Norton4 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Attached are two photos of (I think) the same car from an old family album. There were two children in that family, one born in October, 1913 and the other born in November, 1915. Based on the age of the child in the car (I'm not sure which child in the family it is), I'd guess that the photo was taken no earlier than 1914 and no later than 1917. There is a sign that says "Oakland" in the windshield in one photo. The family lived in Bristol, Virginia, so I assume the photo was taken somewhere in that area.Can anyone help identify the cars? Are they the same car? I would like to include the photos and car information in a family history that I am writing.Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Based on that scalloped section of the cowl under the windsheild, and cowl lights I'd say it was a 1914 Overland. Hood looks long enough to say it may be the six cylinder Model 6-48, the top of the line model that year. The V'd radiator is a great design feature and unique for the time, both photos are the same car IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 The second car looks like a brass Model T FordManuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 It looks like the new Oakland for 1913-14. They had the new pointy silver radiator and some had the big lights on the firewall. There was a new 6 cyl too.Manuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 To me it looks a bit like Premier 1915-1917,the shape of the radiator and those big headlights and even the rounded shape in front of the rear fender against the runningboard.??????

Graham Man Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Paige had a radiator like that also, who had the cowl lights that big? Never see them that large before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 It is a 1914 Oakland 6-48 - no doubt of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Soto Frank Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Both photos are are of the same car, and it looks like there is a big decal that reads "Oakland" at the bottom, center of the winshield.The running boards with the inset edge are unique... never saw that before...
