Bob Zetnick Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Lois Quick was the first woman to drive in Marfa, TX. (center) Her father (possibly at right) was a Maxwell dealer. I was wondering if anyone could identify the car in the photo...is it a Maxwell? The round cowl light lenses make me wonder possibly a 1914?

oldford Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Looks more like a Ford. The headlights suggest a 1911 or 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 On second thought, there are 8 hub bolts, if so, NOT a Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Initially, I thought Ford too, but the front springs didn't seem right and no 'prow' on front of fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm thinking 1910 Buick maybe.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Wow, that 1910 Buick looks right w/ the cowl lights, headlights and front of front fenders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It definitely does not have a Maxwell radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah, I didn't know...it looked like Maxwell had 3 different radiator designs in this era. ... one with a triple curve like an early White steamer, one with an arched top and an angled one like a Model T...I think you nailed it with the Buick though...I was just leaning towards Maxwell as her father had that dealership.

Brass is Best Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 21 hours ago, mickthecat said: I'm thinking it's a 2-cylinder Buick model 14B - you can partially see the sprocket and chain for the double chain drive just ahead of the rear wheel. I think you are correct, I was thinking the same thing. 1910-1911 Buick Model 14 or Model 14b. The small 2 cylinder Buick. The Model 14 had a gas tank under the front seat. The Model 14-B had a larger gas tank mounted behind the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The rear window looks like an early Buick feature. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
