Letter to the editor

 

Here are a couple of pictures taken at the Hollow Tree in Stanley Park. We are not sure what makes the cars are and wondering if someone of the readership can help out?

The Thomas is a 24hp three cylinder introduced in 1903 which was upgraded and produced for a number of years. Their four and six cylinder cars started production in 1905. Napier also had a three cylinder model for the taxi service and Toronto had fleet of those.

The touring car is a 1909 Oldsmobile model D, this car was rather expensive at $ 2750 U.S. and was a 40 h.p. car with a displacement of 336 cubic inches, bore and stroke of 4 3/4 " This Olds was over $ 1000 more costly than a Cadillac model 30, or 3 times the price of an Overland.

The touring car clearly is a 1909 Oldsmobile, probably a model D. Very characteristic wheel hubs with the hexagonal hole, as well as the 4 segmented radiator with flattened top. The landaulette, probably a taxi, is a not often seen 1909 Thomas. Id feature is the gate cover for the side levers.
