nzcarnerd Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Another facebook photo. My thought was circa 1926-27 GM but I haven't matched it to anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Maybe a 1929 Durant roadster....I see the cowl lamp is missing on this one, but I see a hole for one. Edited November 21, 2019 by keiser31 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwells Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 In one Facebook group, it has been ID'd as a 1925 Star Sports Roadster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lump Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Look at the size of that steering wheel, relative to the size of the young lady "driver." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 As Kaiser said it looks like the cars mentioned, they were marketed as a Durant in USA and then Star. However because Star was also made in UK, they became a Rugby in the colonies. So if this car was in New Zealand it will most likely be a Rugby.

Not an NZ photo - the photo was posted on an international page - and the car has left hand drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. Even the artist's rendition shows an enormous wheel more than three quarters the way up the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I guess one looks "through" it, rather than "over" it. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Maybe the mystery car is the bigger six cylinder model. The woman is probably quite petite as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
