DidierF ◊ 2015-12-24 16:13	So, I was wrong and the cars are not all anachronistic, here. What does mean "open drive" in this case, vintman?
DidierF ◊ 2015-12-24 16:45	Finally, isn't it the 1921 Armstrong Siddeley 18 hp rather much seen on Hollywood sets in the late 30ies?
Vintman ◊ 2015-12-24 17:32	Hi, Open Drive means the chauffeur can get wet; sometimes no fixed roof and certainly no windows. This could be, and probably is, the 18 three-quarter Landaulette. Your subsequent photos show the gap cover in the roof behind the rear door. In which case a bit later, cca 1926 Regards Vintman
