Attached are six mystery cars... we are trying to id the year, make and model of each. Three of the easier ones are the Ajax roadster (what model and year is it?), the Franklin (what model and year?) and the Hudson (what model and year?) plus the other three cars... thanks so much for all your help!post-69923-143141996599_thumb.jpg

We are thinking they are all either manufacturer photos or dealer photos, but all nonetheless professionally shot. We will be curious to hear if these are common publicity photos or something else. Thanks again for your assistance.

1925-1926 were the Ajax Models, They did not sell well so Charles Nash changed the name to the Nash light six. What is interesting is that the sales brochure shows the 4 dr sedan & the 4 dr open as models offered.

I think the 4th one (with the men looking at the rock) is a Nash, not a Studebaker - I'm going by the shape of the hubcap.

That looks more like a Buick hubcap, to me....

You know, if Nash had died off in the mid 30's I think there would be a much different opinion of them - they made some very nice looking cars at the time, but later became the butt of many a joke.

Your right, some of them were butt ugly. ;)
