I remember the Gobron-Brillie, that instantly was on my mind when I saw the Wolseley. The stripes are a cool look, and even better in color than the black and white I just posted above. For some reason I can't understand, the "reply" function is NOT working! I had to add a comment because Reply wouldn't function
We'll see if the reply function works here. I've noticed an issue with Blogger where the "Newer Post" link doesn't always work. I got behind on Daily Timewaster, and I've been trying to catch up. I have to pick a date and use the "Older Post" link to go through his posts, instead of going with the newer ones. The same thing happens on JACG, but it takes a few posts to keep repeating the same one.
Blogger has never gotten IT support from Google, they have often had it fall apart. I'm surprised they ever get around to fixing anything, as there is no money involved in the blog service, they don't sell ads.
Your responder Marc B above should know that Google image search was wrong on this occasion. The car is not a Wolseley. Rather, it is a British-made 1911 Crossley of about 15 hp. The vertically striped paint work was a style known as 'Dutch Planck' and was not uncommon at the time although costly to apply.
no one is, there were hundreds of garage made cars, from guys who have it a shot, but didn't get into more than a few cars. They built really WELL, and their creations have lasted forever, but there were too many, in ANY country, for any of us to have a handle on them. I've been doing this only 19 years, and can say that unless a person is focused on brass era far more often, probably weekly, they'll never see any one make enough to learn the identifying features well enough to memorize them. Now, multiply that time 500 per country, French, English, German, American, Italian. I think that gets the biggest
Google Image search says it is a 1913 Wolseley 24/30HP Open Tourer.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to find any other vertically striped cars online. Here is a 1914 Napier -

Deletethis reminds me that last week Blogger was glitching bad, so, that's probably what it's doing right now

ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction. That's why I said that it was Google's answer. I'm not knowledgeable about many brass-era cars.
Deleteno one is, there were hundreds of garage made cars, from guys who have it a shot, but didn't get into more than a few cars. They built really WELL, and their creations have lasted forever, but there were too many, in ANY country, for any of us to have a handle on them.

DeleteThanks Grant! Huh... they even named that style, cool!
