Perhaps one of those Detroit Electrics built in the mid to late 1920s using a body from either a Dodge or a Willys?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** July 07, 2008, 10:46:46 AM »

Nope - none of those...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #16 on:** July 14, 2008, 12:45:57 PM »

The design reminds me a Fleetwood's one on a Lincoln chassis....

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** July 14, 2008, 02:06:29 PM »

Yes, there is a visual similarity, but not much more.

I don't see no radiator cap on this one. Any reason, like an electric car?

I beleive the powertrian is utterly conventional.

Is it a Holmes Series 4 sedan from 1921 perhaps?

Quote

The Holmes Automobile Company was organized in 1917 by Arthur Holmes, a former vice-president and chief engineer for the Franklin Automobile Company. The Holmes engine was the first production engine to use three valves per cylinder (2 exhaust, 1 intake). Factory sales literature announced “The Holmes Improved Air-Cooled Car, on which, for the first time in the history of automobile manufacturing, an unlimited guarantee is given on motor performance.”

This car with a body by Lind has a 245.3 cubic inch, six-cylinder engine that is capable of 40 horsepower. When new, this car was priced at $4,550.

SeaLion is right, I've this car listed as an Holmes (Holms!) Series II Opera Coupè from 1919

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #24 on:** August 04, 2008, 05:16:14 AM »

It is a Holmes Series 4 sedan from 1921 - no 'perhaps' about it. And it's not a Series II from 1919.
