I hope not! I'm not ready and neither is the world ready for just EVs.

Thanks for the clarification!

Peter, I think you are correct with 1909 Oakland. The first picture below shows all of the correct details that match the OP: fenders, radiator, hood, rear doors, etc. The second picture shows a different Oakland touring, but with the control rod attached to the steering column as in the OP.

I had also looked at the same pictures you've shown here thinking the OP might be a Model 19 Buick.

I do agree the molding on the upper part of the rear door is similar. However, there are still, in my view, several details on the EMF pictured above that are different from the OP. For example, he rear door where it meets the rear fender, the shape of the bottom of the rear door, the hood hinge, the bead on the upper part of the hood, the steering column, etc. are all different . Also, the OP shows external contracting brakes and the EMF looks to have internal expanding brakes. Just my opinion. I may be wrong.

That was one of my thoughts too, but I don't think the fenders, rear doors or other details match. There is a script on the top tank of the radiator in the OP, but I can't make it out.

I don't believe it is a Stearns because the "White Line" around the radiator was much more prominent as in the photo below and the radiator had a rounded shape to the top. Plus, the Stearns was chain drive and this car does not appear to be.

I think it is earlier than 1912 since it doesn't have doors, maybe 1909 or 1910.

Thanks for your reply 19tom40. I checked Classtique's website and they only list Model T and A upholstery. Thanks, Dan

My friend is restoring a 1939 Standard Coupe. He was planning to buy an upholstery kit from Cartouche, but found out yesterday that they are now out of business. Is there another supplier for upholstery kits for these cars? Thanks, Dan

E.G. Kingsford was a cousin-in-law to Henry Ford. Since Ford only had one child, Edsel, he did not have a son-in-law.

The car runs along quite well with the spark and gas both completely retarded!

The two on the left are Pierce Arrows, then a Peerless and then a Model T.

I believe the cars with the bright radiator shells are Grant automobiles. However, the car at the very far left end is an Oakland. Notice that the headlights are mounted lower than the other cars with the bright radiator shells. Notice too the difference in the Grant and Oakland radiator shells. Also, the Oakland has a lower stance.

Were these tires / wheels with lock rings or clincher tires?

I agree, the Model 20 Hudson is a great looking car!

David, you may be right. My comment was based on knowing a prior owner of this car and he had it listed in the HCCA roster as a 1909 Model 20. Dan

I'm bringing several interior trim pieces for a 28-29 Model A Tudor Sedan. Garnish molding, trim around the rear windows, dash rail, windshield garnish moldings and some other Model A parts.

1909 I believe.

My first thought was Stevens Duryea, but I don't think the SD had the louvers under the seat. The SD did have the front seating area.

Another tidbit, in the original picture, the spark and gas controls are not located above the steering wheel as they are in the Cadillac photos. It still makes me think it is something other than a Cadillac.

I don't know what kind of car it is, but I'm thinking something other than a Cadillac. The mystery picture shows the rear door with a horizontal trim piece that is not shown on the smooth door in the Cadillac photo. Also, the door handle is located lower on the door than on the Cadillac. The firewall on the Cadillac has a rounded "hump" with the corresponding shape on the windshield filler board. The photo of the mystery car shows a horizontal line on the bottom of the filler board that intersects with the hood former. Attached is a different photo angle of a 1910 Cadillac.

I don't like it either when a topic I have contributed to is deleted. I don't understand why the administrators can't just delete the offensive post(s) and not delete the entire thread. Is it a limitation of the software? Lots of good information has been lost due to the deletion of an entire thread.

A Sport Coupe typically does not have a convertible top, but a rigid top. A Cabriolet has a convertible top and roll up windows, as opposed to a Roadster that has a convertible top and no windows, but side curtains.

Fiat?
