Thanks to all of you that are so freely offering information and help with my Brush Auto. I am going to work on packing up the parts and moving it here to my home shop tomorrow. I plan to take lots of detailed pictures and measurements to help me identify exactly which model I have. I have got some excellent advise from one of your members on the phone about what to do to preserve the engine, transmission and differential. It is overwhelming to see the outpouring of information from the people on this forum. I only wish that my father who passed away before the internet could have had access to such a varied group of enthusiast as yourselves. He would have surely have realized his dream of restoring our old Brush. As I get questions I will surely ask them here. Now I just need to figure out how to post pictures on this forum. Again thanks so much for the friendly response to my query. I will join the AACA and find a local member here in New Bern to keep me straight. I also want to purchase a copy of the Brush book mentioned above. John

John, My name is John Boyd, I live in New Bern, NC. I recently inherited a Brush from my father that our family has owned since about 1917. My father was going to restore it but he only got around to getting it running mechanically on his 80th birthday in 1993 and driving it around the block. It was originally purchased new by a gentleman in the little town where we all lived. I am friends with the family of the original owner especially one of the grandsons. We are both interested in the preservation of the "Baby Bullet" as his mother and her three sisters named the car which was purchased for them as an entertainment device. I have been searching the web for information about Brush Automobiles and your postings are the most knowledgeable and helpful that i have found. I would like to find someone like yourself that could help us learn about our Brush. Which model it is ? About restoring it. I found this site to communicate with you. would love to ask you a bunch of questions if you would indulge me. I just signed up last night to this site and am a computer dummy much more confrontation out in the work whop with a wrench or welder.LOL Thanks John
