Talk:Brass Era car

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It seems that the Leslie's Popular Monthly listing has locations which must be of dealerships, since several are listed in locations that were not where they were built (e.g. Studebaker, listed at New York when they were in South Bend, Indiana). —Morven 16:22, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

Yep, they're mostly build locations, but some were sales contacts. It's a cool book, though... --SFoskett 16:51, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake in years?

The article includes:

In the United Kingdom, this era is split into two periods:

• Pre-1918 vehicles are veteran cars
• 1905–1918 vehicles are Edwardian cars.

This is strange because 1905-1918 is Pre-1918. Is this meant to say Pre-1905? jnothman ^talk 04:44, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "brass era car" vs "horseless carriage"

Hello. Should this page be named "brass era car" or "horseless carriage". I think "horseless carriage" is the more well-known term, yes? Ewlyahoocom 08:45, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Google yields: "Veteran Car" 7.8M hits, "Brass Era" 2.2M hits, "Horseless Carriage" 230k hits, so I suggest "Veteran Car" would be a better article name. "Brass Era" sounds like an American colloquialism to me. The expression is 'unknown' in the UK. Bill F 23:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I think Horseless cariage should be used because the other two were aplied retro actively and because i too have never heared then called Brass era. The term Horseless cariage would also include slightly earlier vehicles like the Benz Patent Motor Wagon and the Royal Enfield Quadracycle. I prepose a vote.(Morcus (talk) 00:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC))

[edit] I forgot my 3-D glasses

Would it be possible to get some, oh I don't know, normal pictures that are viewable by standard human eyes without external implements? Unfortunately, the current images are extremely abrasive to my unaltered sense of vision. Are there actually people who have 3-D glasses sitting right next to their computer so they can view images online? I haven't even seen a pair since I was a little kid. Holla back Wikipedia!
