Looks very similar to the 1927 Chrysler instrument panel below.

Just to clarify, dry chemical is the messy one and CO2 is mess free.
Correct, meant dry chemical. Thanks for the correction.

All right, so in regards to the Element's underwhelming performance and dry chemical's messy aftermath, I see it is legal to sell and use Halon but illegal to manufacture Halon. What is the legal status of Halotron?

These were a "build it yourself" project cars. A coworker at our plant scratch built a Tri-Magnum. It is a wood, foam, fiberglass and steel construction. It took him 18 months to complete. The power train was from a Honda 750 V twin as I recall. It was designed by Robert Q. Riley in 1982. Gets 50 MPG. There was certainly nothing else like it on the road. Looked like a spaceship.

I suspect the ad has been taken down. Sold or otherwise
Don't know. This is what I get when I click on the ad.

Why is it when I "click" on some of the facebook postings I can access the ad and others I can't like this one?
Not a facebook user and do not want to sign up just to view the ads.

Nice looking car!
Price is reasonable as well.

Model 18 would be a V8 and Model B a four cylinder. Oh, I see it was corrected in the description below the title. The gap between the tires and the fenders does look quite wide, otherwise a nice looking example.

Before Elon Musk had the idea of putting all the gauges directly in the center of the car instead of in front of the driver, Bendix did it first in their 1934 "Steel Wheel Corp." concept.
As was pointed out above, having the instrument panel in the center was the convention up to the mid 1930's. Millions of early Fords had the instrument panel in the center.

I guess I should have put Willwood in bold because that is what I was pointing out.
That is because Willwood makes parts for the dedicated Model T disc brake kits. As Larry pointed out, the Model T service brake is in the transmission and if connection with the transmission is lost from a false neutral in an auxiliary Ruckstell Axel or Warford transmission, you have no brakes other than the small rear emergency brakes.

You may get better responses if you started your own topic with your query in the title.

Congratulations.

There was a 1914 Buick B36 roadster recently for sale on the San Diego Craigslist. Perhaps this party could help with locating top irons.

At one-tenth the price this would be a tough sell!
I concur. My first thought was $25,000. would be on the high side. I think this one will sit for awhile.

Same here, don't know where they fit into the hobby. I will say that in 1980 there was a new green Shay Model A roadster for sale in the local Ford dealership show room. I was sure tempted. Just as well, now I own the real deal.

Seller doesn't indicate the year of manufacture. Probably from 1979 to '82.

Donate to a history or logging museum.
My thoughts exactly. Have been to county history museums that have agricultural machinery and items such as the above as well as yesterdays domestic items on display.

The horsepower formula of D squared times N divided by 2.5 must have been used at one time in the US as my copy of the Floyd Clymer Catalog of 1914 cars - essentially a reprint of the NACC catalog of the time has a copy of the chart with the horsepower figures for the various bore sizes. It says it was previously known as the ALAM rating and is "based on the average view of eminent engineers as to a fair conservative rating for a four-cycle motor at one thousand feet per minute piston speed".
X2.
To add to nzcarnerd's post, Ford used S.A.E. horsepower rating of 24.03 in the specifications page of the Model A Instruction Book. The brake horsepower was closer to 40. The calculated horsepower rating was used at some point in the U.S. Thanks to nzcarnerd's link to Tax horsepower, apparently Missouri still uses taxable horsepower charts.
Below from Instruction No. 83 of Dyke's Automobile and Gasoline Engine Encyclopedia (1931)
"N.A.C.C. formula is used by all leading manufacturers and by the license offices in different cities. It represents a comparative horsepower rating for automobiles that is used for taxation and similar purposes."

I doubt that it is an automobile clock per se. More likely a limited production desk clock that a dealer may have had.
Nickel plating indicates late 1910s or 1920s. An automobile clock should have been mounted in the dash panel or header board above the windshield. Either way, the stem would have come out the bottom, not the top.
Found two examples of similar Waltham Hudson 8 day automobile clocks mounted on the panel just above the instrument panel and below the windshield.

Fenders along with the lack of the typical running board and step plate treatment seems stylish for 1922. Continental engine?
