Trulyvintage Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) The real bonus for me in traveling the country are the places & people I get to meet along the way ... Sunday I was fortunate to visit Skip Seaton in New Salem, PA at his restoration shop & take some pictures. Skip is a lifetime member of the AACA along with: The MTFCA & MTFCIThe Studebaker Driver's Club The Horseless Carriage Club The Nash Car Club of America The Hudson-Essex Terraplane Club The Veteran Motor Car Club of America The Model A Restorer's Club He had (4) Model T cars undergoing restoration when I visited ...

Trulyvintage Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) My favorite vehicle in Skip's personal collection is this 1915 Apperson Jack Rabbit ... Skip followed this car for years before he was able to buy it. It is an original un restored survivor - perhaps the only complete surviving example of this model. Enjoy!

Brian_Heil Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have known and toured with Skip and his family for years. He is as fine a person as he is a mechanic. They don't come any better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trulyvintage Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) I had lunch with Skip yesterday in Uniontown, PA at Mark C's Diner. He is helping me research The Crow & Crow-Elkhart Motor Companies in Elkhart, Indiana. These are images of a 1942 Lincoln Zypher Convertible Skip restored. There are 7 believed to exist according to the Lincoln Zypher owners club. Some of the 7 are parts cars. This is the 3rd one to be restored. It took 5 years to complete including 2 years at the trim shop. When it came to Skip it was all apart and incomplete. He over saw Paint and Body work & had all the plating done, He did all stainless repair and polishing - all assembly and adjustments. First showing was at 2017 AACA Fall meet in Hershey PA where it won a 1st Junior award. It was selected for consideration for a National Award at the AACA Annual Meeting in Feb. at Philadelphia, PA. It won the Ford Lincoln Mercury Award. The next showing will be at Gettsyburg, PA in July.
