nzcarnerd Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Posted on a facebook page as a Studebaker President - which it is not. The moulding done the side of the cowl suggests something GM but nothing matches. Looks to have five lug wheels which limits the field. Hints of LaSalle - but no. Maybe one of the more obscure US makes? - Hupmobile, Graham, Jordan, Gardner or similar - There must be one I have missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The sheet metal suggests to me a "mash-up". Note clean lines of hood/cowl and the sweeping curve on top of cowl, reminiscent of late 20's LaSalle and some others circa 1930. However, that door and partial rear quarter panel seems to come from something else, and there appears to be a golf club door. The curved molding detail at front edge of door is unusual. 2 part windshield suggest it is not much later than 1925/26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels suggest a date of 1928 or so, although I can't see whether they are well base or the lock ring type that my '29 Studebaker uses.

Oregon Desert model 45 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 1928 Lebaron Graham Paige had some similar lines, but not quite a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) While I cannot come up with an exact match, I think it could be a 26-7 Studebaker Erskine made for export. That hood to cowl design is very similar and the side of the cowling looks more like the coupe/cabriolet designs... Might be a very early example???

Gunsmoke Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 How about Elcar? This I think is 1928 or 1929, side sheet metal is similar, rad shell looks similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Looking again, I agree with Elcar, you can just about make out a chevron on the hubcap that’s a match for this emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) If it was an Elcar, what year and model was it? This is the part I focused on most closely, could not come up with an exact match.
