nzcarnerd Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I note the Mercedes style radiator and quite small wheels. Looks to be some text on the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariejan NL Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 This car is a 1906 Pungs-Finch runabout, possibly a model F but still with wing-shaped fenders. The script is just readable if you know what it is. I couldn't find a better readable script, because these were either absent or largely hidden behind the front lights (as in the uploaded 1907 model F example). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipdang Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Do you think those folks being pulled in the sleigh (my assumption) catch the stuff flying off the rear wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like it. Maybe the sleigh is so narrow it won't get anything from the tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipdang Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Just exhaust then? Empty coffee cups? Tobacco juice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is when drivers drove the car and when they were thirsty they parked and went in to a restaurant or inn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Here's a better look at the '07 Pungs-Finch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm afraid I see little resemblance between the original car and the 1907 Pungs-Finch. The car in question looks much smaller than the other, the unique fenders are totally different and the script on the radiator, while not at all clear, doesn't look to me like "Pungs-Finch".

Ariejan NL Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Uploaded the enlarged front of the car from the original internet photo. I wouldn't know what you could make else of it. Together with the many details which are identical, I don't have any doubt. And I already mentioned that the wing-shaped fenders date from before 1907, whereas car size is difficult to compare with a car in motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
