Rick0matic Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Here are two pics of my grandfather's cars. Can anyone help ID them?first: My mother and her father in the front seat, photo dated May 1928. The only possible clues are that Grampa had a Pierce Arrow (year unknown) at one time and he also had a 1920-22 Velie 48. I don't think this car is either but I couldn't say for sure.:second: My father with his father's car in the background, circa 1929:Any help at all will be appreciated.

keiser31 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That first car looks a lot like a 1924 Maxwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick0matic Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thanx West. Wyatt and I had dinner the other night, he was in the neighborhood with the Rollson. We had Viet Namese and my daughter kept us entertained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick0matic Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 It's not a '24 Maxwell - the bottom of the windshield is straight across on that Maxwell, also, the moldings aren't right. I thought it might be a Studebaker, but research said no. Maybe a '27-28 Oakland? I googled a pic of 1925-27 Pierce 80 sedans and they look right, can anyone confirm?

Rick0matic Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Wow, Bob, that does look exactly like my paternal grampa's car, but I always thought his car was a sedan. Looking closer, I am still not sure, but I guess it could be a touring car. Thanx, Bob, for solving this mystery. Is there a way to pinpoint the exact year or am I asking too much?
