zcar Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 1) It appears to have an emblem on it with sort of a pineapple or bowling pin shape. Is it known? 2) I figure it is from 1910 based on these inset headlights. Is there a term for these type of lights? I notice the fender (3) is in line with the headlights and the hood (4) is curved and extends in one piece to the cab. Not sure what (5) is. Is that suppose to mimic a coach lantern and is it a lamp? Other distinctive features I notice are 6 "panes" in the rear window (6) and a single clasp (7) on the toolbox or whatever that box is called. It has 10 spokes in the front, and I was thinking 12 in the back, though I'm not so sure. Are there any other characteristics I might key on in trying to narrow this down?

zcar Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 I spent a long time googling with no results. Then you just letting me know it is Case immediately got me pretty close on first attempt: https://www.farmcollector.com/equipment/motoring-with-case-automobiles-zmsz18julzhur/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lump Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 A member of our AACA chapter here in southern Ohio had a Case touring car, when I was a kid in the 1960's. It was huge, with large diameter wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28 Chrysler Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 #2 These are Carbide gas head lights, lit by hand and a 1/2 inch thick concave mirror in the back of them. #5 These are cowl lights (think parking lights) there is a reservoir for kerosene at the bottom and you would light the wick by hand. #7 is a tool box, jack and assorted tools for maintenance and often a gin bottle under a rag.
