Note the big Westinghouse shock absorbers on the front. They were ususally fitted to expensive cars like Locomobiles etc in the late teens-early '20s. Can't tell whether this is something old and expensive been converted or maybe a commercial of some sort. -- Last edit: 2008-03-21 08:58:20 |

Probably the same as this one: /vehicle_42024-Cunningham-1920.html |

Possibly - it is not an area I am familiar with. |

The front end says it could very well be a Cunningham around 1920, but I can´t tell for sure. |

I agree, check the window size and placement. |

Yes, possibly, but on the other hand this was a common body style for ambulances and there were innumerable ambulance makers in the US prior to the wallstreet crash... Even if this is a Cunningham (I still believe so), it would be a remarkable coincidence if it was the same vehicle. Cunningham offered a huge variety of body styles for their professional cars. |

It IS the same vehicle ep 2. |

Here´s a 1920 Cunningham for comparison: |

Is this Cunningham body manufacturer the same company which made very expensive luxury cars in the 1910-1920's ? |

Yes, it´s James Cunningham, Son & Co of Rochester/ New York. Read a sum up of their company history here: http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/c/cunningham/cunningham.htm |

I think we´re done with this one. The jury voted for a 1920 Cunningham and seemingly nobody disagreed. |
