<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 1589, member: 44&quot;]&lt;form of the hood was called alligator I believe and also used by other brands&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmmm.... interesting! I didn&#039;t know that &quot;alligator hoods&quot; were that early. Ford&#039;s 1st used the &quot;alligator hood&quot; in 1937. I haven&#039;t had any luck on IDing this car. I tried via the grille style then by the 5 panel rear window. Dodge used a similar slit panel rear window but not a grille like this one.</p><p><a href="http://www.mecumauction.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=FL0114-173261" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mecumauction.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=FL0114-173261" rel="nofollow">http://www.mecumauction.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=FL0114-173261</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I also found a Hayes touring car c1915 with a similar rear window but with 3 panels, again not the same grille.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.earlyamericanautomobiles.com/images/autos2499.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>9th down on left:</p><p><a href="http://www.earlyamericanautomobiles.com/1914.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.earlyamericanautomobiles.com/1914.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.earlyamericanautomobiles.com/1914.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I tried also looking at NY 1917 license plates. Could only find a couple of them.
