Thanks for posting the photo. I bought one of those not having any real plan for what to do with it. I think I know now.  :D

You bought a 1:1 scale vehicle or a model of a Mercer Runabout?!

As for the similarity, this type of contemporary cars did looks quite similar to each other.

Model. I was responding to the mention of the "MPC Stutz". I should have been more clear. :D

As you say, the two cars are visually similar enough to achieve the same effect.

That is too cool!  Love the patina.  Old tires too, but for some reason old rubber lasts longer than today.

It probably had some "hazardous" chemical in it which is now banned. :blink:

 I remember reading a contemporary account in an old Magazine of a 25 mile trip in 1912, that had 9 blowouts, and took 8 hours. So tires were very fragile in the 'Teens. One of the reasons many Brass Era cars carried two spares.
