Dan Cluley Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 A couple of photos of my Grandmother & her Sisters. I know they drove this car from Chicago to Florida in 1930, but haven't been able to ID what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Going out on a limb here, the radiator shroud looks like Marmon. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Here is a 1925 V 63 Cadillac. Those drum headlights kind of zero it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The front fender to running board transition is quite different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadillacs, and a few other more expensive makes - have noticeably large rear hub caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The drum lights and the tallish hood louvres date the car to 1922-24 I think, but those very small hub caps have me mystified. I think it is something mid-range pricewise. Sedans were expensive then and I suspect this was most of $2,000. In the same class as a Studebaker Special Six.

Dan Cluley Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Thanks for all the suggestions. I haven't found an exact match yet, but this definitely narrows it down. As well as Cadillac, Buick seems to have used that style of door handle. The fender/running board area was bothering me as well, but looking closely, it seems like there is a mudflap on the bottom of the fender & I think there is actually a gap before the running board. I'm thinking cheap repair of some sort. Given that the car would have been at least 5 years old at this point, I suspect other changes are possible.

Leif Holmberg Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The car in the question seems to have an extra "sun shade",just wonder if it can be a Perless 1922-1923? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude17 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 How about a Stutz circa 1923. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first considered that too because of the drum headlights and the mud flapped front fender. But then I looked closer. It’s not a Kissel. Kissels in the twenties didn’t use indented fenders. And the wheel hubs are definitely not Kissel. Radiator isn’t rounded enough either. There’s a Lincoln behind it.

Notice the kick plate matches the one in first photo of this post. Edited February 1, 2022 by drwatson (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 It seems a bit unusual they would have the driver's door blocked off with luggage and so forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those days it was common to exit the vehicle from the passenger side of the car. The door lock was on the passenger side (USA cars). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Cluley Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Thank you very much. I'd say the Chandler is definitely a match, looks like it is '22-'24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
