Can anybody tell me what it is please?

Me 7 May 2005 08:45:35
 I have been scanning some old negatives of my late father's, dating back to
the late 1920s.
One of them is an old car but I couldn't enhance the negative enough to
bring up a name.
As nobody seems to put photos here, I thought there may be some rule that I
didn't want to break so I have
posted it at http://www.geocitie­s.com/shonoel/Antiqu­es.html
The photo was taken in New Zealand (note old type NZ number plate).
Many thanks in advance for any info you can give me.
Noel

If you find out, please post it -- I'd be interested in knowing. I want to
say Alvis but the radiator badge isn't round on those.

I tried enlarging the photo, but there aren't enough contrasts to make a
lot out. There's an "H" on the front right hub cap and it's hard to
see, but the radiator emblem has a hint of the same.

That's the ticket, then. Based on a photo I have, I'll go out on a limb and
say it's a 1922 Hupmobile. I can't see the radiator surround exactly, but
the fenders, louvres and that odd bump to the cowl match.

To follow up, here are other examples. I think this is what it is:

 Thanks Rabbit
Sure looks similar doesn't it?
Your appears to have wooden wheels but I guess the wire wheels in my photo
may have
been an option.
Radiator cap is also different, perhaps yours had one of them new fangled
temperature gauge thangs?
Great photo.

The wheels and rad caps were generally options, yes. I'll see if I can find
some better photos, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

 Its actually a 24 or 25 Model R Hupmobile. It differs from the earlier ones
with its plated radiator surround and longer fender valance on the bottom of
the front fenders. The 23 models back did not have these.
