dibarlaw Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 With the 2 step running boards and angled hood louvers an Oldsmobile Limited come to mind. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Olds Limited looks right. I would say 1912. Car photo was taken in 14 or 15 in front of the owners home in Birmingham NY. Chauffeur is a man named Santos (Last) and he was head of maintenance of the mill that the car owner had. The lady in the front seat was the owners wife, who died a few days later after this photo was taken. The photo was a family "prized possession" as it was the last photo taken of her. The Chauffeurs' grandson is a car mechanic in my home town today, and the photo has been hanging on the wall of his shop for 25 years. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickelroadster Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It appears that the sombrero hubcaps used on a 1912 are missing. Do not know if earlier limiteds had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
