SIRAACA_Editor Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 From the Staten Island Historical Society, identified in an inscription as one of "Killian's first coaches." Believed to be taken between 1905 and 1910. John D. Killian owned his namesake auto company on Staten Island. Can you help identify this car?

keiser31 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Maybe a Pierce Great Arrow? Just a guess. Edited March 26, 2022 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '05 Stevens Duryea front fenders flared upward like wings, while these are parallel to the ground.

nzcarnerd Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 An '05 Pierce for comparison. Thanks to Varun Cutinho for finding the photo - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Lamps & axle on Pierce look like a good match, but not hub caps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Arrow has a front piece below the radiator from which the crank extends outward (see add'l photo). This unknown car doesn't have that feature.

modela28 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I don't think the car in question is a Great Arrow. The original picture shows a front axle that is different from the Great Arrow. Also, the original picture shows the tie rod in front of the axle and the Great Arrow show it behind the front axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) 1906 Stevens Duryea, did the flywheel get swapped in later production, or was that one added for a self starter? Edited April 2, 2022 by 1937hd45 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIRAACA_Editor Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 I still think it's not a Stevens Duryea - fenders do not match in front nor back. Headlight mount location doesn't match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
