Were these Asbestos-plates (in Germany called Eternit like the most popular brand) on the house-walls already on the US-market in pre-war-times?  |

I wonder if this one is 'made for movie'. It has modern headlights and the wheels are too small. |

I exactly thought the same. Chassis/wheels looks very modern... Made for movie, or some uggly replicars typical of some US tastes...? |

Radiator design inspired by a toilet seat? |

The lip is a bit too lathy...too uncomfortable. And a little dsl-teaser-sidekick (his fault, to coming up with sanitary things). When I was travelling in Scotland in 1996 with a friend, who studied in Sunderland for 6 months, we took a photo of the first http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischbatterie we saw on UK-territory.  |

It seems to be a twenties Brougham de Ville body which was removed from its old chassis and then fitted on a later chassis: not an uncommon thing in the thirties when the chassis had worn out and the body - which was for use in town only - was still fine. Probably a Brewster or a Kellner body, which originally was on a small Rolls Royce or Packard chassis, and now fitted to an unknown chassis. |

@ingo: Was there anything in Scotland you did not take photos of? Surely Scotland has more interesting items than mixer taps?? Wild haggises roaming freely on the hillsides?? |

It does look close to a Brewster like robgeelen2 said. http://www.auta5p.eu/katalog/brewster/brewster_1915_01.htm -- Last edit: 2010-10-21 21:54:18 |

@dsl: we've hundred of Scotland-pics. Mostly great nature, also uncountable much from the "Historic Scotland"-places. We even made piece-sightseeing, that the (always very nice) ladies at the last sights have asked "What, you made all this in just 7 days?" Also from the best Scottish breakfast we had, at a B&B at lovely little grandmother in Portree. At the first trip in 2001, we made with my K 70, I took also photos from my car in front of specific sights. Later on I've send them to the former owner, an old man in Italy, that he can see, where all his beloved car has been. .gif ":)") |

Perhaps it is a real Brewster?? http://members.chello.nl/j.baartse/carpics/brewster.jpg |

Yes, you are right! Bumper, lamps and wheels aren't original, but the rest fits, also their specific style. |

I listed it as 1921 because the fender style matched the link I found. Note the earlier car in kegare's link is different. Brewster built cars from 1915 to 1925. Most were formal styles and all were powered by a four cylinder Knight engine and all were eye-wateringly expensive. Total Brewster output was only about 200 cars in the ten years of production. -- Last edit: 2010-10-22 11:59:50 |

Only the second Brewster on the site and the other is not totally definite. |
