Seldenguy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 With the transaxle and distinctive push button flip open radiator cap I vote for Overland. That said I have also been wrong before.--Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alex.B Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I see what you mean re the radiator 'ghost' but I cannot find any Mercer's that look quite like this? Or Overlands? I am awaitng some motor pics I hope which might give some more ideas...but I really sm stuck as to what this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer09 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I would guess Maxwell way before I would guess Mercer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 No Maxwell that I have ever seen has that huge radiator filler. It does have the 1914 Maxwell looking radiator. Maybe a Maxwell guy will ring in on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex.B Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Is this radiator cap original or maybe after market for easier filling? Also the bottom of the radiator surround is an unusual shape-one I cannot find quite like it on any other car of this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex.B Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Ps I know nothing about Crow Elkharts but they have a similar shaped emblem to Maxwell? No Maxwell I can google seems to have the bottom of the radiator surround right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seldenguy Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have been around several (many) early Maxwells of various models and years. But have never seen one with a transaxle, such as the one shown in the rear view picture. --Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex.B Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 A good guy I have been emailing has suggested it may be a Corbitt? I am not familiar with this marque - does anyone have any photos of Corbitts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Wayne also had a rear transaxle, as did Regal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi, rear spring set up and radiator are very similar to Staver Chicago. But several details are somewhat different. Both Marion and Mason also used a similar rear spring arrangement . Can you supply any other photo's? Thanks Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The front axle and radiator are different than the Lozier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamcar Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The radiator shell ghost does resemble the Crow-Elkhart. They also had the transaxle with 3/4 elliptical springs. I have a 1916 Crow-Elkhart and the radiator shape is entirely different.

mikewest Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The car is a 1910 Stoddard dayton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddyshack Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Looks to me like someone was trying to piece together the remnants of a wreck. There is no engine, no radiator to firewall rod, the first photo shows damage from being hit on the left side (body is shifted to the right about 4 inches or more), the rear end does not have brake rods attached, just to name a few. Might be an early attempt to build a speedster, who knows. Just an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest regalunderslung Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Cannot tell you what the car is but the rear axle is a Weston Mott of 1911 era. It is 95% similar to a Regal Underslung unit. If anyone has one similar or knows the wearabouts of one please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Alex, did you ever get any more information on the mystery car? I am still interested in knowing more about it. Any more photo's? Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rrdoubleday Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I purchased a basket case 1913-1914 Maxwell model 35-4 last fall. This car looks the same as mine. My radiator is a bucket fill made by Brisco, it has a weston Mott transaxle rear with 14 inch external brakes, a Covert transmission and the rear frame member has the exact same bolt holes for three large brakets to mount spare tire and two holes for the rear tail light. The radiator emblem is a shield style, red white and blue, that says Maxwell Motors Detroit Michigan. This model was made in the Stoddard Dayton plant in Dayton Ohio.
