Guys bought a 1917 Lexington Minute Man. Looking for photo's or if you have one, looking to converse to start and restore this car. Any help appreciated, she's going to need a lot of work, but the bones are there.

Roj, I love to see rare cars like this being brought back to life. There are probably only a handful of Lexingtons left in the world, great find.

  I have part of a 1917 Lexington Minute Man 6  Series 6-OO-17 Touring and a 1920 Lexington Minute Man 6 Series S Touring         Also have collected some Lexington parts     You can e-mail me at  klane113840MI@comcast.net.        I am located in Dearborn Michigan 48124  Send me an e-mail with your name, phone number and location as well as the best time to call you.   My cell number is (313) 622-7707 and can usually be reached between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM EST.  I would like to find out the history of your Lexington and get an update on your car.       Is this the Lexington that sold on ebay about 3 or so  years ago out of the Yakima Washington area ???    I have lots of Lexington info and photo's of my car as I disassembled it. I took pic's to use as a reference when I start to put it back together. It is currently disassembled and stored inside ( partly in my basement and partly in my garage). I do not have the engine, trans, driveshaft, or radiator.  It would be easier to tell you about it on a phone call or two and the best time to catch me is usually between 5:00 and 9:00 PM Eastern time.  I look forward to hearing from you.            Ken Lane !

According to Richard Stanley , author of the book "The Lexington Automobile   A Complete History"  there are only 38 Lexington's still known to exist.

This is what it's all about, spoke with Ken Lane last night about Lexington's, to which he is knows a lot about.  Ultimately he's a car guy, he loves them as much as I do.  We spoke for a couple of hours and just had fun, didn't talk how much money can be made, but that we enjoyed the HOBBY.  At the end of the conversation, I thought, this is what the forum is all about, bring people together to help one another with there cars.  Pretty neat.

Does this include the Lex owned  by Bernie Long of  Bloomington, CA ?   - Carl
