gwells Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I grabbed this one off Facebook, as it annoys me that I cannot tell what it is from the general shape of that radiator script. Not the world's best image, I know... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYER15015 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Not a Buick or a Chrysler. Does have very interesting front fenders that are cut back well behind the headlight stanchions. Script almost looks French (Le or La) ? How come the license plate is so bright ? Mike in Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwells Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 No clue. The poster said it was the only photo he had of a deceased relative's car and it was a Michigan tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dictator27 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Stearns Knight? The white band around the radiator opening would be a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking that Dictator is right and the script is a town booster item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwells Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 After searching up some more images, I believe he is correct as well. 1920 Stearns-Knight L4 touring seems to be right. Thanks, gentlemen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, gentlemen! I would say the car in question is a few years earlier than the green car due to the rounded cowl and hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Like this one. I note it doesn't have the cowl lights though. If the wrong one shows up the Stearns in #18 of 26. http://www.artographyonline.com/galleries/automobiles/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keiser, after looking around a bit more, I agree with you. 1917 seems to be the sweet spot. Although I haven't been able to search up a touring, the other body styles seem to have the correct cowl shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
