Remember... don't post any hints or answers here. PM me with year, make, and model.

The answer: 1924 Kissel Speedster

[Foxer]

That looks like a MODEL!

[Pete J.]

Far to easy.

[62rebel]

easy to look at, too.... that's a pretty car.

[horsepower]

Nope,definitely not a model, looks like it's ahead of it's time actually.

[Pete J.]

Two seat open roadster. Room for two sets of golf clubs. Fast for its time. Flashy even today. What more could you ask for!

I wish it was a kit!

This was definitely a "Hollywood" car in the ere. It is also know as the Gold Bug. Owners of the time: Amelia Earhart, Fatty Arbuckle, Douglas Fairbanks, etc. Very nice classic. http://www.forneymuseum.org/FE_AmeliaEarhartGoldBug.html

When I first saw it, I thought it was Amelia Earhart's, but when I found a picture of hers the wheels were the wrong color and after doing some "sleuthing" (imagine that, me actually doing work!) I also discovered that this one's a different year. :-)

It can't be a model... it has a rear-view mirror!

Yes, same here. Amelia's also had those strange slide out side seats in front of the rear bumpers. There a number of iterations of this particular car. I suppose the people who owned them could afford from custom coach work. I also noticed that a lot of them have porthole windows on the side of the top.

I wish there was a model of this car available.

[Pete J.]

I'll second that!

This particular car is nicknamed "Bugsby" and is owned by Lynn Kissel -- no relation. His work on the car can be seen here...
