1917 Oldsmobile - pretty sure of it. Willys-Overland also used a radiator like this, but theirs were painted and squatter, and the valance was rounder. If you look closely you can also see the Olds' steel plate for sealing off the crank hole. Now you, Raul. .gif ":)") |

I agree, looks like a positive match. |

Unfortunately the Oldsmobile section of my book is mostly waffle about Olds' ambitions and popularity in comparison with their other models at the time, rather than helpful explanations about the differences between models. But from what I can gather it appears to be a Model 37 as the 45s had a hump under the windscreen. This difference seems to have remained in force until the replacement of this generation in 1925. 37: https://www.huskermax.com/bbs/pics/car/1.jpg 45: https://hymanltd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/4009.jpg |

What you need is "The Cars of Oldsmobile" (Crestline Series) by Dennis Casteele. The Crestline and Iconografix books have always been the backbone of my research. Unfortunately they are hard to find and sometimes cost almost as much as the Scottish Highlands. The Olds book is a great one, too, but I'm also not the proud owner of a copy. |

£3.9 million for this small slice. But it's handy for Wick airport, ferries to Orkney and a big Tescos. Also has been used for launches by Bentley, Aston Martin and BMW. |

Turns out Dennis Casteele was the chief compiler for the Oldsmobile section of the book! |

Yeah... see what I mean? And other than some of the Crestline books, this stately home "is remote but easily accessible". I rest my case! Reminds me of Sean Paul: When he does collabs, he is mostly just waffling about ("Up with it girl, Rock with it girl etc.), but in his own tracks he sometimes does have a story to tell.  |
