Is it based on an Essex?

João · « **Reply #7 on:** May 28, 2012, 02:44:12 AM »

Not an Essex. Try a different location

João · « **Reply #14 on:** May 28, 2012, 03:22:13 PM »

No and no.

Dearborn? (I hope not!)

João · « **Reply #16 on:** May 28, 2012, 03:30:54 PM »

Not from there.

woodinsight · « **Reply #17 on:** May 28, 2012, 03:35:34 PM »

Thank goodness for that...
Will continue with a more positive outlook now if Wendax doesn't get there first!

Thank you kind sir!
Enjoy the programme.
However I doubt if I'll get much further tonight......
Built in Grand Rapids?

No, located within the Detroit metropolitan area.

Changed my post, is it an Oakland from Pontiac MI?

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #22 on:** May 28, 2012, 05:42:25 PM »

1916 KRIT?

Ahá! It's an Oakland. Locked for you.

woodinsight · « **Reply #24 on:** May 29, 2012, 12:17:55 AM »

This might be slightly difficult now as there were many UK coachbuilders bodying US chassis in the 1920s.
One possibility that springs to mind is Gordon & Co., Sparkbrook, Birmingham who seemed to specialise in American cars?
