To the meet, Lynn and Jeanne Kissel will be bringing Miss Amy, our 1929 Kissel 8-95 Tourster. Miss Amy is only one of four 1918-1931 Toursters to survive. The Tourster was a sharp 4-passenger open car, one of several sporty cars that Kissel offered.

The Kissel Motor Car Company's total 1929 production was 899 vehicles: 416 automobiles in 21 body styles on big-8, small-8 and 6-cylinder chassis; 8 trucks; 190 funeral cars; 285 taxis. There are 14 survivors known to the KisselKar Club.

Here's a shot of Jeanne and Lynn with the car on a tour stop at the Dutra Museum, Rio Vista, California.

I think it looks quite different, and some people seem to prefer seeing the car with the top down. Here son Andrew Kissel and family are climbing aboard for a neighborhood drive.

We are also exhibiting our restored 1923 AmericanNational "Kissel" pedal car. Few pedal cars of this era survive. Kissel pedal cars are even more rare.
