For one point, name the make and year of this car.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #1 on:** June 01, 2012, 09:58:23 PM »

Up to Expert level.

Whitewalls?

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #3 on:** June 03, 2012, 04:58:07 AM »

I hadn't noticed that before, but, I suppose you're right.

Anyone want to have a stab at this one? it's not a completely obscure car.

Yes, please

Yes, please

What I've been doing is leaving things for 1 week on a puzzle level, then moving up to the next level. At this stage, I'll think you'll have a chance.

Marmon, circa 1922?

Not a Marmon, and slightly earlier. This car wasn't as expensive as a Marmon when new, only about half the price.

How about a Kissel from about 1919?

No, sorry, not a Kissel. But the year is correct, 1919. A Kissel would have been a equivalent car to this one, when new.

Manufactured east of the Missippi?

Was this company still in existence after WWII?

Yes, (I had to look at a map).

No, they went out of production in the 20's. They lasted less than 10 years.

Last try before bed: Scripps-Booth.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2012, 12:47:20 AM »

No, sorry.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2012, 12:55:40 AM »

This was a 4 cylinder car, which may help.

1919 Templar

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #20 on:** June 04, 2012, 04:33:43 AM »

Correct.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2012, 05:32:40 AM »

The full name is Templar Two Passenger Touring Roadster.

Templar actually sold cars with white tires, black ties, and white-wall tires. The dark panel on the door was usually emblazoned with the Maltese Cross, a symbol of the Knights Hospitallers, and also adopted by the Knights Templar, for whom the car was named.

Here is a 1922 Templar, with white-wall tires, as exhibited at the Crawford Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

That's very interesting about the black panel on the door.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2012, 05:36:50 AM »

Here's an ad for a 1920 Templar, on which the cross is visible.
