The car ahead of it appears to be a model T Ford touring car with crowned rounded fenders and the three window/lights top. Those details date the car as a very late 1917 or later car. So not 1913.

Good call Wayne. I don't know much about the era and fully expect correction if I'm wrong. Thank you. That rear window sure is different isn't it?. I wonder who the top manufacturer was. The ones I've seen in passing have never had the oval shape with a crossed sash in the center.. I always guess Templar and I'm always wrong. Shows you how much I know about that era, especially the roadsters Here's the car Wayne and I are curious about, if anyone recognizes it please input.

30DodgePanel Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Can't be many of these remaining (if any). Guessing it's a late 1920's Dover panel or possibly sedan delivery model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 1931 Lincolns are K models with hood louvers. The KA/KB distinction and hood vent doors came about in 1932 when the fork and blade V-12 was introduced to differentiate between the V-8 and V-12.

The owners of this one, restored in the early '90s, live only a few minutes from me and are Essex nuts. They also have the 1920 Pikes Peak Special, and a 1920 touring car on wire wheels, both of which were restored in the 1980s. I guess they are not getting any younger and the Dover gives them a closed car option for colder weather. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 The Railway Hotel, Winton, Southland, New Zealand, probably circa 1925. Any thoughts what the light coloured touring car with the California top might be? I think the Buick is a 1924 four cylinder, although that model was standard with a painted radiator. The car on the left in front of the T is also a mystery. The hotel is still there. I found streetview shots from August '19 and October '22.

Bob Barrett Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I found this picture while digging through my files the other day. It's noted that it came from a publication called "Antique Week", so credit to them for the image. My notation says 1914, near Tiffin, Ohio. I don't recognize the auto. Do you?

Were they all this way? Howard Dennis Doubt it. Somewhere I have another Essex panel (might be a different year) that looks smooth compared to this one. Another thing I noticed about the photo was how the tail lamp appears to be suspended in mid air without being connected to any kind of real bracing. I see the bracket but it seems like the wires are the only thing holding it upright.

With the small parking lights and the the ground edges of the bumpers I would say 1929, I would expect to be seeing rounded edges on those front bumpers for a 1930. 1930 model C would be the only car that had small parking lights for 1930.
