MassingNickel Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) I need help identifying this car. I get a feeling that it might be an American marque. Any ideas?

Leif Holmberg Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 In my opinion the car is a 1915-1920 with that stright window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Could be Leif. I could not find any earlier photos with that hood and cowl line, but did not look a lot either. Details are a little hard to see in the grainy photo. Dandy Dave! Edited March 19, 2022 by Dandy Dave (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Holmberg Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 And what make and year is`t "what is it"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) This car from internet image is listed as a 1916 Willys Overland model 86, may be same car "what is it" posted. The hood on the original post appears to slope downward from cowl toward radiator shell, in a more or less straight line from windshield to rad shell, so not sure same vehicle or same year. second photo is 1917 O/W, has similar hood line as OP.

Dandy Dave Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 The 1916-1917 Willys Knight had a large and small hubcap as the OP photo. But the body lines do not match conclusively. Dandy Dave! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQwiECmXEaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQwiECmXEaw you are posting a model 88 the one i posted is a model 86 which looks just like the one in op's photo also this is a different car as well, this is a 1917 which has a slightly different cowl and doors compared to the 15 and 16. 4 hours ago, Gunsmoke said: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassingNickel Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. You are probably correct @Leif Holmberg, it could be late 1910s, rather than my guess of early 1920s. A lot of discussion about Overland. It's a good guess, but I am not entirely convinced about the proportions. I also think there are some other differing details. A thought I had myself was maybe Locomobile, but I don't think the proportions match very well there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
