Marylander Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi All -- Trying to answer this question for a neighbor of mine... we're trying to figure out what kind of car this is. The photo was taken in 1916 or 17, most likely in West Virginia. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsford Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) The way the hood raises up to the windshield looks like a Mitchell or Apperson Touring Car. This is a 1916 Apperson I found online. Looks very similar. Edited April 4, 2016 by Kingsford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hmm... very close for sure. Thanks! Your suggestion of a Mitchell let me to finding this, a 1916 Davis tourer. GW Davis Motor Car Co. operated out of Richmond, IN and Baltimore, MD, so geographically it could make sense. There seem to be some differences in the compartments under the doors, and the car In my pic seems to have more of a number on the front, but those could of course have been optional bits.

Rich Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The picture says Tyler and it's hard to find many good pics of Tylers. But it sure looks like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi Rich - Tyler is the name of my neighbors, so that's a red-herring -- it's just the file name. Although, wouldn't that be ironic if it was a family company? I may need to google that. Hmm... Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 If you are still looking try PreWarCar.com. So much information on that site. It is little 'euro' skewed as it is run out of The Netherlands, but they cover everything! I found a Mitchell on the site, but the cowl is rounder. They do not currently list any 'Davis' cars.

Marylander Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Turns out it's a 1915 or 1916 Winton 22. The 15 (top) has the right front bumper; the 16 (below) has the right compartments above the running boards. Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
