Dang, Harm'sWay, that's a cool shot of Francisco, way back in '39. NICE machine, too! I guess it just goes to shot guys were building hotrods before the war, even though the term wasn't heard much yet.

 

Might be a circa 1909-10 Pope Hartford. The 1911 cars had the eyebrows on the front fenders as far as I can work out. I think the Harley could also be 1910 or 11.
According to the pics in The Standard Catalog the 1910 P-H cars did not have fender eyebrows but the 1910 cars I have found modern pictures of do. The car in this pic looks too big to be a 1909 30hp - in fact it looks big enough to be a 1910 40. I think there was only one model each year but it got progressively bigger year by year. For comparison there are several Pope-Hartford pics to be found on this page - http://www.kitfoster.com/carport/ - from the report dated Jan 19.

MrFire, I believe that is a Hartford built Columbia,I have a front view of the car after the run, I post it once I find it.

 

Hommer, that shoe is built on a Model T Ford chassis.

 

Don't know anything about this, other than it is enlarged into a poster and was pasted onto hardboard. It was left in the garage by the previous owner of the house when we moved in 25 years ago. Unfortunately the picture has sustained some damage. Some sort of early chain drive small truck.

That's the photo I have around here, wonder if it is the same car as in the other photos? Note the full rear tonneau, different dash board and rear fenders.

 

Could be a (British) Daimler - not before 1897 but could be as late as 1901. Probably has a Phoenix V-twin engine with hot tube ignition. The last one of those I saw start up took nearly twenty minutes from cold.

 

I don't know if it is the same car or not.

Could it be the car "as delivered", before being modified for the journey .

PS. Different people in different seats in the photos, too.

 

Hey, thanks for that - I did a bit of digging and it certainly looks like the 6hp model. I didn't realise it was probably that old.

Very European looking, but no improvement over a Model 40 roadster at all.

From the one in the photo, Jensen Bros. kept moving forward. Clark Gable had approached Jensen and ordered a Jensen bodied Ford V8 (but he cancelled his order before delivery). The front suspension was altered using under and over leaf springs as control arms. A remote shifter was available. Cars could be ordered with a Ford V8, a Nash dual ignition straight 8 cylinder, or a flat head V12 Lincoln-Zephyr. Also available was a 2-speed Columbia rear end.

A bit like a factory built Hot Rod, I guess.

Jensen? They of the MoPar 440-powered Interceptor? Interesting!
