Mystery chassis on its way to San Jose? (update: 1910 Apperson!)


Hey, what's that? Halfway restoration and now testdriving the bare chassis? Sure not, The Thing is probably brandnew and it either must be a manufacturers test drive. Or a newly sold chassis on its way to a coachbuilder. 

Sender Gary Hinze wrote: "That is my grandfather, Charles Hinze, in the left front seat, probably in San Francisco, California. I would be interested in the identification of the car and the date of manufacture."

Not easy Gary, too many of these pre WWI cars have Mercedes look-a-like radiators so it comes down to details like number of wheel spokes, chassis details and more. But maybe the hardly visible radiator badge is enough for a brass dude out there. Could be a Mercer, Pierce Arrow or similar machinery. Let's wait and see.
