Yes, I would agree with that identification.

1929 Cadillac 341B and LaSalle for 1929 as well.

Don Carlsons’ for many years.

Your favourite Lincoln with Mae West is a 1931 K with a Lincoln body.

Steering wheel says 1931 eighth series.

The original vacuum tank worked flawlessly as did the Johnson carburetor on this car. I don’t believe I mentioned anything about a “Kelso” heater. The Kelch under floor heater was the one shown in the service bulletins (serviceman) and the original Cadillac hot water heater was from 1931. Although the radio was not a Cadillac one, it certainly is a period radio as one was not offered yet in 1929. Everything worked very well on this car and the only issue was some blow by. It could cruise at 50 all day but has a hill country rear axle ratio. Did you get the original build sheet as I had gotten it for George.

Left here and was shipped to Wisconsin by widow of George Crapo the man who owned and loved the car. She claimed she was keeping his car.

When this was a Pennsylvania car, I did a lot of work on it. Original Cadillac hot water heater and Cadillac Kelch underfloor rear heater as well and working original radio I think it was a Roamio. Everything worked properly on this and broken die cast parts were replaced. It was 100% complete and drove well. Maybe a little blow by but good transmission (first synchromesh in 1929) and clutch. Reliable.

Ovalrace25: I had many dealings with a great gentleman, John Walton as he helped me with my 341B roadster. I was wondering what the build sheet shows as the original color scheme. Thank you

Edward Stitt was an amazing man to say the least. Besides being a great source of materials and knowledge relating to antique auto upholstery, He was an author of aviation and auto upholstering books. He was a contributor of antique auto articles in the Antique Automobile magazine. His aviation literature accomplishments include: Primary Instruction Manual for Students of the Fascinating Sport and Profession of Flying 1939. Flying made Easy: A Primary Instruction Manual 1941. and Auto subjects : Stitt's Guidebook for Rejuvenation of Elderly Autos 1970. Your Free Reprints from Stitt's 1970. In July of 1937 he set a National Aeronautic Association verified distance mark for light aircraft of 584 miles in an Aeronca C2 although he landed and flipped in a field at night uninjured. Although his Father was indeed an extremely accomplished man to include Surgeon General of the Navy, Ed was also an accomplished Naval Aviator and was especially fond of U.S. Navy flying boats which he delivered from the Grumman factory and the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia to worldwide destinations during and after WWII. His favourites were Grumman Goose and Ducks. After leaving his shop of many years in New Jersey, he built the lovely stone strip type storefronts in Churchtown. My wife and I would visit to buy materials and hardware from his incredible collection of auto fasteners especially rare top items. His wife Evelyn was especially endearing and kept a large number of cats who liked to be "swept" with a broom and all vied for her attention. He kept going after her passing but things were not quite the same at the shop. He kept his pilots license current at least into his 90's. I remember that he fell off the roof at the shop undertaking a repair and I think, broke his shoulder or collarbone. A MUCH younger girlfriend showed up along with her mother and stayed. We were to say the least, dismayed at the situation but he seemed happy. Things seemed to go downhill after that and Ed passed in 1993.

Look for George Albright in the Horseless carriage section. George is the Brennan encyclopedia.

The item asked for is certainly reasonable in this forum. Many of these were referred to as "Auto Top Launches" by their manufacturers. It is without question the correct place to inquire about finding the sources for an "auto top".

Ed Jacobowitz was one of those advancing G.I. s and Brought Marlis home with him. It was always so funny to hear her say "Oh Edt" when he said something she didn't agree with. She was as much a character as he. How about Veniero Molari and his lovely wife Titti dressed to the nines, she in heels pushing their young son in a stroller through the gumbo all day whilst he searched for L Lincoln bits every year from Torino. Gene Matlack always wore the most mismatched salvation army ensembles , Plaid sport jacket , striped shirt, different plaid trousers with one green and one yellow sock. Cole Palen always visited us in the Blue field and told one tale after another and we had a lot of laughs. Ah, The Discerning Eye of Arthur Spanjahr. Looking at Herman Goerings cigar box and A.H. looking at Audi mid engine race cars in a one off photo album at Charlie Schalebaums...........

The Autocar Company of Ardmore, Pennsylvania made the first shaft drive car in November of 1901 and that car is recognized as the first shaft drive automobile produced in the United States of America and is today in the Smithsonian institution in Washington, D.C. for that reason. All prior machines produced by The Autocar Company were chain driven. This is undisputed and it is also easy to claim ten years after the fact that William Clark actually built a shaft drive "automobile" in 1897. Since we are only shown half of the text in your advertisement, perhaps your "proof" is in the other half? The 1901 Autocar type VI in your posted advertisement is a chain drive automobile.

I have a steering box and drag link with column and starter generator for this if it helps make it more complete.
