I don't know what kind of car it is, but I'm thinking something other than a Cadillac. The mystery picture shows the rear door with a horizontal trim piece that is not shown on the smooth door in the Cadillac photo. Also, the door handle is located lower on the door than on the Cadillac. The firewall on the Cadillac has a rounded "hump" with the corresponding shape on the windshield filler board. The photo of the mystery car shows a horizontal line on the bottom of the filler board that intersects with the hood former. Attached is a different photo angle of a 1910 Cadillac.

marko1234 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Thank you. The Cadillac picture led me to further research and I'm thinking it might be an early Oldsmobile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H.Boland Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Don't know what it is, but this cleaned up picture may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Here is a 1910 Cadillac closeup of the controls. It has a Toy Tonneau body so the cowl differs from a full touring car body. Edited September 15, 2022 by 1937hd45 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another tidbit, in the original picture, the spark and gas controls are not located above the steering wheel as they are in the Cadillac photos. It still makes me think it is something other than a Cadillac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiberglass one piece "tilt" nose used only on drag raced car. I agree Anglia as they were very popular here in the US for drag race lightweight car bodies with huge American V8s the factory Anglia grille is eliminated on these noses, and the owner just used slots for radiator air. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
