1927 Studebaker Model EU Standard Six.

 

Those expandable running board racks are very useful for carrying an extra can of gas.

 

Low res photographer's proof shot of my son driving my 1929 Studebaker GE in an event in June '23.

An air cooled car manufactured in Europe  from 1928 from a sales catalog on that car I have. Yes, more odd stuff from my archives , and this isn't even the tip of the ice berg , car could qualify as a "full classic" ( as opposed to a 3/16 classic 😵)  for a certain car club ............

1927  Buick ?

 

 

Probably one of the 115 1926 model 49X chassis for export. As there is no listing for a model 49 7 passenger touring except for (1) as an enclosed touring. 1927 listed no 5 or 7 passenger tourings on the 120 or 128" wheel base chassis. Only 1927 tourings listed were for 5 passenger standard sport touring and the model 55 4 passenger sport touring. Looking at the style of the top bow it may have been one of the 1927 McLaughlin specials.

This is my grandfather’s truck on the farm in Santa Clara Ca. Before it became a concrete jungle. He was born in the late 1890ies I think. Not sure what the truck is

It is a circa 1914 Willys-Overland, an adaptation of the front half of an Overland car with a truck rear half, designed by Gramm.

Gramm-Bernstein Company - Wikipedia

 

I knew the guy who restored this one, now in the Richardson collection in Invercargill, New Zealand.
