crice64 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the vehicle in this photo? We've narrowed it down as likely pre-WWI and the lack of a top makes it seem like a touring model, but that's about as far as any attempts at identification have gotten. Any help is really appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoringicons Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I am going to go with Saxon, but not really sure. Probably from about 1915-1917 ish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Definitely a Saxon, however not a touring. Although a kid is sitting on the rear fender, it appears to be a runabout. Touring cars had a front and a rear seat, which this car appears to not have. Saxon began building the runabouts for 1914, and didn't begin building touring cars until late in 1915. Their cars became more substantial as time went on. They ceased production about 1922. I believe this one was an early model, very likely a 1914 or 1915. But I am not a Saxon expert. Edited November 17, 2021 by wayne sheldon I hate leaving typos! (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povertycove Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 It’s a very early single bench seat, four cylinder roadster…the car that made Saxon so successful. You can tell it’s an early one because it has a hood without a center hinge; it has a gas filler on the outside; it has no running boards. Very early 1914.
