Those simple photos that captured the essence of youth and family are priceless in my opinion.

30DodgePanel Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) I believe this has been posted before but I cannot recall the maker. Studebaker? Does anyone know if it still exists?

Most likely a 1929, although, 29 did not have the windshield visor incorporated into the roof. That's a 1928 feature, to my knowledge. 1928 did not have the cowl vent, so it could be an early series 1929. Since it has a 1930 tag, goes to show even then, some preferred white walls.

58L-Y8 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Two cars in particular stand out, cropped the photo detail for easier spotting. In the lower left corner, a 1927 Studebaker Commander Big Six Custom Victoria. Now, way out on a limb. In the upper right corner is a large, two-tone light-color roadster, drum-style headlight, prominent radiator and ornament, a group of forward raked hood louvers: 1927 Stearns-Knight Model D-6-85 or 1928 Model F-6-85. How's that for obscure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Due to the odd times during the year in which Studebaker introduced their new models in that era it is very hard to be year specific with them. My '1929' car was already in New Zealand before Christmas 1928. I think this commercial is some sort of custom on an extended wheelbase. It has the little wings on the headlights which the third series GE Dictator had, but it looks to have a screw-on radiator cap. The bumper looks to be aftermarket.

nzcarnerd Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 A photo posted by Norma Gurba-Kleit on a facebook page. Taken in Guadalupe, California. From the list here the plate looks to be 1933 - Vehicle registration plates of California - Wikipedia The car looks to be a 1928 Oakland cabriolet - probably not a common sight even when near new. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Shared from the aaca facebook page. The car looks to date from 1910-12 but the photo may be later as the car has electric lamps. Unfortunately the photo is not clear enough to read the date on the plate. Not sure of the make but I think not Packard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 A photo from historic Winnipeg - supposedly dated 1911 but I think the little roadster - make? - is from later than that. Looks to be an interesting six cylinder(?), low sided touring car across the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The detail isn't very sharp, so I am not sure of anything. The big touring car might be a Packard, about 1914. The front end of the fender is hiding in the darkness of the man's suit, so I cannot be sure about Packard's distinctive front bill. Looks like it might have the tail-lamp on top of the rear fender, as some Packards did in those years. The little roadster might be a Chevrolet, circa 1914 or 1915. The small touring car across the street somewhat ahead of the maybe Packard I think is a model T Ford. If so, it wouldn't be any earlier than a 1917, first year for the curved front fenders (other than the one year 1911 only torpedo and open roadster fenders!). It appears to have the model T's oil sidelamps mounted to the windshield brackets. It could go as late as 1922 without the electric/starter package. But given the apparent age of the other cars, it likely isn't much newer than the 1917. It also appears to have a winter blanket over the hood (bonnet to you New Zealanders!). Neat photo!

Walt G Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Brunn & Co.Inc. of Buffalo , NY had a great relationship with Ford Motor Co. especially with the Lincoln division after Lincoln was purchased to become the Ford company luxury brand. In 1924 Brunn published a photo booklet titled Exclusive Automobile Coach Work with many full page photographs of chassis with their coach work. Everything from R-R, Packard, Pierce Arrow etc to this car. Ordered and built for EDSEL FORD . It is a Hispano Suiza. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Ed, I wonder what papa Henry thought when his son drove up in a Hispano Suiza , one of those "fur rin" cars. Not a Lincoln that old Henry was convinced to buy as a company most likely by his son.

Walt G Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 This is a page from a dealer's album that was kept in the showroom, image is a photo mounted on linen so it will last longer. ( I wish I had the whole album not just one page!) the car is a 1927 ( 8-78) and 1928 ( 8-82) ELCAR. With so much detail I think although looking like a rendering the image is a retouched photograph. Yes, lots of odd stuff in my collection you haven't even seen 1% yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
