Velie auto

[rickomo1]

Just checking out a couple of studies the other day at a Salvage yard and the old guy i was talking to decided to try and sell me a velie, while not the greatest knowledge of cars and i am getting a little older(memory shot), i had to pause to look up velie auto. i was first embarrassed for not knowing what a velie was then i saw the light in the old guys eyes and relaxed for the Story i was about to receive. Goes to show you one mans ignorance is anothers bliss. i enjoyed the story almost as much as he enjoyed telling it. Now for the root of the post how much interest and how hard are parts to come by? thx ricko

I worked on several Velie's for a now deceased friend. One was a 1916 and the other was a 1922 Depo Hack. If I remember correctly, I belive they used a Continental 6 cyinder motor. Also the Velie family had ties to the Famous John Deere company. [img]<>/smile.gif[/img] Dave!

I think it was the son or nephew of the tractor people that started the car company.
