UtahElwood 0 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Trying to identify this car of gentleman visiting our Tooele county. Rear fender turns forward stumping next. I only see Stutz’s with that feature. Also are those turn signals on rear fenders? Link to post Share on other sites
keiser31 5,853 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Here is a 1922 Marmon....similar. The fender light was an aftermarket accessory light to show up when the car was parked. Link to post Share on other sites
nzcarnerd 1,177 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Doesn't look big enough to be a Marmon. More likely a Stephens I think. This one is a '22 and has the correct curve rear fenders, but the mystery car has drum lights and is a '23 I think. A friend of mine restored this Stephens in the 1970s. There was no bodywork with it so it is more likely to be not correct in details. It later transpired that the radiator was a taller 1923 type and the rest was 1922. He acquired the necessary parts to make it correct but passed away before the project could be completed. As far as I know the car is in a museum in Switzerland. Link to post Share on other sites
UtahElwood 0 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Thanks for joining the hunt! Marmons that I see on internet images Have the golf club doors. The Stephens looks very close but back fender does not look like it turns forward. I attached ‘22 Stephens Salient Six. Rear deck area seems more sloped in early 20’s cars vs the 25-30 cars. Pic of mystery car was taken in ‘28 Link to post Share on other sites

Brass is Best 1,877 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I wonder what they were hunting? Quail? Rabbit? Jackalopes? Link to post Share on other sites
C Carl 1,883 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Ahh, they were probably just out plinking prairie mutts simply for the unbridled fun of it. When I was a kid, we’d go rat shooting in the dump at night. Well attached, well sighted flashlights ; better than girls, beer, fast cars and a birthday party ! 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐁🐀🐀🤓😜🥳🤡. - CC Link to post Share on other sites
