Wade Lanning Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Here's another car from my family photo album, probably taken early 1920's. Note curved front side windows. I've seen cars in magazine with this style window. So what is this car?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 1914 Overland Opera Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Speaking of 1914 Overland Coupes. this one was restored in the early ‘60’s and sold to a guy from Fairlight, a northern Sydney Australia suburb. The Fairlight owner promptly parked the Overland in his garage and there it sat unmoving for the next 32 years. Following that owners demise, his widow phoned the previous owner and requested him to take the car away! Now I see it once a year at a car show at Linnwood House every July, a fabulous car! Sorry for the "hi-jacking".😉 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) I would say that the car in question is newer than 1914. Top is flatter, fenders are more crowned and the radiator is more rounded. Edited January 18, 2019 by keiser31 (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Lanning Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Not only that, the car in question that I posted comes with optional dented fenders. Which many cars from that era probably had.... I enjoyed seeing the one in Australia though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I think the car in question is not an Overland because most of those had no hood louvres. I think there is a possibility it is an early Willys-Knight - circa 1917. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Looks more like an early 1920s car with the fully crowned fenders. I don't think it's a Willys-Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
