keiser31 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Radiator and other some details are quite different than that 1914 Peerless. Edited December 23, 2016 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Windshield attachment, hub caps, and leading edge of fenders are different. 1909schacht , I still like that you made a good guess. Better than my guess. Edited December 23, 2016 by Larry Schramm (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 License plate looks to be 1912-14 (black on aluminium) or 1915-17 (red on aluminium)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) A close look at the area around the base of the windshield will eventually identify this one. Note the inset 'cowl' lights, which were popular for 1913-14 model cars, along with the distinctive trim piece just below the light. Also of note is the shape of the .lower edges of the radiator, and the 'no name' hubcaps. Note it also has five bolt rims. The habit of the period, of putting the license plate at the top of the radiator doesn't make it any easier. It is 8.30 pm Christmas Eve here as I write this. Probably a good time to wish everybody a Merry Christmas. Mid summer here of course but the weather is fairly ordinary, typical of Christmas week - http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/christchurch/christchurch?gclid=COnl5cn3zL8CFVcSvQodazAAeA Edited December 24, 2016 by nzcarnerd (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I wonder if this car might be a 1914 Great Western Forty, built in Peru, Indiana? https://www.amazon.com/Great-Western-Touring-Factory-Australia/dp/B00VZBKN6E Edited December 24, 2016 by nzcarnerd (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E_Johnson Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Further confirmation: The car has a 1912-13-14 Minnesota license plate 32027. According to the Minnesota "Official State Automobile Directory," 32027 was registered in 1913 to George P. Freierermuth of Randolph, MInnesota for a Glide. Also note the writing in the upper right hand corner of the photo, "George Columbus Freiermuth Sr. and his sons." The middle initial "P" in the automobile directory is most likely an error made by the typesetter. The original hand-posted 1909 through 1914 Minnesota motor vehicle registration ledgers survive and are in the collections of the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul. If I looked up the plate in the 1913 ledger, I could also provide the serial number of the Glide. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
