It could be a 1905 Cadillac Model B. Sure these aren't just movie props? |

The featured cars, and any that were damaged or destroyed were movie props. The others used for atmosphere and minor roles are probably authentic. Super88 |

Since the three unknowns on this page were destroyed and have been unidentified for a year I am going to rename them to made for movie. |

After some intense searching I believe that is a 1906 car named originally name a Windsor, later renamed a Simplicity. |

The standards we had in 2007...if a car wasn't identified within a week it was probably deleted. |

Upon further investigation and examination I have drop the idea this was a 1906 Windsor/Simplicity. The bonnet sides were to sharp for this car. Instead, and I am far from certain, I think this car is at least based on an American Mors. |

Wait a moment...another car in this movie is a 1905 Queen. I just saw the radiator here and immediately thought of the striking similarity: Link to "c8.alamy.com" Could /vehicle_20471-Queen-1905.html and this be the same?... |

Agree radiator resemblance, but beyond that I'm not convinced. This one looks a fair bit bigger than the Queen with lots of differences. OK you can camouflage a lot with balsa wood and sticky tape, but it would be very complicated to change the scuttle shape (level here, curved on the Queen), totally switch the front lights, and add all the lower chassis detail below the radiator here. This gives me the impression of being a proper car, not just a bootleg movie prop, but I've absolutely no idea what. |

Oh, I hadn't seen the front view of the other one  Yeah, that's not the same |
