Not Model T - date and make?

Post by KWTownsend » Fri Jun 21, 2019 9:14 pm

Any idea of make and year of this car?
It was from a photo of the Kemp house in Wichita Falls, Texas. The curator says the photo was from the turn of the century. I told her I thought it was about 1920. I would like to provide a more definitive date.

I can't be sure but it looks a lot like a Locomobile to me.

I agree with Rich, and probably before 1920, perhaps as early as mid-teens, no later tan 1922. Just a guess. Good on you for making the effort to be precise !! Things moved along really fast between 1900 and 1920 !! (And we think changes are rapid these days ! :shock: )

It's an Oldsmobile, about a '16, & looks like it's the big 6 cylinder .

Thanks for all the input. I now believe it is a 1915 Oldsmobile Model 55, a big 7 passenger touring car. I will share the information with the museum.
