1937hd45 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Looks like a good 60MPH touring car to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26pack Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Well, you sure seemed to stump a lot of us on this one. Given the right hand drive and the gas parking light by the driver, it looks like its pre-1915. Any chance of getting a clearer view of the medallion on the radiator shroud? or the center of one of the tires? Or would that be cheating? But it is a great photo and that sure is one huge car!

1937hd45 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 I took a look with a magnifing glass and the radiator logo is diamond shaped, it may be a Paige, or another make that had a diamond shaped logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willard schoellerman Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi,The car in the picture is a 1912 Everitt, model 6-48 probably a 5 passenger touring. This car has a 127 inch wheel base and a hugh 6 cyl monoblock engine and 28 inch tires. I have two Everitts and about twenty brochures and manuals and your photo is identical. Also the Everitt radiator emblem is a horizontal diamond and the hubcaps are a hex alunimum with the Everitt script on the face.A great photo.Willard Schoellerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 Thank you Willard, welcome to the FORUM! Must have been a supprise to see your car on your first visit. Is that big 6 good for 60MPH+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willard schoellerman Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi again,Actually I have been looking at the "what is it" for several months but never logged in as there was never anty thing to say until your Everitt picture came up which was still a surprise. The Everitt I have restored(except for upholstry) is a 1911 four cyl model 30 and my second car is a 1912 model 4-36 roadster which is a longer wheel base and more powerful than the model 30. There is only one six cylinder car in existance, like your photo, and that is in New England. To answer your other question, yes the car can go 60+ mph. Now a question for you. Can I talk you into making a copy of your picture for my picture file and I would be happy to pay for the cost?Thanks,Willard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Willard, just right click the photo and save it to your documents or your pictures. Easy, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. If you removed a rear wheel, the car would go nowhere because of the differential. The empty brake drum would spin merrily away. That, plus I doubt it anyway.
