Solved ropat#16 - 1908 18-28 h.p. Clément
« on: April 13, 2013, 09:57:13 PM »
This is a family picture, taken in Balcarce - Argentina towards the end of WWI.
All I know is the marque of the car, I don't know the model, the coachbuilder or the exact year.
So for one point what's the marque and extra point for any information that can be proved.

Is it a steamer? If yes perhaps a Doble?

I think this might be a: 1908 Clément (not a Clément-Bayard) 18-28hp. made by the Clément-Gladiator concern from which Adolphe Clément (later Adolphe Clément-Bayard) had parted in 1903.

YES you are right the car is a Clément not Clémemt-Bayard, and it's around 1908. One point for you.
As I said I don't know the exact year or model so I've attached two more pictures to help correct identification, so I still won't move this to the solved section.

The car is very similar to Clement 18-28 (watching the Autocar picture I found in the net), but the brass radiator remind me the Brasier, very similar too.

Thank you Fabrizio that's the same conclusion that had been reached at PREWARCARS, I only wanted to leave it unsolved for some time to see if any of the very knowledgeable members of Autopuzzels may have something new to add. It's not Brasier, which was my original thought, the radiator is not quite the same and the chassis is also quite different.
Now I can finally say that the car is a 1908 18-28 h.p. Clément.
