Identify antique car
I have never been to this NewsGroup before but
I thought that this might be the place to find this information. There doesn't seem to be much activity on this NG but here's the question : Can somebody give me the year and make of the auto in this old photograph ? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/Pfeister/car.jpg If you know what it is, email me directly at but remove PANTS first. |

Identify antique car
Hello,
After much searching, I'm pretty certain that the car in your photo is a Model 10 Buick circa 1908 - 1910. The squared - off fenders and straight angle of the front fender is the same, as is the distinctive upturn at the end of the rear fender. Lights, windshield, steering position, shape of radiator and large knobby-looking radiator cap all match Buicks of that era. Below is a link to a photo of a model 10 almost identical to the one in your photo. Also notice the seat mounting and trim around the base of the back seat. It matches the photo of the "known" Buick http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z...g/default.aspx I hope this helps. Is this a family photo? Just curious. Forrest |

Just curious. > > Forrest I often get quesions like this at the auto musuem. My favorite is, "Here's a picture of my wife's uncle in his car, We think that it is an American car, but here it's in Vienna, where he had it rebodied to use as a tour bus. What is it?" I kid you not. That was thequestion almost word-for-word and the photocopiedn was poor. What's worse is when we get it from a lawyer in a multi-addressee email - also a poor shot. To identify a car, make note of the following to save time: Number of aspokes in the wheels - rear and front may differ Attancment of spokes to hub and rim. ststem of supporting roof headlights (which were often from accessory houses, as were bumpers in the early years, shape of doors, expecially corners and hardware, body turn-under beneath doors, upholstry, steering wheel and attachments..... These will help as you look through the tons of books and magazines we will put at the table for you to use. AQ is the most reliable publication. Pre-production photos and drawings can be misleading. Leave your lunch in your car - it's not allowed in most libraries (except for staff <g>) |

That's when engineers were inventive rather than spending time merely refining someeklses ideas or making things more efficient. Without the gun, the telescopic sight would never had been invented. |
