For one point: Tell me this about the engine picture: manufacturer, and year.

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

1909?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** February 28, 2013, 03:47:56 AM »

Yes, this example is from 1909

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #19 on:** February 28, 2013, 03:52:35 AM »

I've since found it, it's a 1909 Dixie.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #20 on:** February 28, 2013, 08:15:06 AM »

Dixie was the name of the car. The parent company (i.e., manufacturer) wasn't Dixie.

Since you've pulled this needle from the haystack of companies building cars in 1909 (with startling alacrity), supplying the rest should be easy.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #21 on:** February 28, 2013, 08:31:33 AM »

The parent company was the Southern Motor Car Factory, in Houston, Texas.

It isn't so hard to find when I know where to look.

I also think I need some new puzzle sources
