Steven H Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Can someone identify the approximate year, make & model of this car? My Mom sent it to me, it''s my great grandfather. Most models from that era have the front fender sloping into the running board vs this one abruptly end at it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Believe it's a 1916 Dort. Could be a 1917 but looks like hood louvers were slanted back instead of straight. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Looks like the one in question has four hood louvers and a hole in the splash apron. Edited February 14, 2020 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The advertisement above shows four louvers. Possible the apron hole was only on one side of the car? Believe the photo I included is a 1917. The Gray Dort is similar, and some were also made in Canada. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The match of the very uncommon front fender to running board transition makes the Dort identification almost a certainty in my mind. Airbrushing of magazine ad and brochure photos make them an unreliable source. Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
