Although I'm not that good at solving this pre-war stuff, I'll have a go at posting some puzzles here in the new section. The risk is that what I think might be hard to guess might not be hard at all to you people who really know your pre-war cars. But let's give it a try!

Recognize this?

Please, respond below and let us know the make and model designation of the car posted here.

Hi this is an Alco 4-seater from 1911 . I know where you found it it's called Alco Speedster 1911 and in another book it's called (Model Sixty) Touring.

Where I found it it was called an Alco Four Passenger Speedster. From 1911.

And as you call it that as well, I guess the point goes to you ;)
