Ariejan NL Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Not really my area of interest, but some searching ends up with a ca 1925 Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Here is my 1925 Buick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I think it may be a 7 passenger capacity. Note the height of the top and the depth/length of the body from the rear doors back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariejan NL Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Clearly not a 1925 Buick, but a 1923 model would fit better with the roundness of the hood. What still worries me is the absence of the small sidelights. Also the protection plates on the chassis cover are larger than they should be.

Stude17 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 How about a circa 1925/26 Oldsmobile. https://www.prewarcar.com/58363-oldsmobile-model-30-d-touring-1926-for-sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert b Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Oldsmobile looks good ,could be an Australian built body as there appears to be a body makers plate in lower front cowell corner, may be Holden and the one piece screen , an Australian thing ,body looks long enough for 7 seater . just my thoughts Bob. ps will see if I can some pics of Holden body Oldsmobile in Australia . Step plates look good for here ,you know that we have big boots down under !!!!!! Edited January 3 by robert b (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step plates look good for here ,you know that we have big boots down under !!!!!! if it is an Oldsmobile (and I believe it is) the body was in all probability built by Holden Body Works. I have a 1925 Overland with a Holden body and their tag is in that position. In addition as Leif points out the vehicle in his post has five wheel bolts and two wheel brakes and as far as I can see so does the Oldsmobile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Thanks for your help,I agree it seems to be an Oldsmobile close to 1925-1926 .The man who put this car on face book seemed to be uppset just becuse I told him it was`t a 1927 Buick as he thought ! so he removed the picture as well as all the comments! When googling I found this about Holden C:o too. https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/resource/BRG+213/1/3/17-40 http://www.oldsmobileinaustralia.info/30ehist.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a geat photo irrespective of what make it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
