My family recently sent me a picture taken in Indonesia where my great grandfather was a doctor. They posed in their car during the 1920's (I believe) for this picture and would love to find out what it is. Any ideas?

Hi, I think it may be a pre 1920s Chevrolet, pos a Baby Grand.

Distinctive radiator shell, round badge, no bonnet louvres and five, instead of the more usual six, clips to hold the demountable rim onto the wheels all made me think I had seen a car like that somewhere before. It took quite a bit of memory searching, then some internet hunting to prove my guess.
1919 (Give or take a year or two) Overland. Like this one-

Wow, brilliant guys, thanks so much for your help. My dad remembered someone mentioning a Rochet Schneider but it doesn't appear to be one of those.
Overland looks to be the one. Many thanks! |
