Preston Hull Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hi all, I am doing research for a historic site, and knowing the dates of the family's vehicles would be very helpful in answering a few questions about the history of the site itself. There are a few vehicles, so I will post separately per the rules. However, the first and most important photo has two vehicles in it. I imagine the one in the garage might be impossible, but what do I know? Thanks in advance. Let me know if more context is relevant/helpful.

keiser31 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I am guessing a late teens Packard on the right. It seems to have the Packard red spot in the centers of the hub caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Could be a circa 1916 Packard Twin Six (long hood). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Hull Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 You guys are good. I didn't want to bias you, but now I will tell you that the owner's grandson told an interviewer that his grandfather was "always a twin six man." The grandson was wrong about a lot of other details, so I couldn't trust him outright. Thanks for the confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin6 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Grandpa is correct. This is a first series twin six Packard, model year 1916 (production began in 1915). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Packard had a loyal following. Chances are the one in the garage is also a Packard if it belongs to the same owner. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Possibly a Model A Ford in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 At first I thought Model A Victoria in the garage by the way the spare leans forward but the roof is too high and I think it is an older car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Hull Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 I appreciate the speculation about the other vehicle. I doubt this helps, but I know the owner purchased his first vehicle in 1911. However, I don't know what it was, and I don't know if the car in the garage is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Hull Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Wasn't sure if I should make a new thread for this one or not--I just came across an extremely clear photo of the owner in a Packard. The photo is labeled 1914, so I assume based on the date and coloration that this is a different model than the one in the photograph I first posted that was identified as a 1916 Twin Six, but just wanted to confirm. I can't assume the date on this photo is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 1914 Hudson 6-54 Series touring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hudson factory image, circa 1914. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Hull Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Boy, shows what I know. I assumed the label was wrong. I guess this guys wasn't always a Packard man. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
