Violette Morris

 

Graf Zeppelin (LZ 127) at Friedrichshafen, Germany Sept. 29, 1929.

 

...

 

I'd say this rear entrance tonneau had to have been 5 years old by the time these ladies had it, stripped of front fenders and headlamps. Reo?

I am thinking that this car maybe a Hupp???.....It looks very like to ones that were posted a while back.

 

Morris was quite an enigmatic woman. BUT, anyone's
gotta admit that she thought for herself! The daughter
of a French general, she took to wearing men's clothing
early on and excelled at auto racing. She reportedly
smoked three packs a day and swore a blue streak. The
site, the selvedgeyard, stated that she actually joined the
Gestapo in France as an operative, not a mere collaborator!
Yow! In 1944 as she and others drove in a car from Nor-
mandy to Paris, French Resistance guerillas bombed the
car, killing all occupants. C'est la vie!

The location might be San Francisco. Can anyone ID the putt-putt?

 

Poor but interesting photos of a T speedster......

 

Another poor photo but it is an interesting lowered T GOW JOB, the photo was taken in 1929 in Central California.

 

Peerless, maybe 1910?

 

Interesting, that is a 23-25 Touring car front with a 26-27 Roadster turtle deck attached to it. Can the rear suspention get a close up view?

 

Good catch on the body......I was also interested in the rear suspension, but the photo is so poor when you blow it up you can't make anything out....It almost looks like it has semi elliptic rear springs which would be very odd for a T....

 

Summertime in Chatham, on Cape Cod. From the radiator shape, I'm tempted to think this might be something with a Knight engine, c. 1927. Interesting that there appear to be no outside door handles.

 

That maybe a late Locomobile model 90 or a 8-70 from 1925-27. It has the distinctive Loco headlamps with the old style chimneys on top and the radiator has the same late Loco profile.

 

Not a REO because they did not use gilled-tube radiators. That radiator would put the date back to 1903-4.

 

Looks like it - Model N 1916-17 - http://www.vccansw.org/photos/img234.jpg

 

An Hispano-Suiza but is it an early H6 (circa 1919) or one of the Spanish models?

 

Can anyone ID this 25-30 HP Automobile ??

 

I think I see a glimpse of frame horns of elliptical in front as well, plus the wheel base is too long...could be a Chev or Dodge frame...or it has Semi Elliptical conversions, which they did make for T's....real rare though.

 

They say that timing is everything......

 

This may be the original "Hold my beer, watch this!"

 

She'd never do anything like that!

 

The first photo looks like the poor womens wedding day......And she spent the rest of her life on this Fordson.....
