Strangely, nobody pays any attentions to this picture/puzzle that has I'd say some historical value...

That big light is a special feature of this car (for hunting?) or it's just in the background?

It is hard to tell but it could be a part of this car...

Well... it appears that nobody has noticed a huge clue that is nowhere else but in the picture itself, yet...
Title: Re: A#346
Post by: Arunas on February 24, 2010, 02:44:13 PM
Ok... it appears another clue is needed so... one of the men in the picture (sorry maybe not very clearly seen) is a direct key to this puzzle and at least one point.

Having mistaken an honest Canadian citizen for Lenin some time ago, I've trained myself to recognize the man in cars, even on blurry pictures!

Could it be a 1915 Turcat-Mery 28 from Emperor's garage?

Eh.. it surely isn't, as I have just found out that it had a hard top...

But the car is European? Minerva?

I am trying to find German touring cars with similar looking front. Maybe an Adler?
Title: Re: A#346
Post by: pnegyesi on May 06, 2010, 03:42:46 AM
No, probably not an Adler. Weigel?

Sorry, Weigel was British - though one such car was in use in Russia during those times. So back to the previous question: Adler?
Title: Re: A#346

The caption says (translated with Google): VI Lenin (sitting behind a cap) in Stoewer 19/58 on the area of victims of the Revolution (formerly the Campus Martius), after the wreath-laying ceremony during the II Congress of the Comintern. Petrograd, July 19, 1920

(http://www.avtomir.com/_files/uphoto/article_4145/25945_img.jpg)

The 19/58 HP may be a mistake as I think the car in question is a Stoewer B4 which had a 19/45 PS engine and one such car participated at a Russian motor race in the 1910s.
