First, I know nothing about these cars, but according to the internet, there were only two models. Base model and LT model. You could tell the difference by the color of the exterior door handles. Base model had silver handles, LT had black handles. The only other main difference was the engine size and transmission. Built between 1987 and 1994. Looks like Schaumburg splurged and bought the LT... Frank

Maybe, just maybe, two guys were stealing the car a long time ago and were towing it with a chain. A cop came along and the only place they could hide the chain was in the gas tank.😄 Sometimes my imagination gets out of control... Frank

In the late 70's, I owned a 1930 Graham sedan (one of the best drivers I ever had). Sold it around 1985 or so to a pair of young guys who wanted to use it to drive across country. I lost track of it for about 20 years, but came across a very similar, but different color 1930 Graham at a show in eastern Pennsylvania. As i stopped to look at it, I noticed a framed DMV registration from an earlier owner WITH MY NAME ON IT. Needless to say, it brought back memories... Frank

Not sure of the Lincoln V12, but any car I had with the metal conduit, the wires needed to be fed through WITHOUT the connectors. The connectors were added after the wires were installed in the conduit. Frank

I'm going out on a limb here, but the top of the radiator looks flat, like that of a Model T. No front doors: 09-11. Frank

Dave, talk to Jim Eger about a fix. He can do wonders... Frank

EMF. Painted radiator shell is 1912.

From RR picturearchives.net: Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9348, a GS-4 switcher built by General Electric in December of 1948, rated at 390 horsepower, and retired in September of 1966 after just 18 years of revenue service. Frank

Late teens Dodge Bros.? Frank

I love parades, especially when I can use my 28 Ford AA Pumper. I'm a fireman here in Upstate NY and run it as much as I can. Of course, parades as a great deal from our cars and also ask a great deal from my leg that operates the clutch...😆

that looks closer than the Erie...

Your photo is a bit blurry, but it might be an Erie...

They look like early aftermarket motors used to replace faulty vacuum motors. (Think J.C. Witney) Frank

Champion A25 is a replacement plug with pipe thread, used in a bunch of early cars, especially Model T Ford. Autolite 3095, Motocraft F11. Frank

If Studebaker, it could be a 1926. The French roof was introduced at that time, but the side lights are not the same. Maybe Studes going to Australia used different side lights... That out of focus hood ornament might be an Atlanta that came to be used in 27 and 28. Frank

I'd say Graham around 1930.

Spindle and hub might be salvageable, but little else. Frank

Thanks for the offer, but I found a set that I believe match the photo in my Service Bulletins for 1922. Almost a dead ringer. I'll post photos when completed. Frank

My National Service Data indicates they use different starters. The 1929 Standard 6 uses Number 6494 and the 28 Senior Six use number 6404. Unfortunately, the book shows little else. Both are flange mounted and rotate in the same direction. If you have access to one from a 1929, give it a shot... Frank

Dave, sorry for your loss. Just be glad you had him around for 89 years... Frank

From you comments, I obviously don't know that my car runs fine. I do know, after nearly 50 years in this hobby, and countless numbers of cars that I have owned, that my cars move along the road as they should without overheating, flooding, vapor lock, timing knock, etc. While I don't have nearly the experience or the knowledge that you possess, I have enough knowledge to keep me out of trouble, which is all I'm looking for. Frank

I used one on my 1910 EMF and it ran flawlessly. Getting the original brass carburetor running was not going to happen, due to warped brass castings. Since EMF used it's own carburetor, spare parts were made of unobtainium... Sure, it was not original, but it kept one more old car on the road, even if "it’s agreed by most members here, changing carburetors is almost always a bad idea for five hundred good reasons." Frank

1924 Chrysler 70 Touring

1922 Reo T6 Touring. The keyed lock in the center points to 1923.

I was thinking of 1912, since the plate on the car looks like a porcelain one...
