I am only guessing here, but that taillamp looks to me like a standard aftermarket lamp, rather than something used by a specific make.

The marking is almost certainly 286.

My ex-wife would straighten you out on those claims! LOL... I'm just a semi-retired guy who has learned to use a very capable photo-editing application to a decent extent.

Requested photo tweaking...

I actually did tweak your posted photo in that thread and replaced it earlier. Sorry, not much I can do with that one, but will give it another shot... can certainly white-correct it.

I like this image and just for jollies I tweaked it with a photo-editing app.

I agree!

OK, I am convinced. Sorry that I questioned your ID, Grandpa.

Paul55, I wouldn't have thought that based on this picture.

David, If I were a betting man, I'd suggest these are all parts from a top latching arrangement for a roadster or touring car. The small handles probably latched the top down to the windshield. The four similar brackets obviously fitted onto some sort of rod and then bolted to a header of some kind. It would make sense to me that a batch of parts to be rechromed would have come from the same area of the car. Have no idea what car these were fitted to.

Grandpa, thanks for that pic. It is unlike any other 1920 Studebaker coach picture I could locate. Seems during this timeframe, Studebaker made a Light Six, a Special Six, and a Big Six, with only the Light Six using a radiator that looked like the one in your pic (the other two rads were more rounded at the top). And in general, the headlights on the Special and Big Sixes were quite different than the ones shown in your pic. But if I blow up the RH sidelight from your pic (wish the pic was larger/sharper!), here's what I see: Seemingly three panes of glass, which shouldn't be possible if the lamp were square. Also, the OP's lamps only have glass on only two sides (at least that what it looks like to me). I admit this could be a picture problem rendering my assumptions inaccurate. So I remain contrary and, alas, unconvinced... Where's a Studebaker expert when we need one?

Grandpa, I hate to be contrary, but I don't believe those are 1920 Studebaker coach (sedan) lamps. I certainly can't find any pics via search that would confirm that. Heck, I can hardly even find any pics of a 1920 Stude coach. The style of the lamps would indicate earlier than 1920 to me unless they were on something like a hearse.

Nzcarnerd, that was my thinking initially, too. But I don't see any evidence of the kerosene reservoirs that should be there. If these were indeed electric when made, they'd have to be very early ones IMO.

I think Leif has nailed it. That aluminum windhsield base is a perfect match for what the OP shows.

Cowl lamps in the windshield base should eliminate a lot of possibilities, too, I would think.

The tough part of ID'ing this door is the fact that in this era there were dozens, if not hundreds, of small companies building truck bodies for Model T chassis. The simplicity of this door's construction and the common nature of its hardware suggests to me that this was one produced by one of those small builders and that the chances of ID'ing it are going to be pretty slim. The window just sliding in the track is not all that unusual, but is there some evidence of a way to hold it in partially open or fully closed positions?

According to Kimes/Clark, American did did indeed sell non-underslung models.

I don't, as the bottom corners of the radiator shell are much more 'squared-off' on the Dodge than the car in question. And the bumper differs in several ways. Don't know what it is, but the Dodge ID doesn't work for me. I do agree the front fenders make it unlikely this pic was taken as early as 1923, though...

If you were an old car guy, you knew who Tom Hubbard was! You didn't have to be a Franklin guy...

Bob, I am the associate editor of the JCNA's Jaguar Journal, and that marque is what I will be focusing on, by commission from my editor, but I have 64 GB of SD cards for my digital camera, so will likely be taking lots of pics and will try to post some of them here. Thanks for asking. Amelia can be a difficult place for a photographer, as the shadows are so long early (assuming it is not overcast) and once the public is allowed in, the crowds very quickly make taking photos hard, if not impossible. If you want a funny story, I have a customer/friend who lives on the beach road about a quarter of a mile from the Ritz and for several years, she would allow the ex and I to stay with her during Amelia (until her family members usurped us). I would get up well before dawn and drive past the Ritz to the first beach access parking lot and then walk the quarter of a mile back up the beach to the Ritz. Then I'd go through the hotel, enter the show field in the dark and act like I belonged there. (This was when I didn't have media credentials.) I would always have a paid ticket in my pocket and was never challenged. Did this for three or four years. I made the mistake of admitting this to Bill Warner one year when we ran into each other at the Daytona 24 Hours and sure enough, the next year they closed that beach access lot so my subterfuge was no longer possible! There's nothing like being on the Amelia show field in the darkness, watching the sky lighten and the sun come up as the cars enter to populate the grounds. it's the best time to hook up with vehicle owners as well, as after the crowds thicken, they're usually nowhere to be found. Amelia is so special but for me it's a victim of its success. From Atlanta, going and coming and commuting from Kingsland where I stay now because it has become so expensive to stay on the island, it's 20+ hours of travel time for me vs. maybe four-five hours on the show field. This may be my last trip to the show, after perhaps a dozen, as much as I hate for that to be the case.

I have media creds, so you'll see me early. I usually get on the field well before dawn.

I'll be there, Saturday and Sunday, for the first time in about four years.

I was thinking along the same lines.

I came close to being run over by a Doble steamer at the car show one of the first times I attended at Hershey in 1970 or '71, and I wasn't a child then. At 16 or 17, a kid maybe... LOL!
