nzcarnerd Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Photo taken in New Zealand in the 1930s. Dodge on the right but what is that on the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The touring to the right looks like a 1927 Nash Advanced Six. Going out on a narrow limb with saw in hand, the car behind the Riley is a Velie. I've seen so few photos of the front of a late 1920's Velie but one feature that was unique to their sedans was a rake angled windshield which this sedan has. Anyone else? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Looks like Velie is correct for the car in the background. 1928. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The car to the right is definitely a Nash Adv 6 with six lug wheels. 1925-28 were pretty similar so 58L-Y8 is right in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for confirming my hunch, do you have any photos of the front of late 1920's Velies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 1928 Velie....you can nearly see the four vertical fins in the radiator.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Thanks, I'll have to store the four vertical radiator fins along with the slant windshield as Velie identifiers in memory. Why this small volume carmaker pioneered a slant windshield sedan before so many others is another mystery of automotive history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
