jeff_a Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Back on June 21st(page 227) on this excellent adventure into vintage cars Walt started, I had a missing illustration of a Peerless, 90 years old, which I have now found and inserted, with the usual questionable commentary by me.

Going out on a limb I'll guess that's somewhere in Norway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one, I believe, is in the Funk & Wagnall's dictionary under "high-maintenance women". I have put some of the clues in the descriptions periodically. Search engines use such as the name of the concours, the year, city of the concours, auto show, motor show, Concours is a universal term I think (but d'Elegance you need to use both the american and french version), the name of the publications many appear in, and .... It is not that someone cannot do the same as I have and easily find, it is that it takes a lot of search term patience to find and then how to move over to this page so that it does not immediately disappear (as you note - some images are not permanent and within a day disappear).

Also, as you have found out - a Concours d'Elegance is not only a car show, though a fashion show, dog show, and I have even seen flower decorated car photos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Friederich Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) I saw some motorcycles earlier on this thread and this one has a connection to a well known American Automobile manufacturer prominent in the Classic Era. 1909-13 four-cylinder Pierce, inspired by the Belgian F.N. despite having chain drive. The Fuel and oil tanks were contained within the frame. The Pierce motorcycle itself inspired the first versions of the Danish Nimbus after WWI.

Will Rogers did a similar stunt with a car that shed its parts as he drove toward the camera. If anyone knows of an explanation of this stunt it may be interesting. It appears that the Model T is coming apart even before it hits the ditch in the road. The sides of the body are falling outward. As the car's front wheels just start into the ditch the wheels are already askew and apparently detached from the axle shafts. As Keaton climbs off of the wreck he right foot touches the ground at the same time the right front fender ghosts into view and lodges against the wheel. The pile of sheet metal suggests there is no engine nor transmission, and the radiator disappeared somehow. The special effects people did a pretty good job back in the day. Watch the driver of the car because there is a stunt man actually "driving" and he is replaced by Keaton. It happens quickly but by focusing on the driver position one can see a man wearing a pork pie hat, while Keaton is wearing a straw hat. And that is Buster's personal property 1920 Mercer driving along beside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
