The Liberty Touring Car

I found these two images on the internet somewhere. The image that looks more faded was shot at the "Volo Auto Museum" which is 50 miles Northwest of Chicago. I don't know if the car is still at that museum or not. The crisper looking of the two images is from some auto auction in which the car was sold. It might also have been shot at the "Volo Auto Museum."

I would have to assume that these images show the same car that was owned by John Podesta. If you compare these images with the black and white images of the Podesta car shown earlier, you'll notice that the car in the older black and white images lacks the spare tires mounted on each side car. Another difference is that in the black and white images it certainly looks like the radiator and headlights are painted black. The car shown in the color images is how I remember John Podesta's car; the yellow and the red.

As long as I'm comparing images, you might also notice some of the differences between model years. If you look closely, you'll see the cowls are different; the cowl on the 1922 Liberty was more or less flat. If you look at my blue 1920 Liberty and Howard Demick's 1919 Liberty, you'll see that the cowl swooped up to meet the windshield. Another difference is that the radiator on the later model Liberties was shorter and wider than on earlier models.
