Re: Darn hotrodders.
Wonder how that happened?
Do you suppose the speedster came from that bridge and tried to turn on the road before the other car came and then started to go over and the front wheel landed on the running board? It is possible the oncoming car couldn't stop in time and so drove right under the wheel of the speedster? I guess we will never know exactly what happened.. Very unlikely either driver is still living today.

Re: Darn hotrodders.
#3. Those folks seem quite proud to have repaired their first tire.
I felt the same way after my first on road tube replacement on non demountable rims.
Alas, some of you will never have that joy running demountable wheels.

#12 looks like a Commercial Roadster. With curved rear fenders, no less.

Re: Darn hotrodders.
Too many interesting photos on which to comment. But I’m a fan of centerdoors and photo #5 is the first I’ve ever seen of a TRUE ‘15. One piece sheetmetal ‘tub’ aft of both doors !! And it even has the rare sunroof/moonroof accessory.

Re: Darn hotrodders.
#5 looks like a couplet behind the center door. #11 the belts which are outgrown are used as snubers for the front axle. It can go down but the belts stop the rebound. I would think that would make it ride harder! It would abruptly end the bounce.

The coupe with the dog on the hood has Hasslers AND Gabriel snubbers.

Re: Darn hotrodders.
A bunch of great photos! Thanks again Tom R!
Number five with the couplet and center-door sedan? Both are early versions with pre-open production oil sidelamps and what appear to be the very early only more bulbous headlamps. The couplet is at a nearly perfect angle to see the headlamp plug on the left side headlamp is below center as only a few very early 1915 closed cars had. I wish I could see the back of that couplet. The angle on the sedan doesn't show the headlamps well enough to
be sure about them.
Photos 10, 11,13, all appear to have electrified gas headlamps on early brass models, while number 12 appears to be a 1912 with after-market electric headlamps.
I love the speedsters in both numbers 1 & 16!
The coupe in number 7 is odd. The left headlamp might be a Macbeth lens? But the right headlamp I don't know what that is? I think I have seen this photo before, with the broken "ditch" lamp by the license plate, Hassler shocks, small Motometer, mirror on the fender, and the dog. Did you notice the person sitting in the car?
The roof isn't flat. I wonder if it could be one of the short time "hump-roof" couplets from mid 1917?
Correction, looking closer, Erik J is right! (He usually is) Those do appear to be Gabriel snubbers! Shadows had me fooled.
Number 9 Moffat Garage the car appear to range in vintage and age. Some look rather beaten. One might be new and about 1913 or 1914,
Number 15 "W T Reid Distributor", the cars all appear to be 1915/'16. A runabout coming out the back door, another runabout behind the window to your left and a touring car behind the window to your right.
The second photo is another beautiful 1910/'11 torpedo roadster! There were two of them in a photos posting a couple days ago.

Re: Darn hotrodders.
Snubbers make a big difference, especially on a Centerdoor.
