    It's listed by Wikipedia as having been built in 1923–1924.

    A photo would be nice. I doubt that with a Cardway you will be able to find a club to join. You might consider the HET... we love orphan cars...

    Hi Dyson.
    I may have some information for you regarding your 1923 Cardway.
    I have started looking into some family tree stuff and have discovered that my great grand father owned a 1923 Cardway for 40 years, and was the original and first owner. Located in Ballarat, Victoria (Australia), the vehicle was sold to a Canadian man who was transfered by his company to Ohio, USA and had the car sent to USA. I have a newspaper article referring to my great grandfather along with a 1 page newspaper spread about the car including original production details and history of the maker and a letter and photo from the Canadian sent in 1970 thanking my great grandfather for taking such good care of it etc... I would love to share these magnificent pieces of history with you. Please respond as I would love to get your email address so I can send you copies of the info I have in my posession. Thanks

    I googled "Cardway Touring Car" and found a 1922 touring car on Flicker, Flicker does not permit download or posting of their photos so you will need to Google it for yourselves. Great looking car.
