Grandpa Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Photo taken in Southern California in 1926. What is the ID of the luxury car shown? Note the through the windshield spotlight and the interesting after market radiator mascot.Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Maybe about a 1915 Locomobile by the look of that radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 The photo was taken in San Francisco, not Southern California. I noticed that there is a plate, below the license plate, that states "San Francisco".Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrbartlett Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Note that the Locomobile looks like the winner in a collision with an early truck. That's saying something about the car's toughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Looks like the car just got across the tracks of the street car, did not notice that the truck was passing the streetcar and WHAM!! You just gotta wonder where the truck driver ended up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 The attached image is a 1925 Locomobile 48. The car is very similar to the one in the collision photo.Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I wonder what the truck is, It has a very unusual 5 spoke steering wheel, and an under mounted engine. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
