3macboys Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Bonus points for the third car and I'll buy a chicken dinner if you can ID the 4th car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) The 4th is the easiest, 1918 Chevrolet 490 Touring. I'll have fries with that! Edited November 7, 2019 by Gunsmoke (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Could the first one be a 1916-ish Hupmpobile "N" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Thinking further on this one I remembered a photo I had on file which might be of the same car. Photo also taken in Rotorua about 1919. I had tentatively identified it as a Reo but maybe not. Whatever it is it was something that was not available with right hand drive. I think the car in the middle of the front row is a Reo but the car at right rear - our mystery car - is obviously not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) The first car is a 7 passenger touring with jump seats between the back of the front seats and the rear seat. It is a long wheelbase car. A standard touring does not have enough room to add jump seats. To my knowledge, only one manufacturer painted the stripe around the top edge of the body. I can't remember which make that is though. Edited November 9, 2019 by AHa (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbeach Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 The first car looks alot like a 1914 - 15 Chalmers that used a t-head 6 cylinder engine. Front fenders, belting around the body and radiator look correct but can't find a good picture of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
