I'd like to know if a Winton car was ever used in their films or owned by one of them. The year of vehicle would be around 1910 to 1924.

That might be a Winton in PARDON MY CLUTCH, though it looks more like a Pierce Arrow to me. However, the car in the film doesn't have the typical Pierce Arrow headlights set in the fenders, a design feature of P-A's from the 1910s onward. I'll have to watch the film again to see if I can determine any features of the touring car in PARDON MY CLUTCH that would identify the maker. It does look like one of the better makes of open touring car, and, if a Winton, would be worth serious coin nowadays to collectors. (I often wonder if Columbia owned the car used in the short, or just rented it from someone).
