Great pic and a great looking car!It took Ford till 1924 to come up with a shortened version on the Model T.This ones no Telephone booth like the Ford,probably had seating behind front seat.I own a 24 Ford coupe but i like this Overland better!

 

1906 - check out the steering

 

1901 Los Angeles Times delivery truck

 

Thanks LowKat, great photo with the 1901 LA Times delivery van. Must be an electric with those wheels to support the load of batteries. Looks like it is belt drive not chain. http://www.earlyamericanautomobiles.com/1890a.htm just found this site on a Google search. Make some coffe and enjoy the tour.

Two nice cars in a still from "The Gold Racket" 1937. I can only ID the car in back, a '28 Packard model 443 touring, but I like the one in front - it looks like it could beat the pants off the old Packard.
