Guest Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 This is from "Americar" on Facebook. I wondered if anyone here could identify the car being repaired?
keiser31 Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Looks like a Buick badge. Maybe a 1917 Buick Model D. The headlight bar location is a key. Edited May 23, 2017 by keiser31 (see edit history)
F&J Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Looks like he is pulling the crank out. Love those early J hooks, I never knew how far back they went...and the massive size of those
Guest Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Thank you. I thought it was a Buick but had no idea what year.
Spinneyhill Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 We have seen photos like that before with the car propped up on planks with another car on the crane.
Larry Schramm Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) I would vote for a 1918 Buick because of the fenders having a crown, not flat. '17 from my experience had flat fenders and the model change for '18 was rounded or crowned fenders. The rectangular radiator badge also screams Buick. I have a couple of the "J" hooks from an old dealer that up to the early 1980's was still using chain falls and J hooks for the service department to repair cars.
