Reid Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 the first plug-in motor ever made, for sale at ebay this week ===Introduction to myself: I am an old car buff.I used to own and drive (for five years, nothing else-but!), a '22 T coupe which I had restored and "ruggedized", myself, for constant, daily use.I drove no other car during that five year period.I also once owned a '16 dual-drive Detroit Electric, unrestored, with its compliment of Edison batteries. I never restored that car.My step father, still living, owned classic cars back in the early fifties; a charter member and one of the last living charter members of the Auburn/Cord Club (joined up ca. 1953, I think).<span style="font-weight: bold">What we are selling is =not= truly an automotive item</span>,but, as you see by scanning the auction, <span style="font-weight: bold">it is an item of such great historical significance, as to be worthy of telling about to members here.</span><span style="font-weight: bold">I plan to participate in these forums</span>, as I <span style="text-decoration: underline">do</span> have a wealth of self-taught tips and ideas for making old cars run well and last long (who here does not?)<span style="font-weight: bold">Kind and cheerful regards from new member, Reid Welch, Miami, Florida.</span><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">What would it be like to own</span> the first-manufactured automobile,or the Wright Flyer, etc? The auction item offers you a chance to experience that sort of thrill of =practically unique= ownership of a concept made into reality: the first of billions of its kind.</span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
