The lower photo is a Packard-Kegresse that I the Russian royal house ordered in 1917. Perhaps they didn't own it for long? There are other photos if out there. Link to post Share on other sites

An acquaintance here in NZ has a smaller car, a 15-22, from 1907. 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.

NOAA list for weather reporting purposes Otter Creeks located in Arkansas, Florida, as a Township in Pennsylvania, as Junctions in Indiana and Tennessee.
