Harry P. Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Remember, don't post any hints or answers here. PM me with year, make, and model. The answer: 1922 Gray-Dort Special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw1603 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well it's Friday at last, I hope you will put me out of my misery soon. Thought I'd got it, but the more I look, the less confident I feel. This one is driving me to distraction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Looks like this one was too tough! The car is a 1922 Gray-Dort "B" Special. http://comet166.deviantart.com/art/1922-Gray-Dort-quot-B-quot-Special-177001619 Who got it right: otherunicorn Chillyb1 Badluck 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw1603 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 At last! Oh well, got that one wrong. I had decided that it was a Moon which is very similar, but not the same. Really frustrating because I'd looked at Dort and decided that wasn't right and even though there were refences to Gray Dort, I didn't follow them up. Sloppy research. The subject was so obviously North American that I confined my searches to "American automobiles", "American manufacturers" etc, of course, this failed to bring up anything with a Canadian accent. I wish I was half as smart as I think I am. Well done Harry, you really gave my brain (and my typing finger) a work out this week. Roll on Sunday!

otherunicorn Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I also found the Moon, but wasn't happy with it, and kept looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Does anyone else think the windshield is too tall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw1603 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I also found the Moon, but wasn't happy with it, and kept looking. Yep, the clues are all there for anybody who chooses to see them! I agree with Harry on the windshield, it had much nicer proportions on the Moon. Edited May 9, 2015 by dw1603 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Anderson Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I don't think that windshield is too tall--Dort was about the size of a Model T--and like just about every other car on the market at the time, drivers and passengers sat bolt upright--as if they were in straight-back chairs, along with men wearing rather tall, crowned felt hats wherever they went.
