Thumbs up Nice pic Mike;

Where did you come across that one?

This one appears to be the same car and gives a little more info;
I found it in an article in Car Exchange Nov 1986
(See Flashback Sunday in the OHC section)

Jeff, that came out of an old Chieftain I believe.

This one came from an old Look magazine.

I spy '61, '62 & '63 Pontiac's.

Hobby Lobby had this series of B&W Photos For Sale mounted on MDF plaques to hang in the "man cave" a few yrs ago. Bought a long-time friend one w '63 Fords for his new garage; of course made sure it had several Pontiac's in the same pic

Looks like a Model T Ford, but I don't think I've ever seen a white one.

Could it be gray?

it could be. the photo is pretty faded. From what I've heard about this guy, he was wild, so having a new car painted wouldn't be unusual!!

It looks like a very early Model T, before the Production line started (1913) , when they still had color choices, and Brass Radiators! Thanks for sharing!!!!

the back of the photo says May 1912. My Mother In Law wrote on the back of every photo with dates. Her family actually has a book written about them and how they lived in South Jersey. I'm in there with my wife, son and daughter. Pretty cool.

Yessir, those are the biggest "Dagmars" I've seen in a long time!

Quote:
The Dagmar bumper consists of dual chrome bullet-point bulges ("dagmars") on the front bumpers of Cadillacs, Buicks and Packards built during the 1950s. During the Korean War, a 40 mm self-propelled anti-aircraft tank was named Dagmar's Twin 40s. In the 1950s and 1960s, a blonde female midget wrestler worked as Darling Dagmar, playing off her more statuesque inspiration.

There were many concept cars that I enjoy viewing. But that Cadillac Cyclone is just grotesque!
