A client had this photo on her wall. She asked what kind of car ?

I said I knew just where to ask ! :-)

My question is, what do we call the type of hat worn by the chap on the far right ?
These are often more pointed at the top, but are the perfect period hat for a TT-driving
madman !

Lastly, where can a person find one ??? A fella at a swap meet was selling really
nice heavy felt examples at the Monroe Swap Meet thirty years ago, but I have never
seen any since. Mr. Google pulls up cheesy costume versions that just aren't *right*,
but nothing that appears to be of reasonably high quality, even for a floppy old felt
hat.

It's an Overland.

I think the hat is a tall crown fedora or an open crown fedora.

For a particular brand, try open crown Stetson.

1913 ? 1914 ? I thought it was an Overland ! Looks like I am getting
better with some of these early cars. :-)

5 pages of men's hats and nothing close ! :-(

Burger those hats look like flat brimmed Montana Crown style hats, they can have 3 or 4 dents and a slight peak, from a distance and an old B&W photo the dents won't show up.

Those individual cast cylinders, aluminium crankcase, intake and water outlet manifolds, open flywheel and cone clutch.
Handsome engines even if a ball of rust!

Layden, what's that Overland logo on??

David D, Just a few years ago, Chrysler/Jeep had a limited edition Overland model Jeep Grand Cherokee. Paying homage to their Willys Overland heritage.
I am guessing that is where it is from.

You are up late again! Now, I told you. Don't become like me!
