automobiles that is used for taxation and similar purposes."

Found two examples of similar Waltham Hudson 8 day automobile clocks mounted on the panel just above the instrument panel and below the windshield.

Fenders along with the lack of the typical running board and step plate treatment seems stylish for 1922. Continental engine?

The movement will have a serial number on the back plate. This will tell you the model and year. Link to serial no. lookup. https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/search In the case of my Waltham 8 day automobile clock. Serial no. 22492227 dates it to 1918.

Incredibly, I have this same exact fan. Bought it at Chickasha Pre-War Swap meet in 2023. I thought it was unique and bought it for a wall hanger. The individual I brought it from said his dad owned several old cars and parts of this era in Oklahoma. He didn't know what it was off of nor do I. Would be interesting to know which make it is for. When I saw your pictures, I thought wow, I think I have a fan assembly exactly like that and that number seems familiar. Thanks for posting.

Back in the '70's growing up in the farm country of southern Idaho, someone had turned one of these big 1929 Buick sedans into a pickup. They actually did a pretty good job with the conversion. It was parked on a residential street and one time I got up the gumption to knock on the door and ask if it was for sale. Of course, it was not for sale. I continued to see that 1929 Buick pickup occasionally driving around for a few years after that. Don't know whatever became of it.

Yes, shorpy info say's circa 1920 Cole Aero 8 Roadster. I posted this picture to illustrate that large high quality photos via the glass plate negative process were available back in the day.

Glass plate negatives were large format and very high quality. Perhaps one of our photo experts could chime in regarding the glass plate process and the difference between the shorpy photo below and the 1914 Chevy photo the OP posted. Inquiring mind would like to know how to spot the differences. Example of 1920's glass negative below from shorpy. https://www.shorpy.com/node/21379?size=_original

Thank you Cole motor car lover for replying to this thread and clarifying details about this car as well as the link to the registry and other information regarding Cole Motor Car Company. Learning about these lesser known historically significant makes is interesting and fun. As you pointed out, I found the information on Cole in the "Standard Catalog" incomplete and no help in solving the identity of this car. Below is a drivers side picture from The Boob.

There is a lively discussion on the MTFCA Off Topic forum on this car. The headlights are missing the lower "parking lights" or lower light housing on the underside of the headlamps typical for Cole at this time. Is though to be a Series 870 or 871 Roadster. It does have the "golf club door" on the passenger side. https://www.mtfca.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=42172

Thanks Wayne. It certainly had me stumped. They ended up running this car through a fence and then crash into the side of a building. The first thing to go was that wonderful motometer. Seems a shame for such a quality car. Of course back in 1926 it was just another old used car.

While watching TCM silent Sunday movie last night, saw this 1920's roadster I could not identify.

Impressive. 👍 By the looks of the two feet on the bottom of the headlamps, looks like they can be removed and used as backup lighting.

As for running a klaxon on higher voltages, those who run their 6 volt Model A Ford Sparton horns on 12 volts makes them sound terrible. The sound is more of a higher pitched screech than a proper Ahooogahh. In my case, I experimented with a resistor and was disappointed with the results. In the end, I ended up buying a horn wound for 12 volts as per Bloo's suggestion.

Wells is located at the junction of I-80 and US highway 93. Been through there many times. And as stated previously is in the "middle of nowhere."

The gray touring was a 1910 Overland. The owner drove it up and back 75 miles (one way) from Lawton Ok. It was not for sale. Had been in his family for some time. As a side note, I saw quite a few Buick hubcaps. Enjoyed the swap meet. Too bad it is the last one.

Ford advertised speeds to 65 MPH.

Coupe.

The "Reply" tab works for me in the Craigslist ad.

It's a 1928 Chevy.

At the time I posted the Craigslist ad, the link was active. Apparently it was taken down the same day I posted the link. Either it was sold or removed from Craigslist for other reasons.

Stewart Speedometer was not a standard item furnished by Ford for that time 0-75 markings were common on these old speedos. I doubt the pedal pads are original. Reproductions are readily available. Wheel color not correct. Looks to me like an older restoration attempt.

Look on the left dash just under the steering wheel. A box for the turn signal switch. Looks like a Logo Lites setup.
