    Antique car makes poster

    in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell

    Posted · Edited by Jim Thelander
    spelling (see edit history)

    While on a 5000 mile tour of the west, from Michigan, I found a neat car museum.  The "Antique Car Museum of Iowa, in Coralville, IA, had a really nice collection and store.  They had a poster on the wall of 3012 makes of auto in the past 50 years or more.  Copyright 1963??  Printed in Fort Lauderdale, FL - A. Olstead.

    "Roll Call 3012 Makes of Autos in the Past 50yrs or More."

    Anyone know where I can find one, or one that has more.  There were over 4000 makes in our illustrious automotive history.

    Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! Still looking for any info, parts, etc on the 1911 Sampson. It has an Atlas Engine, 4 cyl which has an aluminum crank case, and a rear mounted crankcase.

    Thanks, Jim

    Ron, thanks for the reply. I finally did track Dave down. He moved. We talked on Skype and also got the video working. I was looking for him for several years, until I got on this site.

    Thanks, again.

    Thanks for the reply. The tractors were made by GM in Janesville Wisconsin. They are spelled with out the "P". Sampson car were only made in 1911, in Detroit. I have the only one which is runnable, and restored.

    To my knowledge there are only 4 1/2. One in Texas, one in PA, 1 1/2 in Australia, but missing lots of parts.

    Thanks for the reply. If two were imported back to the US, i would very interested in seeing them.

    Thanks, Jim

    Magneto test

    in Technical

    Posted

    Good morning. I need help solving a non-start problem. My 1911 Sampson wouldn't start some time ago. I just got around to checking it out. It gets gas, has good compression, etc. Which leaves "no sparK' as the culprit. I've cleaned all the connections, so I think I'm left with the magneto.

    How do I check out the magneto for out put? I understand that the magnets need recharging occasionally. The car was restored about 12 years ago.

    Any hints, clues, references, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, Jim Thelander

    Hi, it was me at Green Castle Maxwell Meet 1994. Someone called Del Derees about locating cars that were in "United States Motors". I live a block from Del, he called me indicating that they wanted to replicate a post card on main street with a load of Maxwells. They put me in the front row, an honor.

    I'm looking for anything on it. They were built in Detroit on Oakland Street.

    Great car, with its original floor mat, and registration!!

    Thanks for the reply.

    Anybody know another Sampson owner?? I think there is a guy in Texas.

    David Paige in Toomsbawa, Queensland Australia had two skeletons several years ago, but I have not been able to find him. Have a letter to the previous owner requesting info.

    Any leads on above, any data, information, number built, literature, parts (ha, ha). Would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, Jim
