Rick0matic Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 This shot was taken from an old glass negative and was posted on the "I'm from Kingston, NY" page on Facebook. The Stuyvesant Garage was at 223 Clinton Avenue in Kingston NY. No one knows for sure when the photo was taken. Can anyone ID the cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick0matic Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Here is a shot of the Stuyvesant Garage on Clinton Ave in Kingston a few years later. They were a dealership now and these may have been demonstrator cars. What are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Keiser's correct. I think Brush is the only company that used that type of suspension/coil spring set-up. The Packard appears to be around 1909, and still looks fairly new, so I'd guess the photo was taken prior to 1915, if not a few years earlier.

trimacar Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Car on right is definitely NOT a Stoddard, know that only because I sent the picture to my resident early car expert (who owns a 1912 Stoddard speed car), and his guess is the car on the right is European, probably Mercedes......He also states the Brush is a very, very early one........

dictator27 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think the one on the right is a Simplex.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gillingham Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'd agree with the car on the right being European, it has a Roi Des Belges body. So it was also something quite expensive in its day. Also, it looks like it has chain drive, which might narrow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick0matic Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 The person that originally posted the shot on Facebook will crop and blow up the car on the right like he did for the Brush runabout. I will post it when I get it. Thanx for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I know the general agreement was that the center car is a Packard and you might laugh me off the stage but I think it looks like this Pierce Arrow except for the script.

keiser31 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The middle car is DEFINITELY a Packard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
