Thanks for the info about the Antique mall. I guess these days people think of the taxi service when they hear "uber" but if you google the meaning it says "denoting an outstanding or supreme example of a particular kind of person or thing". It's something I've heard said many times and always took it to mean "super" or "ultra". Here's a shot of the Dagmar I found.

Early automobiles I've never heard of before despite being on display at the Washington County MD Rural heritage Museum, which is only 2 hours from me. After a little searching it seems that these Uber rare automobiles were produced in Martinsburg, WV (Norwalk Underslung) and Hagerstown, MD (Dagmar, Pope Tribune and Astor). The Astor was made by the MP Moller Motor Car Company. I plan to visit this museum in a couple of weeks and will post photos. Anyone have any information on these obscure companies?

Plus driving an early car with those big clown shoes would be tough.....................!

Cars are like people, right? It's what's on the inside that counts. At least that's what Mom always said. On the other hand another wise person once said "beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes all the way to the bone!".

At $10k I think it'd be a bargain if it was painted in an authentic color. Maybe repainting the fenders black and putting correct running boards on it would go a long way to help the look?

This is a photo of the T that was sold at Auction in Luray last Friday, not at the swap meet. It was advertised as 1915.

Fun thread! We need to do this more often! 😃 Can't wait to see pics.

Nice Nice Nice car!! 👍

Just think of the money Randy will save not having to buy those little Christmas tree air fresheners.

OK, I'm back to this then................

Chrysler was killed but not every division I didn't think.

I had my meltdown yesterday. Get a good nights sleep Rich, you'll feel better in the morning.🙂

As long as entire company configurations are being eliminated so can we eliminate ALL Chrysler configurations? I did a search and saw where a PLYMOUTH PA had been eliminated but perhaps another Plymouth model? Weren't the PC and PD models the sixes of 1933? They would certainly hit all of the clues so far.

I thought about the Whippet six too but don't think it was ever available with 17" wheels. I believe the Whippet was gone a few years before 17s became popular.

Rich, you mentioned a specific Willys-Knight model. I don't see where some of those suggestions were answered, maybe I'm just missing it but a Willys-Knight still might be in play.

This is sort of like working a crossword puzzle and you get to that point where you just flip to the back of the book to see what the answer is. I look forward to seeing the mystery solved but it's going to take a greater mind than mine to come up with the correct answer. 🤪

Ok Ok, not a Dodge Phaeton.......................but a Dodge. 😃

I can't find where Randy ever denied Dodge so I'm going to stay with Dodge until denied. 1933 Dodge Phaeton specifically. I believe this car matches every clue so far.

Rainy day in Luray but it let up around 10:00 or so and most everything got uncovered. Found a few great buys and had opportunity to speak to a lot of friends I haven't seen for awhile. Ran into @trimacarand many others so I had a good time. Bought a stack of 16" 1935 Ford wire wheels because for some reason I can't resist them so I'll add them to the pile in the building. Also found some cool accessories at a great price. Dropped by the auction in Luray where they sold the 1915 Model T at noon for $5000 to a phone bidder. I might have been a player but not after I found out there was no title and the engine in it was from a 20s-something model.

Was any domestic manufacturer using 17" wire wheels after 1934 or '35? None that I can think of so the lack of wood has me believing it's not a GM product. Most every clue given so far would lead me down the path of a Chrysler product from the 1933-34 era. 17" wire wheels. Flathead six, hydraulic brakes on all four corners, not much wood. I think Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge, and DeSoto have all been mentioned and denied? Well, maybe not Dodge. I need to go back and look again.

He says as he tugs on his necktie. Are you related to the late Rodney Dangerfield? No Respect, no respect!

I think Ed's bluffing. I would think with the combined antique auto knowledge on this forum someone would've nailed it by now. I'm a relative newbie to the pre-war world of automobiles and a pretty fast learner but I'm tapped out. Maybe a bunch of you have figured it out already and are just being entertained by me making a fool of myself! 🤪

Flathead six, MAYBE a Continental (Tractor engine LOL)? 17" wire wheels, hydraulic brakes on all four corners. Graham-Paige? Erskine? Peerless (other than 1933)?

That's tempting. How much will it take? 1.75L bottle?
