kgm0612 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 This photo was taken at Waterworks Park (Hurlbut Memorial Entrance). The road in the background is Jefferson Ave. in Detroit MI. the photo looks staged since there is no snow on the tire tread. Can't make out the year of the license plate either. Any help on IDing. TIA. Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleyRegister Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 This is a really nice shot of a 1911 American Traveler, available from the Detroit Public Library at https://digitalcollections.detroitpubliclibrary.org/islandora/object/islandora%3A225958 .

28 Chrysler Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 It looks like 1911 plate is black with white, 1915,17, and 19 are dark back round with light numbers. In the 4 photos above there are two different plate numbers on the cars, 7999 & 235. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
