PFindlay Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) A friend sent this, hoping to identify the touring car being driven by a family member. The picture was taken in the Toronto area. Any ideas? Edited May 28, 2021 by PFindlay (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Photos are blurry. Around a 1922 Buick me thinks. It could be a McLaughlin-Buick being it is a Canadian photo. Dandy Dave.

1912Staver Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) The other cars in the photo are quite interesting as well. A { I think } Model T open cab truck and a very sporting looking , fenderless, Model T roadster. The Roadster must have thrown up a fair bit of Ontario mud.

Kind of reminds me of my Buick truck, but not quite correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has no outside door handles, which might suggest a pre-20 or so Buick, but I think those Buicks had a lower windshield edge that ran straight across, not following the curve of the cowl as this one does. Same with McLaughlin, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Buick was my first thought too,just becuse of the radiator top shape,1921-1922 Buick has that curved lower windows.But I don`t think it`s a Buick at all,as PFindley say no outer door handles,front fenders not curved as Buick fenders at that time as well as the rear part of the top.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Cardinal Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Could be a 1918 Oakland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 What about a 1920 or so McLaughlin 4 Cyl. ? The Oakland , or the McLaughlin based on the Oakland has the wrong hood louvers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFindlay Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 I found this small picture on a Buick site. It's the only one so far that appears to match (no door handles and curved windshield bottom edge.) But it could be that the door handles are not installed yet. Also, the car in the original photo doesn't appear to have drum headlights, and has no cowl lights. Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) I think the drum headlights started in 1923, at least on the sixes they did. So perhaps a 1922 4 Cyl ? I will see if I can find a photo. 1922 should have the re - styled body with the higher hood line but still have the bell shaped headlights. Nope, all the ones I see on line have door handles. Perhaps not a Buick after all ? Greg Edited June 5, 2021 by 1912Staver (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Mountain Wagon Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I think it is a Maxwell, around 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFindlay Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 I found this ~1918 Chev. Looks pretty close. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 It looks like the bottom rear of the back door is notched for the rear fender in the subject car like many were ruling out the Overland and the Chevrolet. Also the doors on the big Chevy's were slanted back like these are if you look close. The car behind the Chevy is a '14 Cadillac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFindlay Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 I don't think it's Maxwell because of the way the rear fender curves up from the running board instead of meeting it square. But maybe a 1918 Briscoe ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
