Hello, Fred!
Maybe original wasn't so HORRIBLE? ​

The shown photo is the act of some modern "artist" that like to add colours to old black & white photos! As original auto isn't saved and there is not one original picture from a period (as I know) I suppose that Sonia Delaunay wasn't so crazy to paint two girls (herself, too), one auto and details of her villa - in the same ugly colours as shown on attached colourized photo? Meaning - her art could look crazy today, but that was the period of art deco and some of her works are magnificent even today. But such colours - hardly possible?

One guy "reconstructed" his Citroen B2 in such pattern, but with different colours and even different size and position of rectangles...

Even the most accepted version is that on original photo is shown Citroen, some French experts think that it must be something else: Peugeot, Renault or even less-known Donnet Zedel - all from the same cl*** of French 5 CV automobiles...

Ciao,
Zoran​

 

..

.and "The Beast" also belongs to Duncan,

 

Ah, perhaps. Then is it any different than the GN in post #10228? Art is subjective. Just like our individual tastes in food...so it is with art. It was her car she could do with it what she wanted.if we found it that way today we preserve it as an historical artifact.

Welcome back Bob. I have missed your posts.

 

I haven't gone far.... just haven't found anything post-worthy.

Looks as if the photo may be from the Collingrove hillclimb in South Australia

This is definitively not a Citroen since they had rounder grille shell as seen on the B2, absolutely not a Renault since they had no grille shell and an alligator hood, Peugeot had rounder grille shell on the top section, Zedel could be the one if it has a custom hood since they had louvers originally.

 

I bet they were villiers or greeves 2 stroke powered,
Early "bond" ?

 

It's an AC Pe***e. They were Villiers 2 stroke powered IIRC with the motor in the rear.

 

Looks like one of them is getting a little frisky

 

1915 Harley Davidson

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^ First time I've ever seen an early construction photo of one, are there more? Bob

 

No other pictures at this time Bob.

 

I have these marked as VonDutch car. I think some of these have been on here before. I have about 15 pix of this car.

 

Picked up one, 1943 Harley flathead powered

... could that be modified original veteran auto or full replica?
It must have wonderful sound with that engine, but also great pulling power!
Any more details of construction?

It might just be a full size replica car, built by **** Frances of Philadelphia, for James Melton, famous singer of the era. If it is, I remember **** building it about 1952. **** had built a three quarter size one for himself, powered with a small Briggs&Stratton lawnmower engine, previously. I believe that **** powered the Melton one. with a much larger, but still single cylinder Brigs. I would stop in a ****'s shop some days on my way home from high school, because he also sold model airplanes and their engines. **** always had time to talk with a nosy kid. One of the worlds good guys--RIP, ****
