Re: Can you identify this non-Ford?
While it looks similar, and the color pic isn't all that clear, but looking as close as I can the rear door on the Scripps car doesn't quite match up with the one in the author's post to me.Varun Coutinho wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 9:00 pm1919 - 1922 Scripps-Booth (Model B-39) Touring

I think it looks dead on.

Re: Can you identify this non-Ford?
I think that’s about right as being a Scripps-Booth. The picture that’s shown isn’t a photograph I don’t think but a hand painted picture. Unless someone else comes up with another picture or photograph that’s looks like a Scripps- Booth to compare.
Maybe there is one that been restored someone knows about.
Here’s a Scripps Booth showroom from the 1920’s so says the caption that was on the bottom of the photo.

Re: Can you identify this non-Ford?
For those that do not know him, which likely is most people in the model T world, Varun is very well known in high end and early automobile collecting circles as an expert in identifying some of the most obscure cars from the early days of the automobile. I never met him, but did know a few collectors years ago that did know him. In the recent few years he has been going through nearly twenty years of archived postings of the AACA forum and identifying many (dozens? hundreds?) "What is it" photos that had been either not identified or identified incorrectly.
I don't know what he uses as reference material. However, he sure is sharp at spotting details.
