maok Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Probably a French make from that bonnet style, maybe a Renault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 There were a number of American makes that used the "French" style hood along with the Mack Bulldog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Going by the front dumb irons of the chassis it might be an early Darracq - circa 1902, although with some modifications, like a radiator update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I agree with nzcarnerd aboy Darrac .https://www.google.com/search?q=darrac+1902+car&rlz=1C1FKPE_svSE1042SE1042&oq=darrac+1902+car&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i10i160l3.6350j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=Va4MlXwr4sDG0M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LI_BENTLEY Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Note the front axle is set back almost behind the engine. Very unusual not a common car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gillingham Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) I think it's a De Dion Bouton, possibly the 1902 K1. Edited June 22, 2023 by Craig Gillingham (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariejan NL Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) The car is 1901/1902 8hp double phaeton, see uploaded image. The fender style was more common on the tonneau model, but was used on other models too. The rounded dumb-irons at the front were characteristic for early De Dion-Bouton models, though they were not the only make using these.

JB1913 Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Thanks to all who have made suggestions, looks like Ariejan NL is on the mark. De Dion. regards JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
