1916 or 1917 Mitchell Motor Company - see below

- McFeeters Motor Museum
- Forbes NSW

I think this is a VERY rare car.

Vehicle is describled as "Mitchell 1916", however appears to be registered as a 1917 model.

There is not a lot of info I could glean via Mr Google. Nothing from 1916 looks like or is described like the vehicle pictured.

However, from list of models in the link below, I suspect it could be "1917 Mitchell D40(6) 2 Pass Road".

Information on the Marque below:

"The Mitchell automobile was built in Racine, Wisconsin in what was initially known as the Wisconsin Wheel Works, a bicycle manufacturer. A 1¾ horsepower motorcycle appeared in 1901. A number of experimental automobiles followed with production beginning in 1903. With its new product, the company's name was changed to the Mitchell Motor Car Company in 1904, and its first cars were two-cylinder, chain-drive runabouts. After experimenting with air-cooling and two-stroke engine designs, Mitchell began production of four-cylinder, shaft-drive and water-cooled cars by 1907.

A six-cylinder model was added to the product line in 1910, a year that total sales reached 5,000 units. Mitchell advertising stressed value and service, with the tagline "The Car You Ought to Have at the Price You Ought to Pay." A V8 engine was offered in 1916, but its complications lead to it being phased out hat year, with all Mitchells thereafter being powered by six-cylinder engines.

Mitchell was an upper mid range priced car. In 1917 the price of $1600 was more than four time that of the comparable Ford but was priced a few hundred dollars less then Cadillac V-8 range. Mitchell distinguished themselves in the crowded field of manufacturers of the day with their more sporting and distinctive bodywork. Their good value and looks made for a successful year in 1917 selling more than 10,000 units."
