Mystery Car
 

We found this picture in the attic. Any idea what year and model of the car? We are trying to date the picture.

Thanks
Tom

If you don't get an answer here, try over on the HAMB.

Yeah, those guys would have answered it yesterday.:D

Re: Mystery Car
 

With wheels and body lines like that, I would bet mid to late 20s. I have no idea the make.

Re: Mystery Car
 

One thing that caught my attention is the apparently different size front and rear tires.

You could try sending the picture to Hemmings under Lost & Found in Hemmings Classic Car magazine. Here's the email:

I too am interested in its make and model. My initial guess, and that's a stab in the dark is a Dodge. Please respond when it is identified.

Lookit the odd rear wheels. The last time I saw something like that was on a WWI Lohner electric road engine. I'll take a wild guess that it is an Owen-Magnetic.

Put it on AACA general discussion. Someone will know instantly. And while you are there, check out the 155 page thread called Period Images to relieve some Stress. Thousands of photos like yours, really fun... samples attached...

Re: Mystery Car
 

Those are great photos!

Re: Mystery Car
 

Looks like someone put a Dodge rear end under it, but the car is not Dodge.

Re: Mystery Car
 

Door panel spacing and headlights dont match Owen-Magnetic. Petehoovie, I think you got it. I'd put money on it being a Buick.

Re: Mystery Car
 

Franklin is my guess, 1926ish

Re: Mystery Car
 

Hard to tell but are the front wheels wood spoked and rears steel and is that a drum brake? Also looking at the radiator and headlamp is this car from the end of the brass era? Perhaps the car was cobbled together to keep it going in that era. Note the happy faces of the occupants, particularly the child in the rear seat. Fascinating bit of history.

No louvers on the hood sides of a '26 Franklin....
