West Peterson Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It doesn't look like a Cadillac engine to me, but....??? Also, the oval logo on the grille is confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Maybe two different cars. The frame horns look different to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm fairly certain it's the same car. Frame horns look the same to me, as does everything else. The engine has me puzzled. Also, it looks like a 1911 body, but it has front doors on it. I don't know enough about brass cars to know if the doors were an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwells Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 West, every 1911 Cadillac Model 30 image I can find shows ten-spoke front wheels. This car has twelve-spoke fronts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gillingham Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It looks like a Regal to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that, too because of the emblem, but all I could find were Regal underslungs. Did they make a conventional frame/spring setup model, too?

Craig Gillingham Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Yes, the Regal 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Grille and grille badge looks like a dead ringer for Moon. However, I can't find any other similarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Greg was right!! That looks like it. Low headlights, oval grille badge, 12 spokes, fore door availability. Gosh... we even owned a Regal for a while. However, it was a 20. Thanks for the proof, Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Radiator filler tube looks taller in the OP photos but hard to tell. Can't see the outside levers on the OP.... just realised, it is RHC whereas the Regal is LHC. All the 1910 Regals I can see on the www are RHC. Base of windscreen different. Rear of front fender is curved on Regal, straight with angle onto running board in OP. Very similar cars though.

keiser31 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) The car in question looks like the Regal '30' to me. Look like the one in the ad, not the larger picture. Edited August 26, 2017 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Agreed. The fore-door is a different body than the open car, thus the difference in the windscreen and its base. Front fenders look the same to me on all cars. I also think the larger photo in Mike's post has been flopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 The second photo in my post above is NOT EVEN a Regal. You can just ignore it. I got confused. It popped up when i did a search and i assumed it matched the search criteria, and was a Regal but it's just not. Might be a REO or something else. Sorry.

mike6024 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 On the subject car, the front lip of the front fenders is very distinctive. It looks like it has an extra piece attached under the outer fender. Don't see anything quite like that on Regal 30 pictures, I don;t think. 1913 Regal Underslung has a front fender something like that. 1912 Engine. http://theoldmotor.com/?p=137816 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) This shows what a 1911 Regal Radiator looks like. It seems to be a match. Another Regal 30 picture. Edited August 26, 2017 by mike6024 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lump Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 That red car in the photo has very different front fenders. Great detective work, guys. I wish I knew the early brass cars like you all do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
