keiser31 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Body looks home made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I agree with keiser31,and the rear axle seems to have a fully float hub? 1910:s I think with that rear spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrisonharp Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 1910 is about the time frame of the pictures, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 What car had lefthand steering that early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Home made body for sure. But the chassis could be up to about 1916 or possibly even a couple of years newer. Oakland used those " 3 / 4 " rear springs up to at least 1916. By 1914 several makes had switched to LHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) That electric horn tells me the car is later than you think. 1914 and up in my opinion. The 3/4 elliptic rear spring was around then, and later in some cases. I think the chassis may be mid teens Peerless.

In the original he's pulled over to the right side of the road which may make a bit more sense than the left side in the reverse. I would think he would have the valve in the Prestolite bottle up rather than down. The electric horn is a really good point but the thing still gas lights. That thing shown on the top of the horn may be a plunger so it may be a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much tread on the larger spare but does anyone want to hazard a guess as to which way shows the NON SKID correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Continental rims were last offered in 1912. The spare rim on the outside is a replacement later rim. Yes, the Prest-O-Lite tank should be mounted with the valve rotated up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Look at the rear tire near the top on the reversed photo, is that a "34 X 4 ?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) My suggestion...... 1912 Mitchell probably Model 5-4 Obviously rebodied into what at the time was called a "cutdown". Edited March 12, 2023 by Layden B (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrisonharp Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Thanks all for the input. Seems I need to inspect the negative to determine orientation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LI_BENTLEY Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Try to read the Prestolite script on gas tank. Even then they put the tank on wrong. A lot of show winners have it mounted wrong or have center tap tanks installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
