For Easter Weekend I decide to do something a little different for the #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge. Last weekend we had the newest car so far, for Easter can you name the oldest car so far from a serious of images I post over the weekend?
Here is Clue 1

@DazzlingDamo: I'm sorry, but I'm sure the Porsche Taycan is (obviously) newer than the MG RV8 (1992-95). And the Camaro from recently (98-02), too, btw. 😉

(And I might skip the challenge this time. Pre-war models with such headlamps look all the same to me—even with that obvious hint on the manufacturer.)

P.S.: Sometimes you use "#NameThatCar challenge" and sometimes, especially more recently "#NameThatCarchallenge" — I though assume the latter is a typo as it much more clunky and cumbersome.

@DazzlingDamo: A guess by clicking through the historic US models on https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford with some luck (second hit 😉):

It might be a Ford V8 Model 18 from 1932.

Just that 90 degree bracket in the left bottom part of the picture doesn't fit. Any chance that this is a non-original part?

@DazzlingDamo: Given how the bar holding the headlights is bent, it might also be one variant of the Ford Model T, probably from its last year, 1927, although I also have seen two pictures of a Model T with such a bent bar claimed to be a model from 1920 or 1925. Most other model T before 1925 didn't have a bar for holding the headlights at all and most between 1925 and 1927 had a straight bar. Then again most bent bars on the Model T seem to have a stronger angle.
