I think that you could be right, the shape of the badge just under the Calormeter, and the signpost lamp are unusual features. The make was only extant from 1917 to 1924, and only listed six cylinder models in 1917, and at the very end. First on the site, apparently, well done. I don't normally bother too much with the twenties American makes, as there were very many short-lived companies, and the lower grade assembled cars with proprietary engines (which this make was not) all tend to look the same. -- Last edit: 2013-03-11 17:16:32 |

It's a 1918 or 1919 Templar 4-45 as in 1920 they added a cowl vent. WW1 stopped production and the factory made armaments' for the government and production came back on line in late 1918. 1924 they where to make some 6 cylinder car, but none have every been found. But in the late 20's they added front wheel mechanical brakes before most cars had 4 wheel brakes. Cannonball Baker set several cross country records in Templars. Then the US army hired him with Templar to drive the record breaking Templar named "The Recruiter" followed by several 1920 Templar 4-45 roadster painted white across the USA to help enlistment's. The factory still stands with a collection of 6 or so Templar's and display items on the 2nd floor of the factory in Lakewood Ohio. I have 4 Templars. Great cars the factory just had money issues after a major fire. |
