History way old car

anybody read the name on the radiator? or perhaps just know what make/year this thing is?

 

just a guess........"WHIPPET"

 

I think that would fall under the heading of: Bad Guess. First Whippet (replaced the Oakland) was built in 1926 - car in photo is much earlier - teens perhaps.

 

I was going to guess Oakland. That cowl is unique someone will know it.

 

1912 reo

 

post it here, they'll know

 

I have no idea, but would like to be the first to comment on the ag tread tires on the rear.

 

I don't know what it is but that is a cool photo. I keep staring at it and have a feeling like on the verge of time travel. I've checked out the features of the car, of course, but I think it's the faces and the neighborhood in the background that captures me. I know that sounds weird, huh?

 

Photo was taken in Moscow, ID (home of University of Idaho). I do not know the people in the picture.

 

pan ??? based out of st. cloud minn.

treads were common right until 1990 in or weather

google
pan
pantowners

for mor e pix

 

i was doing the same thing! i like how good the side walk looks...and it was all done by hand.

 

steering wheel on the wrong side

 

still unsure maybe not a pan after looking at a few

old negs are ez to have wrong

okay after flippin, inverting colors, and tryin to blow up500%to read logo on rad and wheel hubs still nuthin

 

yep

 

I'd guess it to be a pre 1913 Cadillac

 

1912 Abbot-Detroit Model 44 i think.

 

My guess: Cole

 

...

 

1913 overland may be.

 

1912 sounds right but I would say 1912 Cole.....

 

The car is real neat. The cowl lights look similar to an unmarked one I got at an estate sale this fall that I thought it was for a carriage.

 

Neat picture. I have no idea what it is,but I've noticed,as a lot of you probably have,that the people in these really old photos are almost always dressed to the nines.
I guess it because back then only well to do people could afford a car.Maybe they were off to some s****y party and decided to have their picture taken to celebrate. having your picture taken then was no small thing like now.
Things sure have changed.
