Walt G Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 The artwork of the taper tail two seater is from a plate from Cooper's Vehicle Journal in 1922 - this was a British publication that had excellent , choice coverage of coachwork on cars in the 1920s. Things like these plates were in many issues and could be removed and framed as they were loose inserts. The very very long boat tail two door tourer is a Steyer , no information as to who designed or built the body. But if that tail section was filled with weighty luggage the car must have been interesting to handle on a road with lots of curves! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Thank you Casper! If that tail section contained the fuel tank and the capacity was 15 - 20 gallons or more just imagine the weight of that many gallons sloshing around! Walt As promised here are a few more to start the day off - running ( or running boards !😆😆) THANKS AGAIN TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE STILL INTERESTED IN THIS THREAD AND ALL WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED IMAGES AND COMMENTS Edited October 30, 2020 by Walt G spelling (see edit history) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 The information on the two period photographs I posted earlier today : The touring car is a Daimler not sure of the model , note on the back of the photo says 25/85 not sure if that is correct. Body is by Mulliner. The convertible victoria is a Lagonda V12 with coachwork by James Young. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Pierce Arrow with Disteel Wheels as shown in the Disteel Wheel sales catalog in 1922. for the Ford enthusiasts here are two that have custom bodies , the touring car with the cape top over the rear seat was built by Detroit Auto Products Company who were located at 38 Sherman Street in Detroit, they noted that this car was "The touch of Distinction", "The Prestige of Class" , the car also was fitted with a "V" radiator sloping hood and several other items and features that were different from the normal product. The roadster was made in Louisville, Ky. by the Mercury Body Company. Price for the body alone was $200.00 Lots of obscure stuff in my archives. Hope all are enjoying this historical eye candy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 OK this thread says period Images, so I am including here two images out of the spiral bound, hard cover sales catalog issued, produced and printed in France for the 1932 Lincoln V8 and V12. this is just to make some of you aware that a fair number of American made cars paid to have sales catalogs, brochures, folders and magazines produced in Europe - Chrysler, Buick, Lincoln, Ford, Franklin, Hudson to name a few all pre WWII era. I have tried to add these when I can to my archives. I know and have the 1931 and 1932 Lincoln color spiral bound catalogs in my collection , I learned they existed 40+ years ago and was able to trade to get the ones I have ( they were not for sale) SO here is something possibly different for those of you that like the odd and unusual. Enjoy Walt 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) NAME THESE CARS! This cropped photo was taken of the parking lot of Belmont Park race track in Elmont, long island , NY in May of 1942. I have cropped the original photo to get a larger view of some of the cars . There are about 20+ rows of cars abut half a mile wide. The back of the photo says" Getting the cars there must have made some very large holes in the gasoline ration cards of the owners" SO , what do you see here? 😇 Edited November 3, 2020 by Walt G typo (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCK81403 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Something a bit different than a Model T speedster. The 1921 Heine-Velox, twelve cylinder engine, four wheel hydraulic brakes, and the dash panel equipped with a Radi-meter and a gasograph among other instruments. The standard model of this California-produced car sold for up to $17,000, and special models up to $25,000. Running those figures through an on-line inflation calculator, in year 2020 the $17,000 car would be $247,193.30, and the $25,000 car would be $363,519.55. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCK81403 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 This is a great Ford Model T speedster featuring a unique custom body with a hammered finish. From the looks of it, this appears to be the perfect car for new drivers. Any accidental dents in the car will simply add to the allure and mystique of the brand.

Bob No......Holman wouldn’t own a modified car............B&S usually means a BS story. Unless there is total documentation from day one, any speedster or modified car is “always a B & S” modification............as to the Stutz.......I have no clue about its history......but it isn’t how shall we say..........what I would expect it to look like from that shop..........any real proof of the history? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Well... the pictures you posted clearly show it modified in period. I tend to agree with the BS comment but I know nothing about this particular car other than the ad I posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
