For one point, specify the year, make, and coachbuilder of this old car

sixtee5cuda · October 28, 2013, 08:36:45 AM

Up!

The experts have no interest in this one. Time for 20 questions from the Pros?

Wendax · October 28, 2013, 08:46:09 AM

British?

sixtee5cuda · October 28, 2013, 09:21:40 AM

The limited information I possess, indicates the coachbuilder may be British.

4popoid · October 28, 2013, 11:59:07 AM

Is the base car French?

sixtee5cuda · October 28, 2013, 05:04:23 PM

Base car is not French

4popoid · October 28, 2013, 06:42:30 PM

Is the base car German?

sixtee5cuda · October 28, 2013, 07:51:30 PM

Not German.

Enough country questions. It was probably built in England or the USA, factories produced it in both locations.

If you state the name of the base car, it is not considered British.

4popoid · October 29, 2013, 03:22:17 AM

Bedford-Buick from about 1912?

sixtee5cuda · October 29, 2013, 08:02:08 AM

Not a Buick. Slightly newer.

nicanary · October 29, 2013, 08:05:59 AM

From the clues you have given - is this a Ford Model T ?

sixtee5cuda · October 29, 2013, 08:37:21 AM

It is a Ford Model T. I would consider a lock, if it would help you Nicanary.

Don't lock. I can't find anything yet, and I'll be going to work very soon. It wouldn't be fair to others.

1921 Model T Ford with body by Offord & Sons Ltd.?

sixtee5cuda · October 30, 2013, 11:02:16 PM

Older than 1921, not by Offord & Sons Ltd.

ropat53 · October 31, 2013, 08:56:26 AM

How about 1913 Model T Ford with body by Ralph E. Sanders & Sons?

sixtee5cuda · October 31, 2013, 09:09:22 AM

One year off, a Son is involved, and the last name starts with an S. But it isn't Sanders.

Paul Jaray · October 31, 2013, 09:45:48 AM

~~Salmons & Sons?~~
Joseph Sankey?

sixtee5cuda · October 31, 2013, 11:38:57 AM

Not Sankey

Wendax · October 31, 2013, 12:41:49 PM

Walter Smith & Son?

Paul Jaray · October 31, 2013, 02:58:51 PM

It was my next guess!
Storey?

What about Salmons & Sons?

sixtee5cuda · October 31, 2013, 04:41:52 PM

Starts with "St", but not Storey.

Want to narrow the geography? (not that I know anything about English geography)
