Cole motor car lover

Anytime thank you for sharing this with the forum truly made my day! And I believe you said this had a golf bag door on the passenger side if so that is another give away to me as they added that in 1922 as standard. I’m gonna watch this movie later this week with my fiancé so I’m very excited to see it in the movie and thank you again for sharing as I would have not known of this movie otherwise! I hope you have a blessed rest of your week:)!

No problem I’m happy to help. If you are ever curious about more accurate history on the Cole motor car company visit http://colemotorcarregistry.com my father and I built the site after acquiring a vast amount of original Cole literature including saved original factory documents although many were lost do to a flood at the factory in the 80s unfortunately but we acquired all this and so many artifacts from the previous man who ran the Cole motor car club of America. My family is also close with the surviving members of the Cole family. Here’s a photo of a 1920 and the badge it would have had. my family also has a 1919 and it’s the same badge as the 20. Unfortunately a lot of information on Cole is quite inaccurate including many books. One of the biggest car books with miss information on the Cole’s is the standard catalog of American cars 1805-1942. As you can probably tell I’m very passionate about the Cole’s sorry if all this info is unneeded and annoying to you I just love talking about the wonderful Cole automobiles.

I don’t think they are Cole but just on the very slight chance they could be for the 3 years Cole used them for I’ll have my dad measure and look at the ones on our Cole’s. Definitely agree with what was said earlier though definitely belongs to a higher end car wouldn’t have been on a cheap car at least I don’t believe.

Unfortunately that is incorrect Cole did not start to use drum headlights and that kind of badge until late 22 through 23

I believe this is a 1923 or late 22 model which would make it a 890 actually. See my profile picture for reference it’s my personal 1923 Cole 2 person sport coupe. Amazing you found this I had only ever known about one other movie from around this time that had a Cole in it so I love this very much! Thank you for making my day. Interesting enough jj Cole had actually payed a bunch of money to have a silent film made to advertise the Cole’s specifically it’s lost to time as far as I know. My dad knows more about the story of the film as him and I run the Cole motor car registry.

Hmmm very interesting. I believe the backend/trunk is actually the best thing to possibly identify this vehicle. I would be inclined to believe it’s a cloverleaf body as well but it’s possible it’s not. Give me a couple days and I’ll see if I can narrow it down for you it’s gonna be tough but not necessarily impossible. Also I doesn’t appear to be a cheap car like a model t but doesn’t appear to be a very expensive car either from what i can see. Cole had a clover leaf body but I think that’s a wider looking car but I’ll look into it. I hope someone can identify this properly if I’m not able.

Most certainly is! Looks like it has a California top as well very nice car and a very rare model.

The standard catalog is an amazing book for info about many makes of cars but unfortunately it also has many errors with some car companies so I wouldn’t necessarily take the book’s writings as exact. I only know this because of what most of of the book say’s about the cole cars is very inaccurate.

Hmmmm very interesting I don’t believe my dad and I are aware of that car we run the registry and have 80 known cars I believe now. I’ll double check but that’s interesting thank you for informing me of that. My car is a 23 Cole coupe but it’s a completely different body style than the one discussed in this topic so I did not post it.

Cole had several variations of this body style throughout the company’s time running. However my favorite are probably the 1920-1922 Cole Victoria coupe although they referred to it as a sport coupe. I’ll post more photos of some of them from the actual time they were made as my dad has access to most of the Cole family photos/archives. I love coupes some of my favorites! I believe only one 1920 Cole coupe survives today.

Couldn’t agree more with you!!!!!

Yes you’re correct. it is the exact same on my dads 13 Cole. I was just able to verify by looking recently if my dad has a photo I’ll post it but I am now 99.9% sure this is a Cole.

Also cole was very big on advertising the car for woman especially the series nine touring car. Infact the first licensed woman to drive in the state of indiana drove a Cole series nine. This is a very amazing photo thank you for sharing and I’m thankful I was able to help. I obviously love the cole motor car company 😂.

I’m possibly wrong as several car companies had similar types of bodies that year and it’s hard to tell from what we can see unfortunately not to many distinguishing features. However the way the cowl is it reminds me honestly of a 1913/14 cole or Cadillac. Again I’m not positive and I could be way off but it does have some similarities but like I said a few companies had body’s like that at the time. If it was a cole it was have been a series ten and not a Series nine since it appears it doesn’t have the cowl lights coke removed the for the series ten models. I’m sure someone will get it exact but rn that’s my best guess so far I will keep digging through my car book for all the car companies .

I could be way off and I’m gonna keep searching but something that kinda reminded me of this car is the ace car built in Ypsilanti Michigan from 1920-22 so if this photo is for sure from 1918 than it’s not this car brand but I thought it was interesting enough to share.
