nzcarnerd Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I don't know yet what this is but I reckon it dates from around 1916-17. The only really differing feature is the portholes in the rear quarters of the top. There has been comment lately about the double white wall tyres on some of the cars of this era. This was about the time that they started to produce black tyres by adding carbon into the mix. I wonder if these white walls are actually 'not much black' tyres. In other words maybe they only added the black to the tread area of the mould so that most of the tyre still came out white - as most tyres were at that time.

keiser31 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 That white shield looking radiator emblem sort of looks like a "Gray" emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Haynes ? I think the emblem looks more like a Haynes, my guess would be around 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) You could be right about the Haynes i.d.. I am not sure if the emblem is short and white like the GRAY emblem with a reflection under it or if it is indeed the two tone Haynes emblem. It DOES have an awful lot of things that look to be Haynes. Edited December 8, 2010 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I have just looked in my copy of The Standard Catalog and a very similar picture - from the other side but obviously taken at the same shoot with the same models - is in there captioned as a 1917 Haynes Light Twelve touring. I am fairly sure this model used the same Weideley V12 engine as Pathfinder and some others did. An aquaintance of mine was in the UK a few years ago and visited the Haynes Motor Museum (no relation - just a coincidental name) and they had recently acquired a Haynes Light Twelve Cloverleaf Roadster from a museum in the US.

Skyline Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Almost looks like my grandfathers 1918 haynes phaeton, but no front bumper and less hood vents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 The car has a bunch of interesting clues that point towards manufacture in Cleveland. Bumper, doors and trim, windshield. It’s an expensive car when new........possibly a Stearns or Peerless? Neat photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
