auburnseeker Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Just now, edinmass said: Now that's my kind of Christmas photo. And it's even auto related as all the packages are filled with vintage car accessories I'm sure. Pretty risque for the day. Now it's a regular trip to Walmart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Ed I will venture a guess that is a Wills Saint Claire roadster with the little gal at the wheel. WOW what a neat neat car and a great photograph I am not a huge enthusiast of roadsters or two door open cars but this one is just so spectacular Walt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twin6 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 A fine Stevens Duryea touring car in an unknown location that might be the toll road on Mt. Washington.

Washington. License plate A161A might be a dealer plate, not sure, but a nice palindrome. According to this, the A did indicate dealer. The dealer and his family on an outing possibly? Would be interesting to research the Stevens Duryea dealers in the area during that time frame to see if one could verify. Very interesting photo.

Hi Ed, Always thought this type of coach work was the last bastion of Victorian time. Hope they did something about the open rear spring showing.

Walt G Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Neat , Great period photos continue to appear here, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all of you who contribute and view and comment. Can old photos put one in a Christmas/holiday spirit ? - well for me they do. They bring great joy and wonder , to think for how many decades all of this was buried in files, boxes, envelopes etc. And now is presented here courtesy of AACA our host. ( think of AACA every time you look here and find joy and say to yourself 'geez look at that' ) We can all view my favorite era for motor vehicles. My sincere thanks to all of you .

No, not Goggle, The Splendid Stutz, edited by Raymond A. Katzell, page 253. I've both been fascinated by the late 1920's coach built convertible victoria configuration before it became most associated with Dietrich, Rollston and Brunn; and frustrated no full images of the car seem to exist. Advertised as "an 8-passenger coupe"; well, folks were considerably less broad of beam then... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) If the level of the trunk was expanded up about 6 inches or so the whole profile and appearance of the car would change and be more balanced to view and flow so much better. Scale and proportion come into play visually in every aspect all the time with cars . If you hold your hand over the portion of the photo just aft of the body to block the low profile trunk the car totally changes appearance and is decent looking. To much space between the back of the body and trunk as well. I am currently working on a story of car styling and the transition of the level of height, angles etc. pre WWII era . I will use all period images, both photographs and catalog illustrations. Edited December 17, 2022 by Walt G (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the case of the (Lincoln-based??) coupe above (Berlin plate (IA 15000), it had to be that low in order for the top to fold down onto it. Also, maybe in order that the women can lift out the fitted trunks - 😉😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
