Loren Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I have a photo of an antique car and would like to know what make it is. There is a badge that is partially covered up by the license plate. Also, does anyone know what the tank is on the running board and if that would be original to the car? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbk Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) The tank on the running board is a acetylene tank for the headlights. The headlights used the gas in the tank instead of electric lights which replaced the Acetylene lights later. http://theoldmotor.com/?p=23423 Edited August 22, 2018 by rbk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Wetherbee Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I’m going to take a shot on the make being a Chalmers-Detroit based on the half of emblem showing. Here’s a link to a great reference: http://www.americanautoemblems.com/search/label/CHALMERS-DETROIT?m=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loren Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Based on the badge I believe you are correct. The original is a bit clearer and I would say it is a match, including the text around the outside. Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
