Ballard 35R said: Now if we could get someone with a similar car or something like it to give kids this age a ride like shown here it would etch a great time in their minds forever. I taught 1,100 kids per week that age 5 1/2 days a week for nearly 40 years and they indeed are impressionable and remember the good things in life. GREAT PHOTO, thanks Alan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia | Automobile Racing (philadelphiaencyclopedia.org) Bob, thanks for the link to the QCMC overview. As I believe you know, the previous post of the 1908 Packard with the QCMC pennant shows the driver, P.D. Folwell, who was president of the QCMC in 1908 when the club sponsored the first of the Fairmount Park races. He was a speaker at the first AACA banquet and hosted the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th AACA meets at his Merion, Pa. house. Link to post Share on other sites

(Maybe someone with better computer skills than I can improve it slightly?) It MAY be a Jewett. They did use short sharp-transition front fenders of that style on several models in the early to mid 1920s. They also offered disc wheels in that style, and a few had baby drum headlamps. I am sure not sure (due to the shadows), but even the radiator shell looks close. Chandler is another car that used that style of fenders. Not all Chandlers had their distinctive rear window.
