This is the only car I have found that is remotely similar.
The odds are against it as the Philos was a tiny Company in Lyons.
They only made about 36 cars.

Cheers,
Ron

Wow, thanks, Ron.

Well, the radiator is close. This car looks to be quite a bit earlier
that the one I have photographed, and if they made only 36 cars, I'd
agree that the odds are against my photo being of one of them; there is
another Philos in the French Musée National de l'Auto, and it too dates
from 1914, suggesting that their production was all pre-WW I. I think
the car in my photo looks to date from a little later than that. But a
great attempt, and you may be right. How on earth did you dig that up?

Hi Leroy,

I had it in my thousands of pictures :-)

It is now a toss up between R&V Knight and Moline Knight.

See attached.

Cheers,
Ron

I think this is the closest yet, although the downward point at the top
of the radiator shell seems to be a little more pronounced on the Moline
than on my mystery car. I've just sent an email to the parade's
organisers asking for help; let's see what response I get (yes, I know
it's cheating :-)
