Hi West, I thought it was time to get another picture thread going, so I figured the best photo would win. Car, content, location, and other factors that make the photo the over all best posting will win. To be fair, I'll let you pick the top three, then I will choose the winner from them. Might make a good story for you to cover. I'll kick in for lunch for you also. We also could use two cars to compare an eight and twelve Pierce. I thought the chance to take a car for a spin would help give a push for people to post. I hope to see a lot of interesting photos. Ed
Ed, are you going to force me to post some of my good stuff? 
Does the picture itself have to be prewar? If not, how about an early 1960s shot of 4 Model J's?
From the front:
1. George Wallace's Lebaron
2. Doc Clemens Murphy now owned by Dave Kane.
3. My dad's Murphy
4. One of Tony Pascucci's Model J's.
EDIT: If anyone is interested I'll get the J numbers. I have trouble keeping track of all of them in my head.
This may be too early for the classic era contest, but I think a twin six is a classic in its own. Also, I would like to drive a Pierce Arrow!
The picture is of a 1916 Packard twin six touring that was in one of our family albums so the picture was difficult to copy. The relatives are from Scranton, PA. The 1916 is the first model year for the first series twin six. The radiator cap for the first series twins is one key, it is a motometer (second series used
a pair of 6's in a vee), just visible in the photo. The Dominant Six
used a single 6 on the cap up through 1915. Also, the ventilation
slat below the windshield is one piece on first series (two vents on
second series). This car has Westinghouse air shocks, and a few
accessory items, the spotlight of course, the bumper, and the canvas
seat covers (those might be "Crawford Covers" which were popular in
that period). Sure wish we still had the car.
A photo of one of my favorite under appreciated cars, the Reo Royale.
This would be an interesting one to identify. Looks like a Model M Stutz with a fabric body. Does this car still exist? This picture was taken in South America.
Another of my (slightly) under appreciated favorites. The Marmon 16.
J292 after coming back from South America in the 1960s.
A Rolls Royce that needs identification.
This car is not in the CCCA list but if somebody could find one and apply it would be a slam dunk. I'll buy lunch at Hershey to anyone that can identify it.
Here is one that is near and dear to my heart and it's on a Classic chassis. Photo circa 1933 taken in Yonkers NY. That is Gustav Schumacher standing in back.
AJ, the white Stutz M was owned by a Stutz Club member in Ontario, Canada for many years, and a few years ago it was sold to another Stutz Club member in Europe, still unrestored. He seems to think it started life as a Weymann sedan, and was then modified to it's current configuration in the late 30's or 40's in South America. He said the wood in the cowl was identical to the wood in a Weymann sedan he also had.
Another Model M Stutz down in South America.
A couple of Pierce Arrows... as seen on the streets of Brookline in the late 40s.
Both of these photos are mine but they have been posted on the "Old Motor" web site.
Next best thing to a 540k. A 852 Horch.
Ed, A.J. is of course, making this an all but impossible task
That said, I will need to see what I can come up with....
Fantastic contest idea, Ed!!
An L head Mercer. This picture was taken in Boston in 1948. I am not certain what is going on but this is part of a group of photos taken on the opening day of the Larz Anderson Museum. The cars in this group seem to be photographed along the Charles River so it looks as if some of them gathered there to drive to Brookline in a group.

Keep them coming, they sure are interesting. AJ must want to drive a Pierce! Thanks to all... Ed
AJ, post 11 looks like Chinard-Walker? (spelling?) Ed
More....
