Simplex with Cole/Woop Coachworks

[alini]

I have been doing some family / automotive research and found my ancestors made coachworks under either Cole & Woop  or William Woop Co names.  We supplied bodies for Pierce Arrows as well as Simplex / Smith & Mabley automobiles.

 

Ive made contact with the Pierce Arrow Society, but looking for info about some Simplex cars.  I know the Pierce cars have body tags which call out the coachwork manufacturers.  I also have alot of references from period books (1905-1915) that state use of many supplies to Simplex for their cars.
