Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / May 2005Can you identify this car?
Can anyone identify this car? Also, is there a way to find out who owned the car (or other information) by the license plate? It has a Pennsylvania license plate that appears to be from 1920 (according to information at: http://bellsouthpwp.net/r/k/rkretsch/LPpapass.htm#pass06-09 ) Small version: http://home.cwru.edu/~bct4/Unknown_002_small.png (270KB) High-res version: http://home.cwru.edu/~bct4/Unknown_002.png (4MB) From other discussions I've had, people have said that it is not a Dodge, Oldsmobile, Star, Durant, Gray Dort, or Elgin Motor Car. Thanks. I can't say about the car, but that gentleman standing next to the car must have got his tie caught in the crank. It appears strikingly similar to a Hupmobile model R >Can anyone identify this car? Also, is there a way to find out who owned >the car (or other information) by the license plate?

I found several listed at the site below, but I'm not sure which it might be (if any). http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/hupmobile/modelr.htm > It appears strikingly similar to a Hupmobile model R > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > >Thanks.

That's a Motometer. Early cars didn't have temperature gauges, and the Motometer contains a thermometer to give a reading of the coolant temperature inside the radiator. Some manufacturers offered them as options, and others were bought aftermarket and added by the car owners, so they really don't help much with identification. Rabbit Thanks for the clarification. > > The radiator cap looks like an angel or some sort of winged... thing. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Rabbit Couldn't help you out with the car but I took the liberty of having a 'play' with the photograph. Unfortunately, I ran out of time but here's where I'm at so far. http://shonoel.bravehost.com/ Noel Brisbane, Australia > It appears strikingly similar to a Hupmobile model R > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> >>Thanks. Good job so far Noel. I sent the OP a touched up copy also so I know how much time it takes to do. I really enjoy working with the damaged photos when I have the time.

I did a Google search for that vehicle and it sure looks like one from the photo you have ........Jim > Can anyone identify this car?
