Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Antique Cars / September 2009Need help identifying this car
A friend provided a photo of a car that was owned by a relative and would like to have it identified. The photo was taken in the twenties and may be from Europe (France possibly). Here is a link to the photo. http://www.dyksterhouse.org/~martin/gallery/mystery Let me know what you think it is.

Ffom the engine cover, it is probably a Renault. Make a large copy of the photo and compare what details you can with photos of Renaults of that era. Plenty of photos if you're willing to search. If you want to see some other cars, go to your local auto museum. (Where are you located?) Be sure to leave a donation - we appreciate it. It helps pay the rent. Thanks for the feedback. Based on some additional searching, it looks like It could be a 1922 KJ or Model 40, 1923 MT, 1924 KZ, or 1925 NN. Is the presence of a front bumper significant? From the photos I found online, 1924 and earlier did not seem to have front bumpers, although it could be that they were just an option. We do have a museum near by, The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners Michigan, and the have a lot of classic cars, so this might be a reason to go visit again.

Bumpers were often after=market or an option from factory or dealer/ seller. KH - San Diego AM I always have liked the looks of those old cars and trucks with the radiator behind the engine. I own a 1914 Ford T Model Runabout Roadster Car.I also own three Ford Model T chassis. I have owned a few other old vehicles in the past years.A 1931 Ford 4 door car, a 1939 Ford fast back car, and a 1948 Chevrolet pickup truck. cuhulin > I always have liked the looks of those old cars and trucks with the > radiator behind the engine.

There is a guy whom sometimes post in the rec.autos.tech newsgroup, he owns a 1950s Studebaker. When I was a kid, sometimes some of us kids used to sing, Studebaker, Studebaker, ten feet tall, Studebaker, Studebaker, spit on the wall! I own a 1950s Studebaket grill nose/ring/bullet thingy.I bought it years ago at a Goodwill store, it is in like new condition. cuhulin On Sep 25, 7:45 am, cuhu...@webtv.net wrote: > There is a guy whom sometimes post in the rec.autos.tech newsgroup, he > owns a 1950s Studebaker.
