Royal Tourist, a big old car... they sure were cool looking, almost elegant


I dig the headlights, I don't recall seeing this type before

Steve let me know that this is a circa 1905-06 Royal Tourist, with a 'King of the Belgians' body style ('Roi-des-Belges' - originally known as the 'Tonneau de Grand Luxe'). It is fitted with 8” Gray and Davis bullet-style headlamps of the same vintage.
