Distinctive front suspension - 

 

 

Seems by 1907 they had more conventional front suspension - Directory Index: Winton Ads (oldcaradvertising.com)

Who doesn't like a family ice cream outing? 
Those simple photos that captured the essence of youth and family are priceless in my opinion.

Not sure who's happier, the kids or the dad.

Patchet with anything you can find. Really a Model T Ford.

So that's what heaven looks like?

I believe this has been posted before but I cannot recall the maker. Studebaker?

Does anyone know if it still exists? 

Wish it didn't have whitewalls.

Yes, Studebaker, probably a Dictator or Commander 6. Most likely a 1929, although, 29 did not have the windshield visor incorporated into the roof. That's a 1928 feature, to my knowledge. 1928 did not have the cowl vent, so it could be an early series 1929. Since it has a 1930 tag, goes to show even then, some preferred white walls.

Two cars in particular stand out, cropped the photo detail for easier spotting.  In the lower left corner, a 1927 Studebaker Commander Big Six Custom Victoria. 

Now, way out on a limb.   In the upper right corner is a large, two-tone light-color roadster, drum-style headlight, prominent radiator and ornament, a group of forward raked hood louvers: 1927 Stearns-Knight Model D-6-85 or 1928 Model F-6-85.  How's that for obscure?

The big sedan  with its rear door open - almost tail to tail with the Studebaker - must be identifiable. Something in the upper/middle price bracket. Fender lamps, covered(?) sidemounts, maybe disc(?) wheels. Nash/Hup/Graham or ???

Due to the odd times during the year in which Studebaker introduced their new models in that era it is very hard to be year specific with them. My '1929' car was already in New Zealand before Christmas 1928. I think this commercial is some sort of custom on an extended wheelbase. It has the little wings on the headlights which the third series GE Dictator had, but it looks to have a screw-on radiator cap. The bumper looks to be aftermarket.

Hupmobile occurred to me first, maybe the 1930-'31 H or C Series with the disk wheels.

A photo posted by Norma Gurba-Kleit on a facebook page.  

 

Taken in Guadalupe, California. From the list here the plate looks to be 1933 - Vehicle registration plates of California - Wikipedia

 

The car looks to be a 1928 Oakland cabriolet - probably not a common sight even when near new.

Very nice photo of the five ladies.  The old metal wash tub hanging on the wall of the house brings back a lot of memories.  Thanks a lot.

Shared from the aaca facebook page. The car looks to date from 1910-12 but the photo may be later as the car has electric lamps. Unfortunately the photo is not clear enough to read the date on the plate. Not sure of the make but I think not Packard.

Radiator reminds me of White, I think White had electric headlamps in 1912.     John

Circa 1911-12 Peerless?

A photo from historic Winnipeg - supposedly dated 1911 but I think the little roadster - make? - is from later than that. Looks to be an interesting six cylinder(?), low sided touring car across the street.

 

 

 

 

[wayne sheldon]

The detail isn't very sharp, so I am not sure of anything. The big touring car might be a Packard, about 1914. The front end of the fender is hiding in the darkness of the man's suit, so I cannot be sure about Packard's distinctive front bill. Looks like it might have the tail-lamp on top of the rear fender, as some Packards did in those years.

The little roadster might be a Chevrolet, circa 1914 or 1915.

The small touring car across the street somewhat ahead of the maybe Packard I think is a model T Ford. If so, it wouldn't be any earlier than a 1917, first year for the curved front fenders (other than the one year 1911 only torpedo and open roadster fenders!). It appears to have the model T's oil sidelamps mounted to the windshield brackets. It could go as late as 1922 without the electric/starter package. But given the apparent age of the other cars, it likely isn't much newer than the 1917. It also appears to have a winter blanket over the hood (bonnet to you New Zealanders!).

Neat photo! Thank you for sharing it here.

If the car across the street is a Packard, and it sure looks to be, I think it's a 1913 model 48 phaeton.  RHD and different cowl than the touring car.

Mystery car.  Big view, tiny door.

Brunn & Co.Inc. of Buffalo , NY had a great relationship with Ford Motor Co. especially with the Lincoln division after Lincoln was purchased to become the Ford company luxury brand. In 1924 Brunn published a photo booklet titled Exclusive Automobile Coach Work with many full page photographs of chassis with their coach work. Everything from R-R, Packard, Pierce Arrow etc to this car. Ordered and built for EDSEL FORD . It is a Hispano Suiza.

Edsel had a special relationship with Brunn...........

[Walt G]

Ed, I wonder what papa Henry thought when his son drove up in a Hispano Suiza , one of those "fur rin" cars.  Not a Lincoln that old Henry was convinced to buy as a company most likely by his son.

Does that car survive?  Or did Henry's engineering team do a teardown on it to evaluate it's components up against Lincoln's?

This is a page from a dealer's album that was kept in the showroom, image is a photo mounted on linen so it will last longer. ( I wish I had the whole album not just one page!) the car is a 1927 ( 8-78) and 1928 ( 8-82) ELCAR.  With so much detail I think although looking like a rendering the image is a retouched photograph. Yes, lots of odd stuff in my collection you haven't even seen 1% yet.
