edinmass Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Everyone knows AJ has a very neat Reo. He never publishes photos of his cars………so here we go. This one is unusually large and visually challenging……….like his first girlfriend. 🤔 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Does this car still exist or does anyone have photos of the entire car?

They were fitted to European and American cars ( mostly ones that made it to England) to cover over wire and wood wheels. Many were polished but some were also painted to match the body/fender color. The discs were fitted to the both sides of the wheel, inside and out. The original sales catalog I have in my collection mentions specifically they were fitted to Buicks often due to the very active Buick sales agent in London . Came across this incredible Phaeton Locomobile that may be of interest on this topic 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 1925 they were supplying several hundred bodies a week, to a variety of makers but as the 1920s went on the percentage of their production supplied to GM increased and Holden's became part of GM in 1931.

All: I Never have seen a photo of so many 1925-25 Standard Touring cars in one place. There are a few that do show up on the BCA roster. All appear to be 1925 export cars. (RH drive) Interesting from the left, #2 and #3 have sunshades. Possibly an export version of the elusive 25-25S Sport touring. #3 painted in brighter colors. Also, #3 may have headlight bar nickel plated. The Holden connection may be valid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) View of woman posing in 1921 National Sextet phaeton car. Handwritten on front: "New National Sextet phaeton." Typed on back: "The new National Sextet phaeton, with cast aluminum steps in place of running boards, appears to hug the ground in the manner characteristic of the finest European cars, yet standard road clearance is maintained. The unusually low effect has been secured through the exclusive method of body mounting followed by National, in which the body is suspended on brackets riveted below the upper edge of the chassis frame, dropping the body sides several inches closer to the ground. In the year that has followed the introduction of this method of body mounting, it has proved itself not only a source of beauty but of riding comfort as well. Squeaks and rattles are banished through the increased rigidity of the body support, the sills being laid on edge, instead of flat, and overlapping the chassis frame."

It currently resides in the Barre collection in Paris Maine. That is encouraging to see, it looks stunning all these years later. Thank you for the update and who the builder was. One car that looks good with or without whitewalls. Personally this one looks better with the whitewalls now that I've seen the comparison, but then again I'm a sucker for black and white classic appearance of the era if done right, and this is definitely done right. Absolutely gorgeous! Edited January 30, 2023 by 30DodgePanel (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mfoster Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 On 3/22/2021 at 4:04 PM, Walt G said: New York City had a very active Lincoln dealership in the 1930s - Theodore Luce. All his activity was "midtown", which is the area around 59th street at the bottom edge of Central Park. "Automobile Row " was from the mid fifties ( 55th street/Broadway ) and most of the automobile repair and coach builders were on the west side on 11th Ave. ( that ran north and south) . Rolls Royce had a three story showroom at 58th and 8th Avenue . They had a sale usually every September ( middle to the end of the month) and were open Saturday and Sunday , including evenings . RR also issued a sales folder trying to sell the "Used cars" they had. These included RR but also a lot of hi end luxury cars like Locomobile, Crane Simplex, H.C.S., Wills St. Claire, Pierce Arrow , Lancia , Panhard etc. I have that sales folder and it is quite a statement on what cars they took in on trade and wanted to resell - prices ranged from $875 to $10,900. This was circa 1928. OK so some of my friends are reading this and thinking , Walt has some weird stuff. Yes, indeed I do, and it is an on going pleasure to share it here with all of you. Do you have any photos of the rolls Royce entrance? The building was the colonnade and then renamed General Motors building once the upward addition was complete. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would often get starts (Jack Dempsey as an example) to sit in the car and act like they bought one. For anyone interested in Dupont you should try to get a copy of Stan Smith's book on the subject. It is out of print and made of unobtainium, but he is planning another addition. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I most likely have at least one view, this would be in the R-R Quarterly magazine issued by R-R of America to their customers in the 1920s ( it was the USA version of the R-R Bulletin issued by R-R in England)that I have a collection of but currently I am swamped with work to complete research and articles/stories for several periodicals and car clubs. I will not have any time to look for anything until I have completed and submitted the current projects. Glad to share but my archive is a private collection , not a public one so I can't and won't fill requests unless I have the time to do so after my own pursuits are completed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Rolls Royce 20/25 cabriolet - town car ( rear roof section behind rear doors can be folded down. ) Pencil notes on the back of the photo note the car is a 1930 and owned by a Mr. Howard. No further information as to location. Prints I have were take when the car was new or near new. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Walt: Some details came out of the dark shadows, presumably a Brewster body. Drum headlights were a bit passe by 1930, were they not? Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Yes, drum lamps in 1930 were out of date by about 2 years. I do not think it is a Brewster body. smaller chassis so would be unusual if it was. I only reported what was written in pencil on the back. It also notes Mr. Howard was a "former" owner so not the one who owned the car at the time it was photographed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rolls-Royce 20/25 was the 'entry-level' R-R in those years. The 20/25 helped them through the Great Depression. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
