nzcarnerd ◊ 2008-09-11 03:08	I would date this one at 1923 because that was the first year of the disc wheel option and it has the cowl lights in the lower corner of the windshield. Note also compared with 1927 this car has a painted radiator - vs plated by 1927 - shallow dish headlights - bullets in '27 - and taller wheels 24 inch rims vs 20 inch in the late 1920s. -- Last edit: 2008-09-11 08:56:14
