Guest Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Do you know the setting for this pic? Is that a war memorial with cannon perched on top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this photo a number of times --because I like Palmer-Singers-- and this is what is attached to the original reference photo: "Driver in 1909 Palmer-Singer automobile in front of Fort Washington historical marker" https://digitalcollections.detroitpubliclibrary.org/islandora/object/islandora%3A176292 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Craig, What can you tell us about a Palmer Singer? There is very little on the web. Did they use a T head motor of their own design? There appears to be one of the 6-60 cars existing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about their engine/design and I have been looking for period article I had that would answer your quetsions. I can tell it's a 6 cylinder, 6-60, as the 4 cylinders are distinctively shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 If looking at Standard Catalog of Amerikan Cars 1805-1942 you find a lot of info.about Palmer Singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Leif, my standard catalog has a little information on the men who built the company but very little on the cars themselves. The 6-60, which was their 6 cylinder model is rated at 40 horse and the company had strong ties with Matheson. In one picture on the web, it appears the 6-60 had a T head motor but it is a limited shot. There is no way to know for sure from that picture. I'm just curious.
