Re: Mystery Car
Look at the radiator of this 1920 Paterson. They were made for only
a few years in Flint, Mi. Maybe not this year Paterson, but can anyone find other Paterson pics. .

Re: Mystery Car
Is this Peterson a 2 door or a 4 door? Where are the door handles?

Pete, the cars name is Paterson, Not Peterson. Will D, also on a couple of the pics on the left of your pics, it looks like the front wheels are bigger than the rear ??? .

Re: Mystery Car
Just counted the louvers on the hood. Close as I can tell 21 louvers on OP. 24 on the Buick??? Otherwise very close in appearance. Paid close attention to the rearward angle of the lower rear top, at the childs head in the OP. Appears identical. Other opinions?

Re: Mystery Car
Note the front bumper. I have one nearly identical. After doing research I discovered they were dealer supplied options in that era. I found similar and identical bumpers on Lincoln and Nash cars from the mid to late '20's. Further research may reveal more.

Re: Mystery Car
I don't believe that any of the brands mentioned above have windscreen stanchions as in the original picture.
My initial thought was Durant, but nah....

Re: Mystery Car
The body almost looks like the Weyman? fabric bodies. At first glance I wanted to say it was a Case but couldn't find and other pictures. Interesting thread.

Re: Mystery Car
The mystery car has some slight differences to the '25 Buick pictures. The mystery car doesn't appear to have front brakes, The mystery car has 21 hood louvers vs 24 on the Buick, The windshield stanchions on the mystery car are bolted to the side of the cowl while the Buick sits atop the cowl. The cowl top extends rearward from the windshield on the mystery car while it appears to stop at the windshield on the Buick. It might still be a Buick, but a slightly different year or model.

Re: Mystery Car
Looking at this old touring car I see a very wide radiator that I think may be a brass type. I also do not see front brakes on the car. The headlamps also look like the early style brass lamps. Can't say what the make is, but I think that car is 1916 or earlier.
