GTC #16 - Australian Six
« on: August 25, 2008, 09:46:28 AM »
Here's a new one, hopefully I can stump everyone for quite some time with this one.

1 point for the correct answer.

Good luck!

The year of production could be anything between 1919 and 1930, although most of them were produced in the early to mid 20's

I think it's a Moon, somewhere between 1919 and 1924, but I can't tell more.

No, not a Moon.
My other thought was a Roamer, but isn't the Roamer a steam car, and what would a crank do on a steam car?

EDIT: I know where I got that idea. No steam car. So: a Roamer?

Good guesses - and you are correct; it's not steam powered - but Moon and Roamer are both American makes. This car did not originate in the US.

I had been looking for cars mimicking the Rolls radiator shell... Don't tell me this is a "common" Rolls-Royce!

Here is another image of the original puzzle car. According to my source, it's from 1924.
It would be great if the typo in the thread title could be corrected...
