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 swanky 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.
