Dubitably

Wendax · January 25, 2012, 12:34:47 PM

American?

Otto Puzzell · January 25, 2012, 02:32:18 PM

Quite

One-off?

Otto Puzzell · January 25, 2012, 04:07:51 PM

Yes

To the hole

When new, it was equipped with an engine from an established manufacturer. The builder later constructed and installed an engine of his own design.

And it lived in a muddy place, but weren't they all at the time?

These guys might help you to look in the right place...

When the puzzle picture was taken, that car was as old as yours truly will be for a total of 359 days this year.

From the US of A?

Otto Puzzell · May 28, 2012, 02:10:25 AM

Those guys and the car are from the same place. That place is in the US

For some reasons the puzzle picture looks utterly familiar. Anyhow, do you mean the puzzle survived the 2nd WW?

Otto Puzzell · May 28, 2012, 04:44:58 AM

Yes, it did

Clue: Isaac Funk & Woody Hayes. Isaac Hayes? The only thing I think of when I hear of Isaac Hayes is "Shaft." Could the car be called a Shaft?

Ohio.

It shares a lot of characteristics with a 1903 Peerless, but I cannot find a specific reference to this car.

pnegyesi · May 29, 2012, 02:29:20 AM

To be more precise: Clifton, Ohio.

Was this a one-off?

Those are the guys. But you've otherwise extrapolated too far.

Not a Peerless; not from 1903.
