Re: Nice roadster.
The second photo is very interesting. It appears to be a late 1917 or very early 1918 model with the offset windshield hinges and top of the steering column horn button. But what is most interesting is the demountable wheel wheels! Of course the first obvious clue is the spare wheel on the driver's side running board. While the detail isn't great, zooming in to the rear hub, the cap screws attaching the removeable wheel to the fixed hub can be seen.
Such aftermarket wheels were manufactured and sold here in America as well as England, Europe, and British Colonies. While the accessory wasn't very popular here, they were much more often seen on British and Colonial cars where the model T Ford was an expensive import bought for its quality not its price
One of the last models of Rambler before they changed their name to the Jeffery had similar demountable wheels. But the idea was a bit ahead of its time and people weren't ready to expect such a simple fix to a simple problem.

RE: wheels demountable at the hub

Re: Nice roadster.
Too late Keith. I have just about worn them out. Right in fashion though, hole in the right knee.
