Can you identify this car?...The maker is sufficient to get the point.

targhediferro · September 23, 2013, 04:01:24 AM

Too hard for Experts or simply no interest? Up to Prefessionals

pnegyesi · September 23, 2013, 04:44:18 AM

American?

targhediferro · September 23, 2013, 05:32:04 AM

Yes it is.

pnegyesi · September 23, 2013, 05:37:25 AM

then it can be anything

Overland?

targhediferro · September 23, 2013, 05:53:08 AM

Not Overland...it's from a quite obscure maker.

Was the point of manufacture, to the east of the Mississippi river?

targhediferro · September 23, 2013, 08:44:04 AM

Yes, it was.

sixtee5cuda · September 23, 2013, 08:56:25 AM

Was the state of origin, adjacent to one of the Great Lakes?

targhediferro · September 23, 2013, 10:05:42 AM

Yes.

Might it be a Davis from the George W. Davis Motor Car Co. Richmond, IN?

targhediferro · September 23, 2013, 12:09:02 PM

Not that one.

1916 Fostoria Light Car made in Fostoria Ohio. In 1917 it became the Seneca Motor Car Company

This is a very well earned point! Neither Georgano speaks about Fostoria, so I think it was not so easy to find. I add a picture with the logo.

Thank you for the point, I found it in the Standard Catalog of American Cars, not exactly the same picture, see below, but very similar. It wasn't easy, I'd been searching since it first appeared in the expert section.
