Leif Holmberg Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Trying to help the Photo Historic club here.I think it`s a Cadillac 1926-1927 but not sure if it can be a LaSalle as well.The flag on the "sledge"tells it`s "Nobels"dynamite on the sledge. Thanks in advance and Merry Cristmas and a Happy New Year. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 6 am Christmas morning and I am here on the computer. Seems every day something interesting turns up on this site! I think this car is a Willys-Knight around 1929-30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Thanks nzcarnerd.No one else seems to have another thought about this car so I have to trust you.My thought why it was a Cadillac was that one of the biggest GM seller here are lying just behind the car on left side.And X12 tells it`s a car for the top people in the heriarki.

Woodfiddler Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hey Leif - I had looked some right after you posted this photo but to no avail. Thanks to nzcarnerd, I got off my butt to try and see what he sees in the 29/30 Willys-Knight. I don't agree. Here's my shot at it (and for this beginner, your photo doesn't give me much to guess with): 1928 MarmonMembers Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) The reason I thought this car was a Willys-Knight was the peak in the radiator which led me to think it was a Model 66B but they generally seem to have three bar bumpers - like Buick used in 1929 - or else tube type. It is certainly not a Marmon like the one in Woodfiddler's pics - that has its headlights mounted on stands like Buick and Cadillac used. I now think it is not a Willys-Knight at all but is in fact a 1929-30 Dodge DB Senior Six. UK-67-24 Dodge Senior Six Series S 4-door sedan [1928/1956] | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I now think it is not a Willys-Knight at all but is in fact a 1929-30 Dodge DB Senior Six.I see what you see now nz. Not a Marmon as I guessed. I like the possibilities of your Dodge, just that bumper throws a curve. Still looking, thanks for the feedback.We're still trying Leif - hang in there.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Remember that the bumper can be a little bit different just becuse that they can have been made in Sweden or Denmark,most of the bumpers I have seen here in Sweden from those days have had a small plate with Stockholm or Copenhagen on it.My thought on the "Cadillac" is that thats car looks "wider" on top than for example W.K and Dodge.Yes I will hang in there and see what`s comming up.

Graham Man Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Could be a 1929 Graham-Paige 612? Looks like there is some sort of radiator "winter front" cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodfiddler Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Thanks Leif - keeping that bumper possibility in mind, could it be a 1929 Packard?http://www.delrods.org/gallery/Andrew%20Taylor/1929%20Packard%20626%20Town%20Car.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I have been going through all of the cars that I think this it might be but not and after much research I have gone back to my original thought - Willys-Knight. I had thought it was the more expensive Model 66 but I think it is actually a 1929 Model 70B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 It seems to be a biginning of a name script on the radiator but seems impossible to read.Anyone that can see what it starts with.? Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCGHandyman Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Leif, Looking thru my pictures I find it looks more like another Peerless than anything else. That was the upside down car someone identified for you a week or so ago.. It was also an X registration. I see the radiator has a cover on it but a bit of the car's name is still showing. Cadillac or Willys-Knight of the years suggested above don't have the correct front bumper, windshield shape, or any name on the radiator as this does.

Leif Holmberg Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) The X registation is for the area(administrative district) just around vere I live until mid. 1960s .Different parts of Sweden had letter from A-Z and even AA,AB,AC and BD but most was single letters,then 1,2,3,4 or 5 numbers.Now we have as an example "ABC 123" intead.The up and down Perless earlier was X2963 .Yes Perless can be a possibility too,as I wrote earlier the bumpers was often made here in Sweden or even in Denmark those years.

Leif Holmberg Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) nzcarnerd.Congratulation the car(Cadillac) is a Willys Knight,I don`t know the right year but I think you are right about 1929-1930.The owner was a Police inspector. Thanks to all of you that have spend a lot of time on this question.I got new message today that told me it was a 1929 Model 70B Leif in Sweden.
