Thank you Dave, The one glass lens below fits it as well so there’s one question answered.

Here’s some more items from the flea market pile I would like to ID or sell if anyone is interested. Thank you again, Mark

These were in a flea market pile that my father marked but he was never sure if it was right. Can anyone ID these lamps for me?? Thank you in advance, Mark

Same car has been on eBay for a while now. It’s a great start but on the pricey side for a big sedan IMHO.

From what I think, WW2 probably ate up a large number of pre war cars and importing them from the states is less expensive than what is already there. The three most interested buyers were from Switzerland, Germany, and Hungry and the guys that were from the USA all wanted to make a 50’s rod out of her. Sad but I would rather see her go overseas than get a chop job!

This car was sold and is now residing in Switzerland. Thank you for your interest.

To my eyes both doors look to be sagging which can spell major wood framing issues. Because it’s a sedan there just isn’t any high dollar value at the end of the tunnel. That said, if you like it and can afford to buy it with no expectation of getting any more than personal satisfaction from her I say go for it - but $2500 to $3000 would be all I would bet on this old horse...

I thought you guys would like to see some earlier items... The arrowhead watch fob is from the 1910-12 timeframe, and at the other end is a Salesmaster paperweight that I believe is either just prewar or late 40’s and a Pilsner Glass from the 50’s.

Wow, a living post from 2010 thru 2016 gets new life... Boomer, if you are serious about selling, you should place an ad with loads of pictures which shows the cars condition and a few of the documentation couldn’t hurt either. There’s an active cars for sale section here, but adding to an ancient post with any information, correct or not, is only perpetuating that bad information. I am not a player here as having owned a Bay State (2 known at the time) I know for a fact that rarity doesn’t come close to any value in an assembled car...

It looks like a Hudson Hornet to me.

Now for the big question, if you sell your parts, does your wife sell any jewelry? I thought not... neither would mine.

Try calling someplace like Firefly restoration in Hope Maine, they work on antique fire trucks several of which had an oval tank behind the seat and would be much larger than car tanks. They might have one or point you in the right direction.

Agree with Keiser that it’s an aftermarket for the Model T Ford cars.

You have a PM

Looks like a 26 Nash to me...

Whenever I see step plates and drop off fenders like those I think of a Kissel...

I hope that I’m not over stepping here, but this is the link to Mil*mans beautiful new car https://m.ebay.com/itm/1928-Peerless/152891457889?hash=item23990a8161:g:ggcAAOSwlv9aaLhV#vi__app-cvip-panel

I was watching that car on eBay, what a unique and beautiful car! Congratulations are definitely in order.

I can’t help with the ID, but being straight pins you might be able to find a machine shop that could run them through a centerless grinder taking only as much material off to clean the pins and then have custom bushings made from a good quality bronze.

What a beautiful car, I wish I had the money for that! Dad had an unrestored coupe just like that in the early to mid 1970’s that he sold around 1976-77 and it was one of my favorite “toys” at the time. I would sit in it and play like I was driving the Hot Rod Lincoln and in my version that Caddy was trying to catch up. Now I have to wonder if I sat in that exact car when I was around 10 years old... can’t be too many around. Thank you for the memories.

I read the thread but had not posted. The Roadster was on eBay with poor pictures and I was hoping to find the better ones out here but the entire thread disappeared. The pictures were so bad that the car didn’t get any interest and I passed on bidding thinking it could have been a scam with poorly scalped pictures.

There was one of those on eBay for some time and I exhausted every reference I had with absolutely nothing similar related to automobiles... could be from a truck or something foreign (not likely with the Auld markings) but I believe nzcarnerd is right to suggest non-automotive application. Please let us know if you find out differently!

I must not have been the only person not to trust that eBay sale as the car only bid to $10101.00 not meeting the reserve. I still don’t know if it was a scam or just another case where the sellers didn’t think good pictures would matter on selling such an unusual and rare car...

I saw a 1921 Stephens on eBay that was a discussion thread within the last couple of months here, but I cannot find that thread. I was hoping to see better pictures as the ones on eBay stink for selling it... another possibility I was concerned about was whether the sale was fraudulent or not? I could see someone scalping pictures and “selling” it there (seller has a zero rating) Thanks!

I have seen several engines made for marine use that used Model T parts because of the availability of spare parts around the world. It appears to have the Model T main bearing caps as well, and could even use the same cam as they could play with the rocker arm ratio. It is a very interesting engine and hope someone can identify it. I also question the spark plug location, it looks like the piston would be nearly touching them.
