auburnseeker Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Someone posted this picture for sale on craigslist stating it's original. The car looks like a pretty nice car. Anyone know what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flivverking Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Ah! Keaton ! "Seven Chances" is one of my favorite silent pictures. The added dorky windscreen just isn't right some how .. If it wasn't on,his straw boater would fly off... Edited June 13, 2021 by Flivverking (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I have driven a model T speedster short distances with my straw/boater hat on, no windshield. A bit tricky, but can be done, if you aren't mugging for the camera as Keaton had to do for his movies! By the way, Buster Keaton is one of my all time favorite comic actors. The things he did, his classic timing, absolutely incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I looked but couldn't find a photo of actor Keenan Wynn with his MERCER L Head speedster in the 1950-60's. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
