keiser31 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I think it IS the same car. Too many similarities NOT to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I just scanned this because we are trying to figure out if the radiator emblem has paint in the letters. Certified to be pre WWII and never published. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Here is one of the Buffalo Wire wheel company from the late 20's? Not sure of the exact date. I cleaned out an old Camp in Long Lake that had changed hands a few times. It dated from around 1900. They were tearing down a large boat house that had nice game room upstairs with a Large Mahogany desk in it full of stuff from the 50's back. I ended up with the desk as no one wanted it and while going through it found an embossed binder from the buffalo wire wheel company with a bunch of handwritten notes about shares in the company. I still have it somewhere. I use the desk daily. While cleaning out other "junk" from the upstairs There was a framed picture of I believe it was the apollo moon landing. It was just a nothing special poster, but behind it fell out, Almost in the water as we were throwing stuff in the dumpster, this set of photos. Not sure why or how they ended up there but it most likely saved them from getting tossed earlier and preserved them to a degree. It's kind of neat being a car guy and using the Presidents Desk and knowing the history behind it. (that's what the notes in the binder indicated) Unfortunately I don't have anything else from the Company other than a few letters to him about his boat engine from the redwing engine company. Unfortunately the photos show more the employees than actual manufacturing but still neat from a day long gone by. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachJC Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I want to thank Walt G. for starting this thread and getting me to look a little bit closer at some of these pics that I grabbed out of the damp basement of my mom and dads house 25yrs ago so they did not get destroyed. My wife and I just kind put them in (6) photo albums and they have sat in a closet but this has gotten me to actually look and really see what is in the pictures and share some of the more interesting photos and not just boring old Model Ts...LOL. Most of the pics are between 1957-1963 and the one I attached here must be from 1963 when dad just bought the 33 Studebaker. The first thing he had to do was put new tires on it and those look like new Firestone's. The pic is in front of his garage which at this time was still owed by my Grandfather as I see the sign still says Ken Carter on it. Dad still goes up there every day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 PART 1: Old Motorcars. First I also want to thank Walt G. for starting this thread. A couple of years ago I noticed this book being sold locally on kijiji, published by Ariel Press London in 1964, large format illustrations 12"x16" on high quality "frameable paper". While I have about 400 hardcover automotive books, this is my favorite illustrated one. Most of the highly desirable cars are included, 1/2 dozen from England, France, Germany, Italy, USA, etc, and spanning 1900-1936, also my favorite era for old cars. Begging your indulgence, I will post a few of the best there are on the planet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from the 33 Motor Annual and show the complete line. I tried to buy one of the very few convertible coupes 10 years ago. I think there is 2 or 3 floating around. The 3 window brought really good money (like 100k). Here is a good looking Hupp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have the history - yes, I would say parade flags on the radiator shell, a parking guide on the passenger's side front fender. Someone good with badges should be able to identify the three on it - One on the pilot ray cross bar and two below the Pilot Ray. This Cord features: Pilot Ray, Stone Guard, License plate frame, Lyon Sidemount Covers, Roscoe Mirrors, Spotlamp, Double Whitewall Tires, and the aforementioned Fender Parking Guide (not sure if a factory option or not) and the flag holders probably would have been a non-factory add on.

Walt G Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Al and John - re the cycle fendered Hupp- at the Ridgefield, Ct. HCCA annual meet in Sept. there used to be a guy that had a wonderful tan colored ,cycle fendered Hupp either a victoria coupe or sedan. ( OK Bob jump in here with who it was) and it was one of the few Cycled fendered Hupmobiles I ever saw in person and certainly the best one. I remember talking with the fellow who owned it and we kept in contact and I do recall him selling it after many years but this was all 30 or more years ago. I also remember at the time I wish I had the $ and space to be able to buy it. OUTSTANDING looking automobiles. Walt PS It is very gracious of all of you to make personal contact to thank me for starting this thread, but hey everyone I am enjoying what you post just as much as you are enjoying what is here . 🤩 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsmoke Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 PART 4: Old Motorcars. In first 3 parts of this post on the "Old Motorcars" book, I left out perhaps the very first of the great cars, this 1907 RR Silver Ghost, and many ordinary "non-car guys" idea of what an old car is, the beloved Model T, this one from 1911. Loving this whole thread, I've never collected old car photos, but am sure glad some of you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
