I tend to agree with you that the engine pictured must have been the prototype and not the production engine. Its too nice! However,there it is in black and white. I have had my share of exotic overhead cam engines,having owned 3 Model J Duesenberg cars and 4 spare Model J engines from 2006 to 2008.I'm sticking with overhead cam Model A and B race cars now. Easier and cheaper to work on!Geo.

The car currently on Ebay is the De Vaux USA model with the Col. Hall designed flathead 6 built by Continental. I am looking for the SOHC six put in the Canadian built Frontenac models. Again I might be mistaken,and the engine pictured might only be a prototype,and the Fronentac might have ALSO used the flathead 6 Continental used in the De Vaux cars in the USA. We need a Frontenac owner to step forward and enlighten us! Thanks,George<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Yes the one on Ebay is the De Vaux USA model with the Col. Hall designed flathead 6 built by Continental. I am looking for the SOHC six put in the Canadian built Frontenac models. Again I might be mistaken,and the engine pictured might only be a prototype,and the Fronentac might have ALSO used the flathead 6 Continental used in the De Vaux cars in the USA. We need a Frontenac owner to step forward and enlighten us! Thanks,George

It appears the Canadian built Frontenac used a SOHC six,but I am not certain. All USA made De Vaux cars used the Continental flathead six designed Col. Hall. It is possible that the engine pictured was just a prototype engine,and not used in the production Frontenacs. Hopefully a Frontenac owner will weigh in. Geo.

Dear Friends I am looking for one of the 1931-33 SOHC engines ,built by Van Ranst and Louis Chevrolet for the Canadian built Frontenac Six Automobiles,built by Dominion Motors of Toronto,successor to Durant of Canada. I would consider a complete car also. The same basic car was built in Michigan and Oakland California as the 1931-33 De Vaux car,with a flathead six engine designed by Col. Hall but actually built by Continental Motors. They used many left over parts from the Durant Automobile. Attached is a photo of Van Raust and Chevrolet with the motor I am looking for. This is from the Borgeson book written in the 1960s. Leads appreciated.Please pass this on to the DeVaux Registry and other De Vaux car owners. I will be at Hershey.

Wanted either a set of 2 or 4 hubs to bolt onto my 1905 30 x 3 Midgley wood wheels off of a 1905 Cadillac. Sorry no Model T Ford ones please. The wood spokes are approx 1 1/4 inch thick. The outside flanges of the hubs need to be either 6 1/2 or 6 3/4 ish across. I have two 1900-10 hubs that are slightly smaller at 5 1/2 inches across that I will trade.Leads appreciated. Will be at Hershey Tues. to Thurs. George Albright,Ocala,Fla. cell 352 843 1624 email gnalbright@gmail.com<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

May I suggest you run an ad in Gas Engine Magazine,as I have found the obscure in there thru the years. There is also an old engine website for the obscure: www.oldengins.com or something like that. Just Google it. Good Luck,George Albright,Fla.

I have that issue. Its wonderful! Thanks for the offer. Geo.

Morning Dave: Sorry to dissapoint you,but Jim Hoe only used the White truck transmissions,NOT the engine! No White truck engine was ever mounted in a Duesy. Thanks,George

You are correct grasshopper! This is the car built in the early 1970s by Jim Talmadge,son of Buster Keeton. I bought the car from Jims son Michael. Randy Ema assisted me in the deal. Jim found this Miller 2 man Indy body in an Indianapolis garage sometime after 1970 and constructed this beauty in his machine shop on a Model A Ford running gear with this sohc HAL head and dual Winfield carbs.and high speed trans. It runs like the wind! Unfortunately there are many old welds along the head,that allowed moisture to seep all thru the head and made it all but fall apaprt when we tried to weld a crack. HOWEVER,yesterday I found a complete engine with HAL sohc head on it,which has been stored since the 1940s! The owner is going to sell it to me,so I am a happy camper! However I want to keep looking for a backup head also. Yes I put an an on HAMB and FORDBARN yesterday. THANKS guys! George

Up for sale is a super rare set of wheels I have never advertised. I am posting them for sale on Ebay,but they can be bought now for $1,495.00 for the set of four. They use 28 x 3 clincher tires.They are off of a 2 cylinder 1906 Buick. They include an older but usable set of Dunlap tires. These were off of a former HCCA Presidents car,and has been stored in dry California until 3 months ago when I brought them to Fla. I have owned them for over a decade,but just got around to getting them! The prior owner kept the hubs. The hubs for these wheels are about 6 1/2 inches across and about 1 1/2 inches deep. I do not know the wheels maker,but it may be Weston Mott,since they supplied Buick with axles. The condition of the wood centers and spokes,and the metal clincher rims is SUPERB! These are correct for any 1900 1901 1902 1903 1904 1905 1906 1907 1908 car using 28 x 3 wood wheels including Cadillac,Ford Rambler,Reo,Pierce,Pierce Arrow,Packard,Olds,Oldsmobile,etc. and would be superb for a race racer or race car automobile. Will deliver to Hershey for free or will ship shrink wrapped for $200.These are really rare! Good luck! George Albright,Ocala,Fla. cell 352 843 1624 email gnalbright@gmail.com ----------

Dear Friends: Several years ago,I bought the Dee Howard of Texas collection of Duesenberg cars and engines and lots of parts. I have sold all of my Duesy cars,engines and parts as of a year ago. One of the items I got with the J-187 rolling chassis was the Jim Hoe late 1940s White 5 speed truck transmission,he installed in J-187 when he raced the shortened chassis in the 1950s. He installed several of these for his Duesenberg customers. In fact he typed a 3 page instruction manual on what model of trans and parts to use,and how to install. That White truck trans is exactly the same length as a factory Warner T-72 Duesy trans.I have that 3 page document ,and will be happy to email it to anyone interested in it. I sold the Jim Hoe trans several years ago,and it is being installed in a Duesenberg currently being restored. HOWEVER,in my searches I have just purchased ANOTHER White truck trans like the Jim Hoe trans. It is currently being removed for me from the 1940s White semi. I am getting the transmission,bellhousing,clutch,pressure plate,flywheel,etc. I will have it with me at Hershey from Tues to Thurs. that week.It is being delivered to me then. I have no photos of it at this time,but do have photos of the original Jim Hoe White trans. for your reference purposes,which I can also provide by email. The trans. is obviously used but usable. Condition unknown at this time,but it shifts freely. These 5 speeds are almost impossible to find,and are tougher than the original 3 speed Warner. The price for all the above is $2,800. It beats $35,000 for an original if you can even find one! This is a great backup trans. for your original. Please share this with Auburn Duesy attendees.Serious inquiries only please.
