SC14MOC Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 A friend in Houston is trying to work out the make of car that his great grandfather is driving in the attached photo. It was taken in Ireland in the 1920's. It maybe missing its headlights; looks like the car has had an accident and tilted the radiator backwards? Thanks.

dictator27 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Possibly an Alldays and Onions of about 1918. The lack of headlights was not unusual on English light cars of the period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Holmberg Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 This car has been a 4-5 person touring car and what I can see it has nothing to do with Onions cars ? https://www.google.com/search?q=onion+car+1915&rlz=1C1AVFC_enSE892SE892&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjs45aM_u3uAhXroosKHU2LAL4Q_AUoAXoECA8QAw&biw=1920&bih=880 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Note that car does have lights, mounted on cowl. Car appears to have been in accident as mentioned, or otherwise altered, rear tub not fitting frame properly. Also appears to have an upward slanting pole/bar of some sort on frame forward of driver although that could be a flaw in the photo itself. Really an "in period jalopy" my guess!
