nzcarnerd Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I wonder if it might be a Dodge from around 1924. Wire wheels were standard on Dodge sedans of that era - according to The Standard Catalog - and the profile of the front fenders looks about right.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Looks to be a 26-27 T coupe in front of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prs519 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 hood louvers should be a give away. Cannot recal what, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Definitely not a Dodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 There were 2 movies released with that title in the U.S., one in 1916 (probably too old for this photo) and one in 1926, if that helps anybody. Keiser31's right, it is definitely not a Dodge. And I don't know how the hood louvers are visible enough to make a strong i.d. from. I don't know why, but I want to call it an Oakland, possibly a 1923 or 1924. That's a pure guess based on body and hood shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Radiator shell has that flared out toward the bottom look like a Whippet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The fenders seem to flat to be a Wippet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Yes, I was thinking that about the flat fenders. Franklins had that shape "radiator" shell, but probably no hood louvers. Here is a 1921. Edited September 19, 2011 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 It is too big and too early period to be a Whippet. Wrong radiator shape for Oakland. I think it is something nearer Cadillac size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olympic Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Keiser, I don't know where that picture of the Franklin was taken but that appears to be a 24 or 25 10C. My 21 series 9 is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 21 series 9 is different.Not sure where it was taken either, but I was going by the sign in front of it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Soto Frank Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I was thinking Apperson... wire wheels, round-topped radiator that flares towards the bottom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I can't find a pic of an Apperson sedan of the right era but the Spotters Guide to American Cars says that Apperson bodies were 'square-edged' from 1922. Another possibilty might be REO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
