1937hd45 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 WOW! That is a very early AACA National First Prize winner, note the winning plaque on the radiator. The Judges were a bit more thorough back then as can be seen in the photo checking toe out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 On second thought it might be a 1910 era Moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Peter, I am not sure what it is but Great Photo! I am sure the slueths that normally identify the pictures in the magazine will have an easy time with this one. Interesting "eyelids" on the headlights and pattern on the top window. Thanks for sharing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hey Bob! Do you think the stump hung up in the right front tie rod had anything to do with the "technicians" (handle used loosely) attempting that toe in job? Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J.Heizmann Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Wayne...take a look at the guy on the left chewing a wad, and, holding a hammer. He has the look of "who's next??".Bob...I agree. How does "National First Prize Wreck" sound. On the other hand, after watching many folks in motel parking lots prior to a National performing "final" detail, maybe they were simply wiping grease of a fitting, dusting, etc. Bob, let me know when you are coming to the Reading Airport for the WWII Reenactment. Like to meet you. Maybe we can get 'ole Wayne and Ron Flory to tag along.Regards, Peter J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J.Heizmann Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 As usual, you are consistently observant, Diz. I missed the "if looks could kill" attitude of the Hammer Guy. All kidding aside, it is an interesting photo.Regards, Peter J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Anybody know what "type" car that is? <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 This is kind of a wild guess but looking at the radiator it looks like a "O" and a "K"or "R" to left of center then to the far right an "A" they are hard to see due to pixels sizes. What I'm wondering is if it is an Oria which was produced by Lentz between 1906-1908. One of those Itailain cars. it would have been a 4cyl. either 14/16 HP or 20/24HP shaft driven car according to my book. No picture to compare. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Also don't know if there was a emblem. Can't tell what the emblem in the middle really is.

oldford Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I might be all wet here, but I believe it to be a 1912 Overland. The classic radiator shape, the shape of the front axle, the oval emblem on the radiator...I put it at 1912, because in 13 or 14, I think they went to left hand drive.

novaman Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 the photos I've seen of 1912 Overland touring cars has that hinged piece under the windshield going straight across and not following the contour of the hood. Also the front of the fenders on the Overland has a "flange" on the leading edge and not flat like the photo. I think by '14 they had removed the flat wood firewall and the metal cowl ran from the windshield to the hood.I'll admit I'm no expert on Overlands by any strech of the imagination. I'm more into when it was Willys-Overland era. Oh yeah, Wasn't the radiator badge a red and blue oval? with white lettering script running slightly up hill to the right?

D Binger Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 That is not an Overland. The 12 would have has a brass radiator.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
