On the headlamp cross bar is a California "Good Roads" badge. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Huppmobile's and I am guessing the wheels are light color painted with chrome lock rings and that there is an overhead light not too far from the car giving the impression of chrome wheels - the 4 door sedan does have accessory metal spare tire covers too.

Ed, I looked at that photo a good couple of times and then took a "guess" at Dietrich, so today went out to see what I could find - and I found this brochure.

I came across this photo recently and realized that a friend has a set of these Knickerbocker tractor wheels lying outside his house for "yard art". He is a Model T guy and I am pretty sure he doesn't know what his yard art actually is. Knock your fillings loose - a pleasue I am sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 The headlamps on the 1930 Stutz touring car were made By Ryan and referred to as Ryanlites. They were also used by Franklin in 1929 on their series 135 and 137 cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Stutz and I am thinking given the M on the license that this is a manufacture plate (notice also Stutz(s) in background. I am leaning toward an M Series with a LeBaron body Edited April 30, 2020 by John_Mereness (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going over to friends and the best garage spot was taken up by a 1947 Ford Wrecker, while the second best garage spot was a Bugatti 57 Gangloff, and the third best spot was a 1929 Lincoln Tophat limousine - "Hey, have I ever really shown you my Ford Wrecker ?"

Matt....guess who has a real one.........🤔 Ours was built from a 1930 Pierce Series A. ( Big engine, long chassis) Done professionally in Rochester New York in 1937 by a body shop & parts store. It went missing in the 50's and over the years people went looking for it. They knew it survived the war. It fell off the early collectors radar and made its way to Canada. We found it there in 2005, and went to get it. It was quite an adventure to make the deal and recover it. Long story short, we are in process of restoring it. We are about 40 percent done. Overall it has good build quality and very good lines. I don't have any photos on the computer. Best, Ed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see it and I'm collecting photos in case I need to figure out how to build my own. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
