The trucks (lorries) are all Fords, so I would suggest that maybe the car is a related Ford product. It is obviously a luxury machine, so I would suggest Lincoln of about 1925/26 _________________ Dane- roverdriver but not a Viking. |

Willys-Overland Six c.1925; they had that pattern bonnet/hood side pressing, had two-rail bumpers and were available with disc wheels. |

Or better still, a Packard: could be a 27.3h.p. Six, 5-seater, Touring Car, a version of which was on sale at W. C. Gaunt of Piccadilly by spring 1923 or the similar new straight 8 version available from them in 1924. Both had very distinctive disc wheels/hubs, curved windscreen supports and wrap-round canvas top rear like this.
Shell had bought into the Bowring’s Mex-spirit business in 1919 but kept the brand name. |

I agree with your suggestion that what we have here is a 1926 Packard 6 Touring car. 60HP.
May I suggest the man wearing a flat cap is the Chauffeur?
A fascinating period snap shot of what I take to be delivery drivers being loaded up with petrol in cans? |

Hi Ray
I presume you mean the Peaked Cap, a flat cap is what many of the loaders appear to be wearing. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
Any 2 from:-
Straight 6
V8 V10 |

I stand corrected. Yes, a peaked cap would have been worn by a Chauffeur and looks somewhat out of place in that situation.
I am certain that Cargy is right in that the car is a 1926 Packard 6. The absence of white wall tyres on such a prestigious vehicle seems rather odd to me. |

Cullies, some discussion on there about what the trucks were but McMullan Bros. Limited of Bridge End, Belfast advertised all its Ford One Ton Trucks for sale, in good condition, in August 1929 having replaced them with larger vehicles probably because by October 1928 they were already using “a fine fleet of up-to-date tank lorries”. Shell-Mex had started selling fuel from Irish roadside pumps by 1923 and sealed and locked petrol pumps by 1926, although some customers still only trusted buying it in red cans.
They had been agents for Mex fuel and oils from 1920 and the two Mex tanks at the “Connswater” site were installed in February 1923. All this suggests the photo is mid-1920s. |

The trucks are unquestionably Fords and Model TT. Having owned a couple over the years, I can recognise them and their distinctive features with ease.
I am still inclined to feel that the car could be a Lincoln, but so far can't source photos of a similar car from a similar angle. _________________ Dane- roverdriver but not a Viking. |
