TG57Roadmaster Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Your great-great aunt had a very sweet car there, indeed! It's a '25 or '26 Pierce-Arrow Model 80 runabout, the pride of Buffalo, NY.F.O.B. $2895What a cool photo!TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest austincar6 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 At this point in time the right term in roster not runabout. Runabout are pre-1915 cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 At this point in time the right term in roster not runabout. Runabout are pre-1915 carsNope, that is wrong. Ford called their roadsters "Runabouts" until the Model "A" was introduced in 28. There was no industy standard. The manufacturers were free to call their products whatever they pleased.

olympic Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I agree with 58 Mustang. Franklin called their boat tail roadsters, Sport Runabouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
