Ddey65 ◊ 2008-06-13 20:12	The only car in the whole movie(unless you count a horse-drawn streetcar), driven by somebody who wants revenge on John Wayne's character. Two stars. I dare you to identify this one. -- Last edit: 2008-11-05 04:56:24

carchasesfanatic ◊ 2008-06-13 20:34	In my opinion, even if its seems to be a bit further, i'd put as main image the second thumbnail, at least more of the side is visible.
DynaMike ◊ 2008-06-13 20:36	By the rear mounted engine, the general shape and the curve of the tiller I'm pretty sure it's a 1901+ Oldsmobile Curved Dash. I think the fenders would make it a 1903 model.
DynaMike ◊ 2008-06-13 20:37	I was slow, but I guess we agree, Chris
CougarTim ◊ 2008-06-13 20:44	Anachronism: According to Wikipedia, the first license plates in America appeared in 1901 in New York (and the car owners had to make them themselves). It's doubtful to me that a car out west would have had them that early.

Alexander ◊ 2008-06-13 22:22	Here is a better picture of the car: Source Id is correct: http://encyclopedia.classicoldsmobile.com/curveddash.html Year, too : http://www.brassauto.com/brass-pages/Oldsmobile-photos.html ... probably. It could be a replica, as those were made by E.W.Bliss named Surrey '03 in 1958-59 and plans for home made ones became available in 1960: http://www.smallcarplans.com/1901%20Olds%20Plans.pdf

eldo ◊ 2008-09-26 23:29	How interesting that even when showing the very first production car from America's oldest (til 2004) car company, Hollywood STILL couldn't use the right model... Perhaps they should have just placed the movie in 1903 instead, because I'm as sure as I can be that the car is a 1903 model. The first car I ever drove back in the mid-70's was a 1904 Olds... The planetary tranny and 30mph top-speed were just the ticket for a 12-year-old, and nobody seemed inclined to GIVE a ticket to an unlicensed kid driving a 70-year-old car! We only drove it during the summer "parade season", and my dad used to joke that it got 3 years to the gallon. In '76 we saw the Smithsonian's 1903 Olds, and like the Richard Boone car it had the same body, wheels, paint job and headlight mounts as ours (though not that killer extra spotlight.) The only difference we could see was the totally flat engine hatch, whereas our '04 had a 2nd, sculpted layer to it (NEW for 1904!!) Combined with the fact (as far as I know) that the first two years were equipped with wire buggy wheels instead of the wooden spokes seen here, this could only be a 1903. Oh, and would it really have killed the prop department to remove the modern "horseless carriage" license plate before filming?
