Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me the make and year.

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids.

It sure looks American?

[el_monty]

Yes of course

That should be a 1910 or so Waverley coupé from Indianapolis.
Electric, so back in fashion now, and made after the company dropped the "Pope" bit of the Pope Waverley name I'd say.

It does look similar to a Waverley (then again, many of these cars looked so much alike) but it's not, though it is obviously indeed an electric car. The year is more recent than 1910.

As you say there were a lot of similar-looking vehicles. It looks like the coupé equivalent of a Pope Waverley that I thought of buying a number of years ago. As it isn't, at least I don't gain a point!

Was Oliver O.Fritchie involved with this car?

Surely you mean Oliver Parker Fritchle, and you are right, because this car was made by his company, Fritchle! Locked for you to provide the year.

[kwgibbs]

Was it 1913?

[el_monty]

It's from later. I was going to give you another go but if you googled "1914 Fritchle" you would find a source which incorrectly labels it as from that year, you would come back with that and we would have to repeat the process again, so to save you the hassle I will tell you that it's a 1915 Fritchle Electric Coupé and give you the point, since you identified the make anyway.

Thank You! :)
