"This new-fangled horseless carriage was carefully driven home"

Good research there Peter. Something that can help to date the car is that it still does not have electric lights.

I agree that Russell would be a better idea :-)

Another wonderful picture and a great piece of family history. However, I'm not sure this is the Winton. The Wintons I find pictures of have very modern looking full curved rear fenders, not the flat topped ones like this car has. The windshield and dash do not look like Winton, either. However, the story is accurate in saying that the Winton would have been purchased in Seattle and driven back. That was the closest Winton agency.

I think the car is a 1911 Russell-Knight. The fenders, windshield, lamps, and body design fit for this make. And, checking the BC registration archives, I find that Mr. Richard Hall of 906 Linden Ave., Victoria, (later of Pembroke St.) had BC registration number 149. Initially he had a Franklin, but sometime around 1912 - 1914 he registered a Russell with this same number.

I am gathering up pictures of Russell cars and trucks and would be very pleased if Martin could contact me about this picture.

I'm sorry to say that the car is a 1911 Cadillac. So I hope you will like that car as much as a Winton!

Please include
This looks to be about a 1914 car, so the Winton could have been owned previous to this one.

I am sure this is not a Winton. Maybe a Stoddard Dayton?
