Not one Rookie guess, eh?

Otto Puzzell · April 12, 2010, 04:05:07 AM

No expert guesses, either.

What's up, Doc? Shall I pitch you a clue?

No, never mind - I've just given two.

Middleby "The Doctors Ideal Car " ?

Otto Puzzell · June 18, 2010, 02:30:36 AM

Not one of those.

Arunas · June 18, 2010, 02:45:33 AM

American?

Otto Puzzell · June 18, 2010, 03:04:42 AM

Yes, it is.

Arunas · June 18, 2010, 04:10:08 AM

The maker existed in the second half of the 20s?

Otto Puzzell · June 18, 2010, 04:13:22 AM

No; this brand had expired by then.

Arunas · June 18, 2010, 04:35:57 AM

1910-1925?

Otto Puzzell · June 18, 2010, 04:48:58 AM

Yep - this car was built within that span of years.

A clue would be nice, like something about its engine which makes it distinctive or its builder

Otto Puzzell · June 26, 2010, 01:36:29 PM

Plenty of clues already.

One more:

114.3 millimeters x 127 millimeters

No

guido66 · June 27, 2010, 04:36:10 AM

So it's 318 cid, just like the 1910 Auburn model S or the Caterpillar 3204 diesel engine

Otto Puzzell · June 27, 2010, 05:12:32 AM

Sure - but it's not an Auburn nor a Caterpillar.

The engine for this car was outsourced.

guido66 · June 27, 2010, 07:13:15 AM

Mercer engine?

pnegyesi · June 27, 2010, 01:33:53 PM

1913 Rambler Cross Country roadster?
