Vintman Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi Folks Had this interesting photo from Australia suggesting the car could be a Panhard & Levassor of about 1928. Not like any P&L I know. Lights and wheels very American. Would much appreciate any input.<O:p</O:p Kind Regards<O:p</O:pVintman (UK)www.svvs.org <O:p</O:pPS Since new format forum, all my posts get returned without being sent with lots of additional chevrons and emoticons, (which I have not put there) and a message saying I have exceeded my quota of photo attachments. When chevrons etc get removed, all goes through fine. What am I doing wrong?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1926pack Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) I can't quite blow up the front hubcap to make it out but it might be a hexagon. If so, the car might be a Packard. But again, I can't make out the front hubcap. If it is a Packard then based on the drum headlights and short hood (er, bonnet), I'd say mid 20s 6 cylinder.

Guest chronosafe Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Awesome pics. This weekend we found some interesting pics in the attic, I really need to get them scanned because there are some really nice mid-20s Fords depicted. Now I just have to get my hands on a scanner...

Grandpa Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The attached image is a 1927 Packard that has a good match to the twin belt-line moldings of the car to ID. My vote is 1927 Packard.Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The attached image is a 1927 Packard, similar to the car to ID, getting its' interior installed at the Packard factory.Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepcak Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I would think of 1925-1927 Buick rather. Packards usually had disc wheel in this period and also the barrel shapped headlamps used on Packards did not have that "explicit" bezel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) It looks like a 1926 Hupmobile model A 6-cyl. Hupp exported a lot of cars to Australia from the teens to the thirties. Look at Hupps for sale on Ebay motors and there is a 1927 Hupp and check out the body lines. The reason I say its a 26 is the square back as Hupp continued that from the 25 Model R 3 dr sedan. Edited July 18, 2009 by Hupp36 Have to add Ebay motors to reply (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) I'm with Pepcak, I think it is a 24, 25 or 26 buick as they had the two lines going down the side of the body in those years. The hood lines look correct and the step plates are in the right places. The only thing that I see different than the American Buick is the rear window is square rather than ovel. But, this also could be an Austrailian, or Canadian built body. Where is Leif, 1920's Buick expert, with his oppinion??? Look around here...http://http://www.prewarbuick.com/index.phpDandy Dave!
