Can you identify this car?
Can anyone identify this car? Also, is there a way to find out who owned
the car (or other information) by the license plate? It has a Pennsylvania license plate that appears to be from 1920 (according to information at: http://bellsouthpwp.net/r/k/rkretsch....htm#pass06-09 ) Small version: http://home.cwru.edu/~bct4/Unknown_002_small.png (270KB) High-res version: http://home.cwru.edu/~bct4/Unknown_002.png (4MB) From other discussions I've had, people have said that it is not a Dodge, Oldsmobile, Star, Durant, Gray Dort, or Elgin Motor Car. Thanks. |
I can't say about the car, but that gentleman standing next to the car
must have got his tie caught in the crank. |
It appears strikingly similar to a Hupmobile model R

Which type of Model R? There aren't that many that have a windshield with a
straight bottom edge. I found several listed at the site below, but I'm not sure which it might be (if any). http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/...ile/modelr.htm "Riteous Right Reverend Mahmoud Bin Changstein" > wrote in message ... > It appears strikingly similar to a Hupmobile model R > > On Fri, 14 Jan 2005 18:40:41 -0500, "Brian" > > wrote: > > >Can anyone identify this car?

Isn't the radiator emblem different though?

The radiator cap looks like an angel or some sort of winged... thing.

"Brian" > wrote in message ... > The radiator cap looks like an angel or some sort of winged... thing. That's a Motometer. Early cars didn't have temperature gauges, and the Motometer contains a thermometer to give a reading of the coolant temperature inside the radiator. Some manufacturers offered them as options, and others were bought aftermarket and added by the car owners, so they really don't help much with identification. Rabbit |
Thanks for the clarification.

I beleive it could be a 1920 Hudson. I did a Google search for that vehicle
and it sure looks like one from the photo you have ........Jim "Brian" > wrote in message ... > Can anyone identify this car?

Couldn't help you out with the car but I took the liberty of having a 'play'
with the photograph. Unfortunately, I ran out of time but here's where I'm at so far. http://shonoel.bravehost.com/ Noel Brisbane, Australia "Riteous Right Reverend Mahmoud Bin Changstein" > wrote in message ... > It appears strikingly similar to a Hupmobile model R > > On Fri, 14 Jan 2005 18:40:41 -0500, "Brian" > > wrote: > >>Can anyone identify this car?
