The speedster with the wheel in the weeds appears to have Michelin Discs - rare here in the States - could be Europe ?

More impressive photos!
Number four caught my eye. It is a 1920ish touring car with an after-market fixed roof and attached "doors". One of the nicer ones I have seen photos of. The car also has a spotlight, folded luggage carrier behind the rear spare tire, and nickel plated headlight rims.

The seventh photo is a medium/large format at a distance, with decent detail. In spite of the small size of the image of the cars, they can clearly be seen to be a most likely 1910 Ford T touring car, and a Maxwell of the 1909 to 1912 "A" series, likely an "AA" or "AB".

The first picture is what I sometimes refer to as a "working speedster", part speedster, part pickup truck. What I really like in the photo is how well the wheel discs show up! Note the wooden spokes showing from the far side!

The crashed road rally speedster does have a European look to it. Detail in the photo is poor, so I can't see much. Style of the body and fenders along with the aforementioned wheels and style of the "11" on the radiator are all more European than American. Also the white slacks on the man standing there are more typical of European gentry in that era.

The Willard Battery Company is one of the reasons I live in California! One uncle went to work for them and landed in Los Angeles. Soon two of his sisters were there too. one of those sisters was my mother. In fact I probably would not have born if they had not come, because my dad's family arrived before 1895 and he was born in Los Angeles.

The one of the truck with a spotlight and a lot of stuff tied in top, has a 26-27 gas tank above the cowl. I wonder if it was connected so they would have better gas flow? Or is it just something else they were carrying?

Norman K, I was wondering that same thing about that TT.
