The Hoop & Dog Mystery

• 

A plain American car and basically we feel embarrassed that we didn't recognise this without any doubt high volume car. We thought of Chevy 490, Studebaker, Dodge, Star, Oakland, yet it doesn't fit. Nash maybe, nah... Maxwell?...no. Sorry, we give up, you need to tell us. Already we hear you laughing that we didn't see it at first glance... (click main pic for enlargement)

For your information the photo was shot in Holland, halfway the twenties in front of Hotel Cafe 'De Onderneming' (The Enterprise) in the nice village of Heiloo. A man on the left runningboard seems dressed up and groomed and may be an artist or the hotel manager. Note the young chap on the far left holding a very popular toy of that time. Stick & hoop. He is a bit fast for the long exposure of the camera, something which counts even more for the glimpse passing behind the boys, a dog. They loved cars over there. Next week we'll report about the Spyker cars in Heiloo, here seen together with a Model T.
