Photo from the Hagley digital archive The style of hood louvres suggests to me it is earlier than 1913 - more like 1908-10 maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo from the Hagley digital archive Am a bit concerned with the identification and dating of this car, which was suggested as a 1913 Delaunay-Belleville O6 45/50. While the photo may have been taken in c1913 I am relatively sure the car is probably some six year younger. The bonnet extends to the windscreen without any scuttle, the bonnet is multi-corrugated, the vehicle is chain drive and has dished rear wheel. From observation, Delaunay Bellville dropped the corrugated type bonnet around end of 1907. Thereafter for quite a period the bonnet meatal was flat, even no louvres. If the photo is of the biggest of the range at the time, then it would have been a cca 1906/7 Delaunay Belleville 40HP four, but size-wise it may even possibly be the marginally smaller 24HP Four. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detailed scans here: https://digital.hagley.org/1969_2_0672 https://digital.hagley.org/1969_2_0650 It looks like it has Maurice Kapferer's "Kap" dual wheels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is being loaded on board the Zeppelin in Friedrichshafen. https://www.opelpost.com/04/2016/mit-opel-im-bauch-zum-zuckerhut/#:~:text=Wiskott beschloss%2C einen Opel Olympia,geklungen haben muss als heute. I think Bartolomeu de Gusmão Airport in Rio de Janeiro has the only remaining Zeppelin hangar in the world. Edited March 11 by John E.

Walt G Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 J E. G thank you for that update and more information ! Love the photos of the hangar. Like my friend the late Al Nippert, I kinda like Zeppelins too - have a large embossed towel out of the Graff Zeppelin that was in the estate of a noted automotive journalist in the pre WWII era - John J. Ide. Also have a 2 inch enameled lapel pin for the Graff Zeppelin as well I bought at an antique/junk store in England decades ago. Plus a few pressed steel large Zeppelin steel toys made here in the USA. Eye candy, none of what I have was ever bought for an "investment" , obtained because it was historically cool looking................. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRA Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The Zeppelin hangar in Rio de Janeiro is considered a historical landmark. It is part of a Brazilian Air Force base. There is also in Recife, city in northeast of Brazil, the last Zeppelin docking tower still standing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twin6 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 On a related note, here are a couple Packards - a club sedan dwarfed by the zeppelin, and a 633 phaeton closer to the photographer. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
