IDENTIFICATION AND
DATING:
1900 Daimler Tonneau
Another photo received from Ken Brown,
Hampshire (UK)
who says always a pleasure looking through the Help Pages.
Perhaps we would enjoy the challenge of identifying a few mystery car
photos from his collection. Looks forward to items appearing on the
SVVS website. --
Blurry photo but two of our experts feel
this could well be a cca
1900 Daimler Tonneau. This car looks
to have been wheel-steered from new, not converted as so many tiller
steered Daimlers, suggesting the c1900.

Renault Special
Another photo received from Ken Brown,
Hampshire (UK)
who says always a pleasure looking through the Help Pages.
Perhaps we would enjoy the challenge of identifying a few mystery car
photos from his collection. --
Blurry photo but two of our experts feel
this could well be a home-made update of a cca
1901 Renault single-cylinder 3-seater.
Full elliptic springs front and rear and the large side lever. Also the
wire wheels with larger diameter rear wheels. Against is the side gear
lever.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING: Possibly
c1911 Benz Sports
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought another batch of pictures and thinks this one may have been
taken in Romania. Can we identify the vehicle.
Neamt monastery parcel transport 1943. --
Another one which is not at all easy by having parts not visible and
others obscured by people blocking most of
the identification features. This is not a positive identification
but a couple of our experts think this could be
a
cca 1911 Benz Tourer.

IDENTIFICATION AND
DATING:
1912 Cadillac Model 30 Roadster
Photo received from Sandy Nairne (UK)
saying " Lord Desborough, outside
Taplow Court, with daughter Imogen. Researching his life, in the diary
of his other daughter, Monica, refers in 1910 to the purchase of 'our
first family motor ... a Rothwell, with harsh gears, on which I learnt
to drive in 1913." --
Definitely not a British Rothwell, but our experts feel it is a pretty
British bodied Detroit American cca
1912 Cadillac Model 30 Roadster with
fixed Dickey Seat (Rumble Seat or Spider Seat).

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING: 1912
Studebaker Flanders 20
Another fascinating photograph from our
regular contributor Cicos Florin in Constanta by the Black Sea (Romania)
who is interested in old cars of Romania. Do we know what
this is? -- The
shape of the radiator and bonnet suggest an American car, a
Flanders, but the indiscernible script on the rad suggests
Studebaker, so is cca
1912 Studebaker Flanders 20. Walter
Flanders, ex Ford, founded EMF and then Flanders whose distributors
were Studebaker Bros, who took them over in 1912.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1913
Aries S5 Camionette
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought three pictures of 7 trucks and 2 automobiles, probably
from the Romanian army in the WWI. Can we identify the vehicles and
also if the army is Romanian or not ? The first car he thinks is a
Delahaye.
-- Our Moscow expert on army uniforms, Andrew Kostin,
advised he feels uniforms could be more Austrian than Romania. The second car left is a
French Paris made
cca 1913 Aries
S5 Camionette.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1914
DelahayeType 32 Torpedo
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought three pictures of 7 trucks and 2 automobiles, probably
from the Romanian army in the WWI. Can we identify the vehicles and
also if the army is Romanian or not ? Is first car Delahaye?
-- We
contacted our Moscow expert on army uniforms, Andrew Kostin, who
advised he feels uniforms could be more Austrian than Romanian.
The first car is indeed a French
cca 1914 Delahaye Type 32
Torpedo.

bought three pictures of 7 trucks and 2 automobiles, probably
from the Romanian army in the WWI. Can we identify the vehicles and
also if the army is Romanian or not ? The first car he thinks is a

-- Our Moscow expert on army uniforms, Andrew Kostin,
advised he feels uniforms could be more Austrian than Romania. The batch of lorries are American,
and cca 1918 Packard 3 Ton
Amy Trucks.

IDENTIFICATION AND
DATING:
1920 Belsize 15'20 Two Seater
Another photo received from Ken Brown,
Hampshire (UK)
who says always a pleasure looking through the Help Pages.
Perhaps we would enjoy the challenge of identifying a few mystery car
photos from his collection. --
Very grainy and indistinct photo making positive identification very
difficult. Our Tony Oakes feels this may be a Belsize Bradshaw, but as has
dumbirons, is therefore probably a cca
1920 Belsize 15'20 Two Seater, towing
a very early car-pulled Eccles Caravan.

IDENTIFICATION AND
DATING:
1921 Studebaker Big Six Touring
Photo received from Simon
Prentis (UK)
saying " Can you work your
identification magic on this vehicle too, please? It belonged to my
grandfather when he was living in Singapore. I think the photos date
from around 1925. Singapore plate. --
American car manufactured in South Bend, Indiana by company founded
1852 making wheelbarrows in Placerville for the Gold Rush. From the
square shaped headlamps and rad shape, this can be deduced as cca
1921 Studebaker Big Six Touring.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:Possibly
c1925 Excelsior Super X
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought another batch of pictures and thinks this one may not have been
taken in Romania. Can we identify?
--
Not really! The quality of original photos is too poor to be able to
pull out any identification features. Our Robin Vince is puzzled by
sidecar on the left suggesting driving on left. Possibly an American
made cca
1925 Super X with
a 746cc V twin engine,
produced by Excelsior Motor Mfg in
Chicago.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1926
Nash Six Touring
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought another batch of pictures and thinks this one may have been
taken in Romania. Can we identify the vehicle.
--
Very small and very blurry photos with the car in the far distance. Not
really enough data to enlarge and pull out identification details but
we think the car is American and
is from late 1920s. From the pillars, wheels and radiator, it looks
very much like c1926
Nash Six Touring. Cow powered !

IDENTIFICATION AND
DATING:1927
Willys Knight Sedan
Another photo received from our regular
contributor Raoul
Rainer from Stuttgart (Germany) from
a batch of photos he purchased recently and has on a big website on line.
Lovely photo of perhaps a Packard in front and Chenard & Walcker
behind. --
Left car appears at first glance to be a Packard but some features do
not add up; no scallops on rad. Further research advises it is a cca
1927 Willys Knight Sedan. The front of
the roof overhang, no sun visor, suggests it could be
a 66 or perhaps 70A.

IDENTIFICATION AND
DATING:1927
Chenard & Walcker
Another photo received from our regular contributor Raoul Rainer from
Stuttgart (Germany) from
a batch of photos he purchased recently and has on a big website on
line. Lovely photo of perhaps a Packard in front and Chanard &
Walcker behind. --
Car at the back is indeed a French Chenard & Walcker. Why are most
Right Hand Drive? Difficult to date; unribbed mudguards, low cross bar
and complex headlamp supports, front brakes, tight oval rad; so
probbaly c1927
Conduite Interieure, Y3?

IDENTIFICATION AND
DATING:
1928 Wolseley 16'45 Open Tourer
Photo received from Simon
Prentis (UK)
saying " I have another
vehicle I'd like help identifying, please. The date is about 1930, and
the photo was taken in Kent. My grandfather (driving) had probably
hired it for the summer as he was on leave from Singapore where he was
a rubber broker. --
What little of the car that can be seen says cca
1928 Wolseley 16'45 Open Tourer.
Wolseley was biggest manufacturer in UK but over-expanded, went
bust, was purchased by William Morris 1927.

Sedan
Another photograph received from George

who collects car photos. He
bought another batch of pictures and thinks this one may have been
taken in Romania. Can we identify the vehicle.
--Another
very small and very blurry photo. Not
really enough data to enlarge and pull out identification details but
we think the car on the left is American, built in Kenosha,
Wisconsin, and
looks very much like another cca
1928 Nash Six Sedan. Must
have had a good local Agent!cca

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1930
Nash 450 Six Sedan
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought another batch of pictures and thinks this one may have been
taken in Romania. Can we identify the vehicle.
-- Car
is American and from the turn of the 1930s, so we confirmed with our
Mark Dawber that this is a cca
1930 Nash 450 Six Sedan. The shields on
the hubcaps confirm Nash. Also the distinctive molding along the lower
edge of the windows. Based on the old Ajax with the side
valve engine.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1931
and 1928 Nash Six Sedans
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought another batch of pictures and thinks this one may have been
taken in Romania. Can we identify the vehicle.
-- Car
on the left is American and from the turn of the 1930s being a cca
1931 Nash Six Sedan. The
car on the right is also a Nash but this one is from late 1920s, a
cca 1928 Nash Six Sedan, built in
Kenosha, Wisconsin. Later became Nash-Kelvinator,
then American Motors, later Chrysler.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:Possibly
c1931 Delage Lorry
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought another batch of pictures and thinks this one may have been
taken in Romania. Can we identify the vehicle.
-- Titled 'Slanic-Moldova'
which is a very attractive spa town in Romania on the slope of the
Eastern Carpathians by river Slanic. The lorry is a little more difficult
to identify. This is not a positive ID but we feel this could be a cca1931
Delage Lorry. Trucks/fireengines was
then their main business.

IDENTIFICATION AND
DATING:
1931 DeSoto SA Seadan
Photo received from Maurice Wilkins from
Oban in Scotland (UK)
saying " Any chance that you might be
able to identify the car in the attached picture please? Many thanks. --
Registration UB 7095 was issued by Leeds County Borough Council in late
1933, which is just a little bit odd because the car is American and
the shape of the radiator suggests it is a
cca 1931 DeSoto SA Seadan. Also
possibly a cheaper brand of the 'Chrysler' assembled
in Kew in London, with superior
trim and 12V.

IDENTIFICATION AND
DATING:
1931 Wolseley Viper Saloon
Photo received from Richard Warren (UK)
saying " Please help, this is my
great grandfather with his two sons. He died 1933, all the company cars
look new. Many thanks. --
Registration is Wallasey CBC near Liverpool. The illuminated badge on
the radiator helps to advise this is a car made in Birmingham by
Wolseley Motors Ltd. The radiator louvres being in three groups of
seven and the registration pinpoint it to being a cca
1931 Wolseley Viper Saloon made under
William Morris stewardship.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1934
Chevrolet 1.5 Ton Charabanc
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought another batch of pictures and thinks this one may have been
taken in Romania. Can we identify the vehicle.
--
Another one which is not at all easy having no body and having most of
the front of the vehicle missing. Our Mark Dawber spotted the four
louvres; those are the only louvres - no more further
forward; which suggested cca
1934 Chevrolet 1.5 Ton Truck,
converted to a Charabanc.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:
1937 Blackburn Baffin
Torpedo Bomber
Another amusing photo c/o our regular contributor and expert Mark
Dawber (New Zealand).
The car sharing the forecourt with a biplane could be a
Armstrong Siddeley 14? --
Indeed a British cca
1926 Armstrong Siddeley 14'4 Broadway Saloon.
Further research also established from our Derek Wright that biplane is
likely a radial engined cca 1937 Blackburn Baffin Torpedo Bomber, built
in Brough, Yorkshire. 29 were acquired by RNZAF and few were converted
to training aircraft.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1938
Opel Blitz Bus
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought another batch of pictures and thinks this one may have been
taken in Romania. Can we identify the vehicle.
--
Another one which is not at all easy by having people blocking most of
the identification features. We are however relatively sure this bus
was German made by an American company General Motors. This seems to be
c1938
Opel Blitz 70HP Bus, made in
Brandenberg. Chev-like engine.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1941
Mercedes Benz L3000 Lorry
Another photograph received from George
Nica (Romania)
who collects car photos. He
bought another batch of pictures and thinks this one may have been
taken in Romania. Can we identify the vehicle.
Neamt monastery parcel transport 1943. --
Another one which is not at all easy by having people blocking most of
the identification features. This lorry is German made as it seems to
have a three pointed star emblem on radiator suggesting probably a cca
1941 Mercedes Benz L3000 Lorry.
