Ray Garcia Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Not sure how I got this image, but its a large RHD car with 1913 New Hampshire plates. I had it ID'd as an 07 Locomobile, but the more I look at that hood and compare it to images of existing cars, I think its not. The hood and cowl seem all wrong amongst other things. Any and all help appreciated! Have a great weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Circa 1907 Welch? Or maybe a little later. The hood on the mystery car looks longer than on the red car here. Maybe the mystery car is a 75 hp six? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 One of the first old car books I owned was The American Automobile by Ralph Stein. His Welch was sold at auction a couple of years ago - Bonhams : 1908 Welch Model 4-L 50HP Seven-Passenger TouringChassis no. 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drwatson Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Answer to an earlier post. Thanks Eric. Subject: RE: 1913 NH plate Hello Jim. So I reached out to a friend of mine who is a car genius, and here is his response. Hope it helps! -Eric “Amazing photo! The car is a Welch. Very high-end car built in limited quantities in Pontiac, Michigan from 1904-1911. They used a large overhead cam 4-cylinder hemi - very advanced for the time. Only 3 survivors that I know of.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Welch Auto Confirmation of OP photo, from research on New Hampshire License Plate. Thanks to Eric Taylor & Alan Young "Here’s your info for both 1913 NH registration numbers - seems obvious that it is indeed no. 6187! 1913 NH no. 6137 was registered to William G. Colburn, Manchester, automobile was a 22.5 horsepower Metz. 1913 NH no. 6187 was registered to Oscar A. Cameron, Campton, automobile was a 38 horsepower Welch. Hope this adds another level of enjoyment for the owner of the photograph. " Edited May 13, 2021 by drwatson (see edit history) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
