nzcarnerd Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 A facebook photo. The car belonged to the great uncle of Jim Baker. There was a suggestion the car was fitted with one of the aftermarket bodies available for Ford T s and others. The fenders look like mid teens Buick but the hubs are wrong for Buick.

1912Staver Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I think it is a much bigger car than a "T ". The hubs and wheels are quite substantial. And it looks like the front springs are parallel leaf springs. It might be a 1914 - 15 era car with updated bodywork. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrhd29nz Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Interesting that the front and rear fenders are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 The fenders are of a very similar design, however I think the rear edge of the rear fender curves around lower than the front edge of the front fender. If placed side by side the rear would be somewhat longer than the front. Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Many times when someone built a speedster they would use 2 sets of front fenders and reverse the set for the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
