Just for clarification the EMF had two brake systems. Internal expanding shoes operated by the hand brake and external contracting operated by the foot pedal.
Thanks for the clarification!

I think the lack of control rods running alongside the steering column rules out the Model 19 Buick. Another very small detail to note in the OP is the support for the front roof bow. It has quite an 'S' curve to it while the Buick's is almost a right angle.
I thought I was very close with a 1909-10 Oakland 40 but it has a louvered hood.
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.

Attached are some photos of a 1909 Buick Model 19. There are only minor differences from the O.P. Note especially the match of the sheet metal cover over the front of the rear spring. I found one photo which had the rear door molding at the very same height as the O.P.
I had also looked at the same pictures you've shown here thinking the OP might be a Model 19 Buick.

1911 EMF, Note the horizontal molding on the rear doors... This unrestored one belongs to Tom Laferriere in Rhode Island...
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.

How about 1910 EMF
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,

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

Somewhere I have seen a picture of Henry Ford in a ten gallon hat brandishing a revolver. It was a "gag" picture taken on one of his camping trips.
A quick search turned this up
Left to right, "Laughing Tom" Edison, Henry "Pistol Pete" Ford, Edward "Bronco Buster" Kingsford. Note "Pistol Pete's" cigarette, Ford hated smoking and never smoked. Kingsford was Ford's son in law and ran the Kingsford charcoal company that made charcoal out of the waste from Ford's lumber mills.
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.

It always amazes me how complicated some people will make changing tires! Sure the first one will take longer than the last one. I put four 30x3 tires on a set of four 1911 Hupmobile rims in under two hours in my bare feet with a rubber hammer, and 3-4 coffee brakes, I was 70 years old at the time.
Bob
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.

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.

Looks Stevens-Duryea to me but haven't found a match.
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.

Here is a 1910 Cadillac closeup of the controls. It has a Toy Tonneau body so the cowl differs from a full touring car body.

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.

Lots of similarities to this 1910 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.

I was under the impression a Sport Coupe and a Cabriolet are one in the same. Now that brings up other questions. Did they use the same swing arm? What are the windshield dimensions of either car? Ultimately that is what I'm trying to ID.
Vincent
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.
