lump Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 My family thinks I am a wizard at identifying old cars, since I know them better than the average man on the street. But my knowledge is strongest in the 50's thru 70's, even though I have owned a few earlier cars. With the above thought in mind, I try to carefully memorize details which help to identify 1920's and earlier cars, which the folks on here are so sharp with, and are kind enough to share. So when my younger brother presented a very cool old camping photo with a touring car in good detail, I was hopeful I could ID it. I noted the 6-sided hubcaps, and the distinct lines in the hood, which continue into the grille shell. My first reaction was the pleasant realization that I have seen those features before, when someone on this forum pointed them out on another car. But that was followed by a feeling of foolishness, because I cannot remember! Aarrggh! I guessed at Thomas and at Locomobile, but online photos didn't match that. So please, folks, tell a forgetful old man what year and make the touring car in this gorgeous photo is. I concede my deficiencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H.Boland Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 My best guess is about a 1922 Willy's Knight. Jim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepher Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Wheels are different between the OP's photo and the pic posted by J.H.Boland. One has 6 clamps the other has 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 It is a 1924 Model 64. From a look at the link the 1923 cars had five rim lug, the 1924 cars had six and the 1925 cars went to smaller diameter wheels with balloon tyres - Willys Overland Knight Registry - Willys Knight Photo Gallery (wokr.org) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
