Guest Nancy DeWitt Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Apologies for the poor quality of the photo, but hopefully you can pick out some identifying features. This was taken in Fairbanks in 1913 or later. I believe the car at the front of the line is a Pope-Toledo (the first automobile to be shipped to Fairbanks, in 1908). The last one, on the far right, is a Sauer truck. Any thoughts on the rest of the cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 The truck is Saurer not Sauer. I think it was a Swiss make built under licence in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nancy DeWitt Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Layden--There was indeed an R.C.H. roadster in Fairbanks by 1914. There wasn't a Flanders listed, though that doesn't rule out the possibility. However, are you sure that #3 isn't a Packard?Some of the other marques here in 1914 included Metz, Reo, Chalmers-Detroit, Thomas, Pierce-Arrow, Brush and Cadillac.

nzcarnerd Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 #3 is definitely not a Packard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 #3 looks like a Flanders or Metz to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Even a "small" Packard was a large car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nancy DeWitt Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Looks like a Maxwell made it here in the early years too. Could that be what #7 is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
