If you know the previous owners name, you might find some information in the transportation dept, that is, if he ever had a title.It is possible this is the motor makers attempt at going into the car business. The date seems more reasonable. An earlier car would have brass inlet and outlet pipes. Trucks used gas lights way after cars were converted to electric, which would explain the forks for gas lights. I don't believe this is a made up car; it looks factory to me. Hope someone can help identify it.

I am sorry, Snyders used to carry these boxes but they don't appear on their website. Luwig Gocek used to make them for snyders.

I don't know.

I can't believe anyone would abandon this car, whatever it is. It is a very early car that has gone through a restoration in the recent past. Those tires look good. It must be relatively rare as no one here has identified it. Somebody needs to move that car inside and clean it up. It obviously is abandoned. Just my opinion.

I think these coils can still be bought new through Ford model T suppliers. The early T's used this box. They also turn up on Ebay.

O.K. I have this double spare tire carrier but I can't figure out the bracket stuck on the back of it. Did it bolt to the frame side? This seems reasonable but it doesn't seem to be set up right. Anybody recognize it? Is it aftermarket? I got it with a bunch of Studebaker parts.

I would like to get this Wagner model K96 Serial number 4F distributor into the hands of someone who could use it. It is used and the bottom gear (pot metal) has expanded from moisture but I have a replacement. It has some rust on the adjustment arm but otherwise looks good. It has not been cleaned up. (no points) $100 Picture available

Is this a Locomobile Briarcliff? Interesting that it is stripped except for sidelites.

This book is 56 pages of instructions for the 1916 Maxwell but it has seen better days. Top left corner has been eaten away completely by some varmint of unknown description. It has some nice illustrations and briefly covers all major parts of the car. Very useful for owners and priced reasonable at $15 obo.

This rim is Sold!

I have one 25" Firestone type E rim I'd like to pass on to somebody looking for one. The rim has surface rust.

I'd like to tap into this wealth of Duesy knowledge/history. My great uncle was a chauffeur for a man named Fownes from Pennsylvania. This man had a house in Pinehurst and wintered there. He was a big golf nut and designed a course in Pennsylvania. He had two Duesenburgs, in one he installed a speedometer in the back seat compartment so he could monitor my uncle's speed. I've always wanted to track down the cars my uncle drove but the Museum has no knowledge of a Fownes owning a Duesenburg. The golf course/club still exists in Pennsylvania and all the family pictures belong to the club but I haven't been successful at getting anyone to do any research. Do any of you guys know of a Duesy owned by a Mr Fownes of Pennsylvania? As for me, I'd take the car just as it is, just to own a Duesy.

Craig and others, The flywheel is not attached in a professional manner. It has a long bolt screwed in as if the flywheel was temporary to get the motor running. Also, the cam was built up on one side using babbit, as if the valve timing was a bit off and it was adjusted. This plus the lack of markings indicates to me it was somebodies first attempt at making a motor. I have not fiddled with it much as I don't want to lose the original patina. I bought a 3/4" Schebler but haven't attempted to run it. There could be a name behind the flywheel that I cannot see. The head has fins to cool it but the cylinder is water jacketed with dual ports both sides. Any help with identifying it is greatly appreciated.

I believe this could be a 1920 Velie model 48

Hey there, I was wondering if anybody might recognize this motor. It is of course a single cylinder, water cooled with automatic intake and mechanical exhaust. it is about 2.75" x 3" bore and stroke. I haven't found any marks on it, no numbers or letters. It came out of a collection in Connecticut. Anybody got any ideas?

I have a dealer showroom placard from a Cadillac dealer showroom circa 1967. It is 19" x 39" x 1/4" white chipboard, with a chamfered edge. The words, Unexcelled Elegance, are printed across the bottom in all caps. Originally there were various cut outs of the cars of this year in 1/4" chip board with printed pictures of the cars applied that could be attached to this poster. Thus the look of the poster could be changed. It has some condition issues. There is some discoloration and it has a couple of extra holes on the edge. I no longer have the chip board cars. Price is best offer.

I priced the gears at $400 each to another interested party. I came to this figure after learning replacement costs were $850 per gear. Half price sounded like a pretty good deal to me. However, I don't need the gears and will entertain offers from interested parties. These are new gears. Before purchasing, some effort should be made to make sure the gears will fit your application. I have several gears that are the same size and ID, Od but some have hubs and some do not.

I have not found any numbers. The upper gear has an ID of 1.745 and an OD of 4.585 and 26 teeth. It has a 3/8" hub. There are no numbers. The lower gear has an ID of 1.210 and an OD of 4.690 and 32 teeth. It has a groove for the shifter, a 1/4" hub and fits a six spline shaft.

Thanks, that is certainly helpful. I also have several gears that I have identified as EMF so it makes sense this transmission is from the same family. What year are you thinking?

Surely someone needs these gears

This has got to be early due to the motor to trans hookup. Does anybody have a clue as to what it might fit?

I have some NOS transmission gears. I believe they are consistent with EMF trans-axle gears and possibly Studebaker and Everette. I have more than what is pictured.

I wonder if this is a railroad inspection car motor. I have seen several and it is certainly similar. Post it on smokstak.
