    Default Old Time Limo Car.

    This is part of a picture of Adams Street just west of Park Blvd. next to the former Tuller Hotel, c.1914
    In the picture are two vehicles which the far vehicle is a Detroit Electric. The other vehicle is a Limo of some type, which I believe it's a Packard.
    Anyone have a guess to what make it is?
    Thanks.

    I think you are right on the Packard - I think it is a Model 18. They stopped making them in 1911. I think it is to small to be a model 30

    That does not look like any Packard to me. It does not have the typical "tombstone" radiator shape. Packard did not have front fenders that were square shaped and Packards were larger than most of their competitors and that car is small.

    The limousine resembles a Packard depicted in Milo Quaife's "This Is Detroit", with two young women alighting on Belle Isle.

    This blog won't allow one to cancel a duplicate post! It's as frustrating as Salon.com, which will let one cancel, but not edit, a post. Is it too much to ask be able to either?
