Found these pics of two cars that my Grandfather (in one of the pics) used to drive as a Chauffer for a Doctor in Southampton. We think one of the cars may be a Buick – can anyone confirm and identify the other one?   |

First is definitley a Buick from the 1920s,the shape of the radiator grille confirms it.

More than it should be, but not as much as it could be

with front bumper removed Could Fogey's Grandad be the earliest recorded car modder? |

Ha, nah they were at it before that, the crazy gentlemen!  And this picture is still well after they first started making them go fast! You'll be suprised how quick some of the guys were going back in very early 1900's!! |
