This would date the vehicle at about 1920, but it looks later to me unless the electric lighting is a retrofit, so the number may not be genuine. The picture is not very clear, and it would be good to see the wheels in side view, but the radiator looks like a Dennis. http://www.flickr.com/photos/homer----simpson/3507718319/ -- Last edit: 2012-07-25 09:00:47
