Hi! This is my first post here. Let me introduce myself. I am 46 years old and disabled. I have retired from computer consulting and now to keep my mind busy am doing CG art. I have a fascination for old cars and bikes.

I have modeled a 1960 Bowden Bicycle

and am currently gathering reference photos for my next piece. I want to reproduce an old photo of my mother and uncle when they were children but can't identify the car they are standing in front of. I think it may be a 1923 Chevrolet Superior Series B Touring but I am not sure of that.

Thanks for taking a look at it.

Certainly looks right for a 1923 Superior. Pity the radiator badge is not clearer, it should be the Chevrolet 'bow tie', but does not look like it here. Everything else seems correct though, perhaps a Chev specialist might make a more certain identification.

I stand corrected Stuchamp. I was puzzled by the steel extension below the radiator, but thought it might have been a dress-up accessory. The indistinct badge is much more like an Overland too.

If you have made other things it could be fun to show them here?

@stuchamp Thank you so much. This makes all the sense in the world. This shot was done just outside Toledo and Willys were being built in this factory at the time.

Seeing that my grandpa worked there I guess they got a good deal on it.

@CMI-Cars I have made lots of other things but none Car/Bicycle related. You can see some of my other stuff Here:
