Terry Bond Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Couldn't resist posting this photo of an early 1900s auto on the road. From the info available it's a family enroute to Stroudsburg PA. Any thoughts on the make of car? Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Maybe a 1904 Pope Hartford.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) First thought is 1903 Packard like the one that drove coast to coast. Bob -- Stand corrected this photo is a WINTON now in the Smithsonian. Edited July 18, 2019 by 1937hd45 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I don't see any radiator suggesting it may be an air cooled car like a Knox or Franklin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I'm thinking c.1904 Renault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 My thought was an early Renault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 You might want to be thinking Winton! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 1903 Winton to be more precise.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Certainly not Renault. I agree that Winton does look like a good choice though, especially the access panel on top of the hood. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Didn't Renaults of the period have a radiator by the firewall or along the cowl ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) I like the underslung spare and twin head lamps on the photo from The Old Motor, photo was featured years ago a 1903-04 Winton 20 HP touring.

marcapra Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I agree that's a great photo of an old car, whatever the make. The chauffeur looks so dignified too! I wonder what the year of the photo is? After checking my 70 Years of Chrysler book, I can with some certainty say that the car is not a Maxwell. It is also not a Brush, Columbia, Pope-Toledo, or Chalmers.

John_Mereness Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Winton ? (perhaps an 1904 ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 I think were safe calling it a Winton John. Even without knowing that it's a fantastic piece of history frozen in time. Now I'm wondering what became of it? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry I've always been impressed by all the high end cars of the 1900-1907 era, they were very costly at the time and had a road life of 3 years or less, many were just parked in the back of the carriage house and replaced by a newer and more expensive car. Must have been fun finding them in the late 1940's early 1950's. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
