Nation Auto Co. flat car antique old vintage window glass patterns,1930-60.About 500! Here is a once in a lifetime opportunity,if you are in the business of selling antique car window glass,or if you want to get in the business. Please share this with your window glass vendor friends. This appears to be around 400 to 600 glass patterns,made by the National Auto Glass Co. What you see is what you get,regardless of the total once removed.This particular glass business opened in 1928,and has recently closed. They sold Pittsburg plate and glass automobile glass. I have just glanced at several of the patterns. I saw a 1955-57 Chevy,(pictured),a 1938 LaSalle,and a 1950s Packard.They have been in dry storage,and the vast majority are usable. You will notice in several photos on top of a shelf that there is also several pieces of safety glass wrapped in light brown paper ,which go with the patterns. Photo copies of these can be made also for resale,and thus be a money maker. These must be physically picked up in Ocala,Florida 34471 in the next 14 days. Probably no extensions! Please do not buy unless you can comply with this time frame.We are approx. 80 miles north of Orlando and Tampa on I-75. We can get you an assistant to load for $75.00. You can come here with a vehicle with a trailer hitch,and rent a UHaul trailer one way,to save on costs. The $500 is due immediately upon purchase.Please DOT NOT call or email me and ask for me to look through them for specific years or models. Also I will NOT sell individual ones.You take them all for $500.They are also going up on Ebay Wednesday evening for a Buy it Now for $500. Phone: cell 352 843 1624 from 10 AM to 4 PM weekdays EST. email: gnalbright@gmail.com Good Luck,George Albright

Kelsey built several hundred of the 3 wheeled cars from around 1910-12. He then built his first friction drive 4 wheeled prototype in 1916, and my second prototype in 1917. The production 4 wheeled friction drive Kelseys were built from 1920-23 in New Jersey. Several hundred were built. NONE survive! Approx 1 to 2 dozen or so of the 1910-12 3 wheeled ones survive.

See attached page from the 1955 The Automobilist magazine whereby historian Keith Marvin interviews his friend C.W. Kelsey,builder of the car. Chassis was stored in the Troybilt factory in Troy N.Y. in the late 1920s and brought down its freight elevator around 1970. Always stored inside. Kelsey founded Troybilt. For serious parties I can supply lots of photos of the Kelsey chassis and Kelsey Wheel Co. touring body. Just contact me at gnalbright@gmail.com Sincerely George

Hi Guys. I am in the process of building a replica circa 1940 gas station. However my wife says sell some iron to pay for it! With much distress,I am putting up my #1 project for sale. Photos available,just ask.(If anyone is a member of the MTFCA please post this on there,or post a link to this,as I am not a member.Thanks!).I pieced together an AMAZING Model T speedster project,with authentic early 1920s parts. The body is the only one known,circa 1923,Equipto Line body,made by the Aurora Equipment Co. of Aurora Illinois. This company first built bodies for Henry Ford around 1910,then cycle car attachments for motorcycles. In the teens and 1920s they built racey bodies for Ford Model Ts. Around 1930 they switched to building metal shelving and cabinets and are still in business. Please click on this link for more history,which I helped Coachbuilt write: Thomas Dunham Co., Equipto, Model T Speedster, Thomas M. Dunham, John C. Dunham, Dunham Side Car, Aurora Equipment Co., Equipto div. of Aurora Equipment Company - CoachBuilt.com The body is all original and super solid and complete,no rust ever,minus top irons,which I would not use any way. These racey lines don't need a top! Seats are out of a circa 1920 ice cream parlor,and fit perfectly. Cast iron backs and maple bottoms. Head is a 1921-23 Olds 3 port head,which has been magnafluxed and tanked. Looks superb! Includes rocker arms,valves,springs,etc. These heads in the late 1920s and 1930s and on the salt flats on the 1940s were used as an overhead valve setup on Model T Ford blocks. Known as a poor mans Rajo! MANY records for 3 decades were set with these. Please see this Jern Thunderbolt website for all the parts needed for this conversion: index Finally enclosed is a superb and unique circa 1920 all brass V radiator. Looks almost identical to a Miller Indy Sprint car one. All original but looks superb all over. No old leaks evident. My plan was to mount these three items on a Model T wire wheeled chassis,with a Miller or Winfield carb,and other speed equipment. This V radiator with this killer racer body with a very low cut windshield will be one of the most beautiful around. Plus you will have the only one! Lots of photos avail. of all three items,just ask. Will deliver to Hershey for free,but must be fully paid for now. Will also crate and ship for costs,and/or help arrange transport. Price for all pictured is $9,800. Will not part out,no trades. George Albright,Ocala,Fla. cell 352 843 1624 weekdays 10 AM to 4 PM EST.
