That car that Joe, Lizzie, Leslie, Earl and Hazel are riding in, in the header photo at the top of every page, is (as some of you may remember if you’ve been reading all of these posts) a Canadian-built Russell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
It was built in Toronto in 1911 by the Russell Motor Car Company.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n When I learned that the car was a Russell (from that 1975 article<\/a> about Earl and Hazel) I did some research and then reached out to Peter Findlay, president of the Antique Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada<\/a>. He was pleased to see a previously unknown photograph of an iconic Canadian car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter was very helpful in several ways. He confirmed that the car was probably a 1911 Model 38 and that, based on the official list of Ontario car owners and their licence plate numbers<\/a>, Joseph Price of 126 Lee Avenue in Toronto was issued plate number 1818.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
