ncgirl05 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The plate on the front is from 1928. Need help identifying the make, model and year of the car. Believed to be a Rolls Royce. Not sure about anything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLynskey Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Maybe an Elcar(?) 1926 coupe photo from the internet. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don The top of the radiator on the Elcar sits proud of the top of the hood - our mystery car does not have that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Definitely a Moon, I’ve seen the rectangular unenameled emblem before, maybe on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll have to settle for a Moon!" At a little bit over $1000 the Moon coupe was not a very cheap car. 5 to 20 MPH in 6 seconds " to keep up with modern traffic " and a top speed of 60.

TheMoneyPit Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I think this is the style of emblem on the OPs picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, not cheap at $1,595 for a '26 Moon Series A Cabriolet Roadster if that is the model of the Moon in the photo. It was a competitor to the Chrysler G-70 roadster at $1,625. One can imagine the Chrysler salesman saying, "Yes, the Moon is a good car, but it has a Continental engine, like all those 'assembled' cars. Our Chrysler engines are built by our company, are a better, long-term value." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
