It was built for a Mr. Treat of Buffalo, NY . Chassis was made to order and done in Germany with a wheelbase of 173 1/2 inches. It was the longest car in America at that time.It had black leather seats and doe skin ceiling and door panels. Note the thin windshield posts, , that it was a 2 door , and the leather roof in the same color as the body and hood.

57Classic Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I translated (Google translated!) the captions of both of the images before, they are as follows: Transfer to the ferry across the Black Urum River. Travel of high administration persons on the line in a vehicle belonging to the Construction of Zap. Parts of the Amur Railway. According to Wikipedia, the Amur Railway was built between 1907-1916. There are some photos on Wikipedia of very similar quality & similar captioning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does remind one of a locomotive to an extent. Perhaps those spare tires at the rear should have been front sidemounts instead? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Looks like a 1936 or 37 Dodge humped back delivery. Might be a 3/4 ton from the tire size. . Owned one back in the late 60's and put many miles on it but mine was a 1/2 ton. Dependable as can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
