We are trying to get these posters up on our site
www.AdamHershPosters.com. Can somebody help us find out what cars
(Name, Year, and Model) are...

http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/50/49711/POH184.jpg Car #1
http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/50/49711/POH183.jpg Car #2


Thanks!

Could #2 be a Mercedes?

(Not this year's model.)

Probono, for an Hussar you are very astute  - or are you just star-struck?
It is indeed a Mercedes, by my estimate after scrolling past lots of
thumbmails, it is a Mercedes SS Cabriolet, maybe earlier than 1933. 
Lilian Harvey had one from that year that had a less rudimentary front
bumper.

Probo, I was trying to identify "you" on the photo of the beloved
couple coming down the steps from St. George's Chapel.  One of the
Prince's own 10 Hussars must have been there, but not in the uniform
that I found on a Dewar's advertisement (which I just pronounced with
the accent on the second syllable for your sake).
I think it must have one of the two near the top of stairs who had the
oddly shaped shoulderboards that someone was selling on eBay as 10th
H.

Apologies, Adamhersh, for this diversion to an earlier question.

Hi, Myo ...

Your getting a fix on the Merc is impressive!

Regretfully, GA rules regarding anonymity preclude me from identifying
myself in this forum.

I am in Scotland at present, acting as Nuptial Adviser to a happy couple.

the first car is a German Adler, probably from the mid to late 1920s. 
I found the triangular emblem on the radiator in google pictures with 
      adler emblem, but could not find the car.  But, this site of the
Surrey auto collectors or whatever they call themselves who try to
identify cars from photos.

You can test them.

Probo, they've got more experience than I have.  But, honestly, we've
been being unfair to them:  Who gets the chance after 35 years to
marry the sweetheart of his you  - and still wants to  - and even more
important and remarkable, she does too!  Best to them!!

Myo

Are you sure about #1 being an Adler?

There was certainly an Adler typewriter and also the notorious Irene
Adler (see 'A Scandal in Bohemia', where else?) but surely not a car?

Noticing that it was a Right Hand Drive, I had convinced myself that
it was a British car. But maybe the photo has been transposed?

Probo, you really are very astute  - righthand drive.  But I am pretty
sure the photo is reversed.  It was bothering me that the spare wheel
was (apparently) on the left side, while it was on the right side of
the other car and all the ones I scrolled past.
Adler Werke started making bicycles in 1880, and also typewriters, and
I believe from what I saw that it was in 1904 that they started making
cars, eventually (? late 20s, early 30s) as Triumph-Adler.  Made a
wicked looking armoured car too.

Adamhersh, I would let those avid people in Surrey give their best.

Nice job guys! I've been searching for a car just on the front logo
and now I know what to look for... and Adler! here's a link to the
different logos they used.

I searched all over for comparable pics, but found mostly Adlers from
the 30's on up. Here's the closest images I could find...

Same car is also on this page in the top row

http://www.adler-veteranen.de/fotogal/zuzenhausen/galzuz2001.html

I still have no clue as to the correct model or year... but it been a fun search!

The first car is definately a very early model of the Adler Favoritt,
the earlier models had the angled roof.  The badge is the very German
eagle badge, which dates from 1881-1914.  I have heard that the
Favoritt was only made from 1929-1935, but I think this could be the
newer model with the flatter roof and the rounder front.
Check out the first image on: http://designworx.org/adlfav.htm

The 2nd is easy, its the Mercedes 1928 Model SS

This is a team effort.
The Irish lad's link for Adler emblems shwos that the traingular one
was used from 1918 to 1932.  The auto is indeed an earlier model with
its un-chromed radiator with its simple lines.  Whether the ragtop
model was also called Favorit ...

The Mercedes:  I note that the line of the inside of the fenders on
the 1928 "SS" is rounder than on the model in the question.  Since
later on, this line went even lower, I think the SS in the question is
an earlier version, early 1928, 1927?

Any other opinions?

I found a build sheet for all the Adler motorcars at:

http://www.adler-veteranen.de/tech/auto.jpg

There in the middle of the chart... from years 1923-1925 appears to be
the exact car in the poster. It may be a tiny black and white image...
but there's the trees in the background... and the same building. Is
this car an Adler 10/50 PS Tvd 10V ???

I would like to confirm this from the site itself,

http://www.adler-veteranen.de/

but I don't speak (or read) any German.

Apparently, it is indeed an Adler 10/50.

"The Adler 10/50  was produced from 1925 to 1930":
http://www.histomobile.com/1/Adler/1925/10-50_.htm?lan=1

However, according to
http://www.adler-veteranen.de/tech/auto.jpg (as referred to in the
previous comment) it was produced "from 1925 to 1927".

Irishlad, in your previous comment you identified the model as "Adler
10/50 PS Tvd 10V". However, I suppose it's not "Tvd" but "Typ" (i.e.
German for type, model).

You're right fp-ga... I was in a hurry copying from the printing
beneath the car picture. I also misread the production years as where
the picture was pasted on the chart instead of the graybar for the
actual model output. Thanks!

Also, from the chart, it looks like maybe the 10/50 evolved into the
Standard 6, which continued well into the nineteen thirties.

Here's a link mentioning a Standard 6 that this young lady drove
around the world!

Steveinuk, I suppose the Mercedes in question is not the one shown in
http://www.mbusa.com/brand/container.jsp?/heritage/history.jsp&menu=2_2&sub=4
(two doors).

Adamhersh is trying to find a Mercedes with four doors.

I finally found a better match (full color) for the Adler poster.

http://www.histomobile.com/histomob/internet/368/histo02.htm

According to this page, it is a 1925 model 10/50.

Now if I could only find a match for that that Mecedes....

i think that the #1 is a Ford Model T.If it is not i still believe
that it is an american car.the car #2 is a mercedes benz.

Boy, talk about looking for a needle in a haystack... this particular
Mercedes is hard to find! I was looking through books at the bookstore
and came across an article about S and SS models and it said that
almost no two are exactly alike. At that time (1927 through 1929) they
were all being assembled by custom coachbulers around the world, and
each one was being built to the customers desires. They were coming
out of Germany, Switzerland... even the United States! Yup, the U.S.
assembly was being done in the same plant that was responsible for
producing Dusenbergs. So, with the S and SS models, you could find two
door, four door, and even no door designs. (So many that I have found
were of the "no door" design, and specifically built for racing.

Here is my closest match so far:
http://www.unitauto.ru/club/history_mb/history/

On that link I just posted, There are some major differences in the
two cars... running boards, stering wheel position, windshield wipers.
I can't tell if the number 56 car is a two-door or four-door, and I
can't find any other views of it! The important thing for me is that
the crease on the side of the hood extends back across the doors also.
Almost all of the other cars that I saw had doors much lower than the
hoodline.

I'm still looking... hoping to find the exact match for the poster. It
has to be out there soemwhere.

Adamhersh
And the ?Russian? model has running boards, and  was obviously made
for the S. Cal. Market  - no windshield wipers  ;-) (looks like a palm
tree in the distance, too).
Returning to the front fenders, I would think that ?your? model is
earlier with the higher cut line, apparently to allow space for the
tires in a sharp turn.  There was a gradual trend from bike-like
mud-guards towards fully attached fenders.  The fenders on your model
still are closer in shape to those of  the Adler, and towards the back
they do not integrate with the chassis  (still just mud-guards),
whereas those of the  ?Russian? model sweep back to join the running
boards.  I think it is a two-door model; can only see one ?foot-plate?
on the running board.
Did you ask that auto club in Surrey that I found?   Seems like they
would love the challenge, but maybe that is where you learned about
the different builders.
What about offering your poster of the car on your site with the best
info you have and also offer a prize for the first person who can
verify the correct identification?
Best, myoarin

I know for a fact that #1 is a 1920 Ford Model T and #2 is a mercades 
from around the same time.
