NW Nesseldorf A Vierer
Intriguing photos received from Marek
Kolibal (Czech Republic)
of car purchased by his father. He says it is a NW
A VIERER made in 1900 in Koprivnice, then in Austro-Hungary.
He is looking for documentation for this car. He believes the engine was
originally a boxer Benz engine or a Hardy engine, but he cannot find any
more info.--
This one is a little too specialized for us
and none of our experts had information they could provide. Possibly
updated. If anybody can help at all, please contact us.

Delaunay-Belleville Two-Seater
Photo received from Alan Weeks of
Swythamley Historical Society (UK)
saying it was taken at Hydecroft,
Lowfield Heath, near Crawley in Surrey, around 1920, by courtney
Brocklehurst. (see other Help Pages) -- Relevant
parts of the car are missing but a round bonnet with no air vents. Most
round bonnets are hinged at the centre or at 3/9 o'clock. This is about
11 o'clock which strongly suggests a Delauney Belelville. The bulkhead
design suggests
cca 1911 Delaunay Belleville Two Seater.

made by the American Voiturette Co in Detroit between 1912 and 1915 and
having a quirky name Car-Nation.
Came in two seater and four seater versions, air cooled engines. See

Rover 12 HP Two Seater
Tiny photo received from Alan Carr (Canada)
saying it was taken in 1929 England
showing him and his father. It had been pronounced by Rover expert as not
Rover and not the later Vauxhall. Photo was too small so we asked
for higer res. copy. --
Early investigations suggested it was a
Rover, - but as an expert .... Later we got the larger definition
photo and subsequently a note that he had now been given advice
that almost certainly it was a Rover
12hp, around 1912 - 1916.

photo shows another American car in use in Romania. From the phos
received so far, the entire American car scene was available in Romania
in the mid twenties. This is a rather nice cca 1926 Buick Standard Six
Four Door Touring. Dating is suggested by cat still having a split

One more of a number of photos received from Cicos
Florin in Constanta by the Black Sea (Romania)

view of the photos received so far, which were all of American cars,
this one makes a pleasant change in being an European car. This
photo shows a French car made in Paris, namely a cca 1927 Citroen B14
Saloon fitted with interesting faux landau irons at the rear. Citroen
was the first mass producer of cars in Europe in 1919.

Florin in Constanta by the Black Sea (Romania)
who is interested in old cars of Romania and Constanta. -- Nice
to have another European car in use in Romania after the many Americans
which seemed favoured at the time. However,
this
one was about to become that year part of General Motors, and was by
1931 totally American. This is a cca
1929 Opel 4'16 Tourer from the
'bread & butter' range taking over in the late

one had me frustrated because I thought I knew the logo but could not
remember what. European with American influence. Interesting louvers.

Michigan. This is a cca 1930 REO Flying Cloud 4 Door
Sedan, - which has characteristic

Cinema screen grab of a vehicle which
appeared in a 1936 English film by Alfred Hichcock about a Scotland Yard
undercover detective is on the trail of a saboteur who is part of a plot
to set off a bomb in London. --
The car is unusual in being a development from first principles of
motoring rather that variations on Benz or Panhard. First ones were made
in Birmingham in 1895. This one is a cca 1931 Lanchester 21
Saloon. Lanchester was taken over by
Daimler who belonged to BSA.

Ford B Half Ton Pickup
One more of a number of photos received from Cicos
Florin in Constanta by the Black Sea (Romania)
who is interested in old cars of Romania and Constanta. -- This
reverts to the theme of American cars and not as easy as at first
seemed. Ford B it was, but inconsistencies. Our friends at the AACA came
to the rescue with confirmation of cca
1932 Ford B Pickup, due leaning guy's
arm position. Debate if cut-down Saloon or, as has straight windcreen,
Pickup. Later saloon grill; 4 or V8?

Chevrolet Master Sedan
Photo received from Sandra Wasylciw from Northern
Alberta, (Canada)
saying this car belonged to her
Grandfather but nobody is left that can tell her what make, model and
year it is. She thinks it is prior to 1951 as her mother and father took
it on their honeymoon in that year. --
The
photo is a bit small in resolution and appears to
be a scan of a inkjet printed copy. Definition is therefore relatively
poor but we are now able to confirm that this is a cca
1938 Chevrolet Master Two Door Sedan.

Tourer
Photo received from Alan Weeks of
Swythamley Historical Society (UK)
saying it was taken around 1922 at
Hawkhurst Court in West Sussex, by Courtney Brocklehurst. Lady Helen
Brocklehurst is the only person they recognise. -- Stumped
by this one. Difficult angle. Our John Warburton thinks
a 1904-5
car updated with a 1911-12 (modest)
body. Bonnet is small, radiator low, suggesting low hp chassis,
dimensions appear modest. Chain drive is v unusual on smaller
chassis much after 1906-7.

we get stuck. Clicking on the photo
