A guy at work mentioned he had a picture of his Grandfather - Great Grandfather and Great Great Grandfather, all sitting in a car, in a photo that was taken in approx 1920.

The thing he is trying to find, is what car it actually was.

I have a partial Reg of :

XO or X0, which is then followed by either 6,G,P or an 8. It could possibly be something else, but I think these are the only letters that match.

I can get a photo if required (probably will be) but wondered if anyone would know where I can start looking, or asking around?

I doubt it is a ford, as it has an emblem like a Rolls, and also the badge on the front is a similar shape to a Porsche, but a little shorter.

 

just a hunch but it could be a de soto? they had a flying thing on the bonnet and a short sometimes upside down Porsche type badge. i remember detailing a 1927 one years ago, thing they where Canadian?

 

Just had a look on google images. there is one that looks a little similar, style wise, but not alot else.

I'll try and get a photo sorted. It's bloody hard to describe what I mean when it comes to how it looks!

 

It's pretty similar to this

 

Could be anything, all the cars from the 20s looked like that! Get a pic up of the actual one and I'll the Editor of the Classic Car mag, he could well know.

 

Get the photo up.

It may be difficult to identify due to the amount of Coachbuilders making bodies at the time, but depends of the photo.

 

As above, it's probably from a coach builder on a stick chassis so going to be hard to id

 

ze germans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

most cars looked the same from the early days so the pic is almost certainly going to be needed

good luck
