Mystery cars in Grandfather's photo album

Letter to the Editor

I have recently come across some motoring photographs in one of my grandather's old scrapbooks and am wondering what the identity of the cars may be. Most likely they are all American cars but I am not familiar with models of the 1920s. I wonder, can any of your readers help?

Many thanks.

The phaeton with the wire wheels is a Jordan. The emblem is clear. It shows an arrowhead over a white background, with "Jordan" in block letters over the arrowhead.

Both the coupé and the last photo are Cadillacs, both mid- to late 1910s.
