nzcarnerd Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 This photo was posted on facebook today. As posted it suggests the car has right hand drive - see first version - but I wonder if it should be left hand drive. No clues given as to the origin of the photo. The hubcaps and the windshield support suggest it is a Reo although I haven't yet found a match for the wheel spokes. I found a couple of 1925 Reos for sale which have similar hubcaps and windshield supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Yep. 1924 or so.... Edited January 3, 2020 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Maybe the clues - to left or right - are in the guy's trouser fly or belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Looks to be a 1924. Could be as early as 1923 and as late as 1925. 1926 was different. Edited January 3, 2020 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 General agreement seems to be that the first photo - with the car as right hand drive - is correct, going by the change pocket in the guy's trousers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always look for wedding rings, I cant tell if she's sporting an engagement ring or not in the first pic, second pic, not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Guys shirts always overlap left to right, girls right to left, and men buckle belt with end to the left (if right handed!) so suggests first picture is correct, RHD car. Could be taken in Britain. BTW, I'm left handed, so put my belt on in opposite direction. Did you ever think a right handed person wears their watch on their non-working left hand. However a lefty also has to wear it on his left in order to be able to wind it. I don't think any company ever made a watch for left-handers. TMI!!
