57 Eldo Seville Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) The back of this picture of my grandmother Edna Morris (Simmons) identifies the car as an Overland. Can someone identify the model year? Edited January 17, 2017 by 57 Eldo Seville (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Circa 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 It is an Oakland, not an Overland. Note the hubcaps which are very similar in style to those on Buicks. Could be anywhere from 1917 to 1920, they didn't change styling much in that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Smolinski Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 1920 Oakland Sensible Six, touring. This is based on the picture on page 1052 in the book "Standard Catalog of American Cars 1805-1942." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, If you mean the car in the photo here, look closely. There are 2 oval rear windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was poorly worded and could be easily misinterpreted. I considered "Overland" as "subject" in the context of 57 Eldo Seville's wording.

57 Eldo Seville Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thank you for the information! I had heard that she had owned an Oakland and now this confirms it. Thanks - Dave Morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bugged Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hello. I have both an 18 and a 19 Oakland. I lean toward it being a 1919. They visually were very similar, but there are a couple of quirky items in your picture that are like my 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 It also could be a 1916 model 37. The cowl shape looks a little like a 37 but the dual rear windows may mean sensible six.There seems to be very little difference in their appearance.
