Can anyone help with identification of the cars in this image?
The postcard, mailed from Missouri, has a date of October 2, 1924 on it - if that helps at all...
If you can't see the image -- try back again -- it might just be the last image I upload to Spare Dollar ever again, because I just can't rely on the stability - apparently...
Thanks in advance for your help.
Wayne

I vote for generic. If it were a real photo of a car or even a chrome postcard with 1950'S - 1970'S cars I would try to find out the model. White border postcards with generic cars are very common and I don't think collectors seriously look at the models IMHO

More than likely it is the artists rendition of an high end touring car of that era. The success of Henry Ford brought forth 100's of individuals and companies hoping to duplicate Ford's success only a few survived past the depression. I like cards & photos of old cars. However, the car has to be larger object in the picture.

Go to your local library and check the Standard Catalog of American Cars. But it's probably just a generic rendering.
