Guest jondusek Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) I have three photos of the same car. One is from the side, one near the driver's door, and the other at an angle to the front. The photos were taken in the early 1920s. Please help me identify this car. Thanks in advance,Jon Edited September 6, 2011 by jondusek (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Lexington - 22ish. They mounted their headlamps on brackets attached to the radiator shell & had a rectangular emblem with and without enamel - not sure of the year tho...

nzcarnerd Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 There are two different cars here, although they both Lexingtons. The car in the centre pic has different hood louvres and would date from the late teens - maybe 1917 or 1918 - whereas the other car looks to be a 1922 Series T on the 128" wheelbase, the only year for that model according to The Standard Catalog.

keiser31 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Same headlamps on all the cars in the photos...looks like the same car to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Take a closer look at the spacing of the hood louvres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think it's the light angle, but I could certainly be wrong. Even the radiator cap looks the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 John, I'm with you on all the photos. I examined them and paid special attention to the louvers. All the louvers slant the same direction in all three photos. They are all of the same car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It could be a 1919. It looks very similar to the one on the Wiki page except for the externally mounted horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryJ Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) The first car (the one on the left) is a model 34 Marmon. They are not the same car. Note the Marmon's structural running boards. Edited September 7, 2011 by Harry J. (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the Marmon's structural running boards.It matches Bleach's photo right down top the carriage bolt heads on the running board splash apron, so I think it's a Lexington...perhaps a different year. I see no slanted hood louvers on Marmons when I look at photos of them. Edited September 7, 2011 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Lexingtons also had structural running boards.The car in photo 1 and 3 both have the same spot light hanging from the windshield so they are the same car. The car in photo 1 and 2 have the same headlights so they are the same car. Since the car in photo 1 shares attributes from photos 2 and 3, they are all of the same car.

nzcarnerd Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The car in #2 photo still has the louvres further apart. A pity we can't see anything of the windshield there which would confirm it as the pre 1919 models had the windshield vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryJ Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 You're right ............I forgot Lexington had structural running boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
