Really you will just get a congrats. I found this picture in my family album and have no clue of the date. Pretty cool car though.

No expert, but have seen Brush cars at Hershey. That car looks too big IMO. Brush also had a straight front axle "beam" nade from WOOD.

 

just the first name that popped into my head.....i have no idea what it is

 

Yep Brush used wood in the front end and is a much smaller car.

It isnt a Duesenberg either, they weren't built until the '20's

So many manufacturers used the same basic shape of radiator and the pic is fuzzy... My guess is possibly a Cadillac or Locomobile

 

... Or a stutz?

 

i owned a Locomobile once...a 1900

but i'm not familiar enough with them to identify one

 

AMC Pacer

 

Stutz and (especially) Mercer were fairly small speedsters- this one is big... makes me wonder if it's an early firetruck conversion?

 

I don't think it is a Stutz. The axle on the OP car dips in the middle in a way different from the Stutz. The lower corners of the radiator are different than a Stutz. The gas tank is mounted differently as well. There are a number of possibilities and some time spent googling might yield an answer but the sheer number of cars built in that early era presents a challenge.

 

No problem, that's Frank's car.

 

Looks a lot like an REO

 

I'd say about a 1910-12 Marmon speedster by the radiator, oval radiator badge and other cues....here's the touring model....

 

I get neck pain from trying to look at the picture and determine what it is.

 

I don't think it is Marmon or Reo, either. Look at lower corners of radiator and also the "u" shaped dip in the front axle.

A few months ago, I spent a couple of weeks in my spare time to identify a 1909 Mitchell, which had a one-year only radiator shape. I know, I am a nerd and I like to try to identify obscure makes in old photos.

The clues on this car are going to be the radiator shape top and bottom and the dip in the front axle.

Here is a good website for general ideas about what something might be

1911 Overland is a possibility

Also look at the frame crossmember to which the radiator is mounted.

 

1914 buick speedster

 

Perhaps an early dort HARD TO TELL FROM THE Angle

 

Cool as hell, is what it is!

 

Really hard tell looks Loco to me ?????????????????

 

Not a clue, but I like that Nitros tank by his foot!

 

Downhill racer

 

Ol' Betsy

 

Well here you go then... I fixed it. (More convenient than turning your monitor sideways...)

And a bump to the top. This is interesting!

 

This could possibly be a very early American Underslung....
