For one point, please identify this car, the coachbuilder and the year.

João · January 09, 2012, 03:46:46 AM

Up!

João · January 31, 2012, 05:21:08 PM

Pros?

Wendax · April 02, 2012, 07:04:53 AM

British?

João · April 02, 2012, 10:02:05 PM

Just the coachwork.

João · May 28, 2012, 02:12:45 AM

Clue : American car!

woodinsight · May 28, 2012, 02:33:36 AM

Is it based on an Essex?

João · May 28, 2012, 02:44:12 AM

Not an Essex. Try a different location

Craig Gillingham · May 28, 2012, 03:22:37 AM

About a 1916 REO?

Yes!

woodinsight · May 28, 2012, 03:16:29 PM

Lansing?

João · May 28, 2012, 03:22:13 PM

No and no.

woodinsight · May 28, 2012, 03:27:38 PM

Dearborn? (I hope not!)

João · May 28, 2012, 03:30:54 PM

Not from there.

woodinsight · May 28, 2012, 03:35:34 PM

Thank goodness for that...
Will continue with a more positive outlook now if Wendax doesn't get there first!

Wendax · May 28, 2012, 03:45:56 PM

I'll be watching Sherlock Holmes on the TV right now. You may proceed, my dear Watson.

Thank you kind sir!
Enjoy the programme.
However I doubt if I'll get much further tonight......
Built in Grand Rapids?

João · May 28, 2012, 03:57:08 PM

No, located within the Detroit metropolitan area.

woodinsight · May 28, 2012, 04:29:22 PM

Changed my post, is it an Oakland from Pontiac MI?

Craig Gillingham · May 28, 2012, 05:42:25 PM

Ahá! It's an Oakland. Locked for you.

woodinsight · May 29, 2012, 12:17:55 AM

This might be slightly difficult now as there were many UK coachbuilders bodying US chassis in the 1920s.
One possibility that springs to mind is Gordon & Co., Sparkbrook, Birmingham who seemed to specialise in American cars?
