Well now that you know about Gardner you must want one. Right? Well in the near future one will be on the market an eight cyl, Imperial sedan, 1926. It's been sitting 2 or 3 years so it has the fuel issues. It is in Texas but still 300 miles from Springtown. I will probably list it on the for sale page in about 10 days. You can PM if interested. Picture from a 1926 auto show. Warning these are rare.

Wonderful comments - Got some answers The museum in Oshawa is a great place to visit if your near Oshawa. The 1926 Landau Roadster was one of 3 Gardner cars at a Milwaukee show a few years ago. This was in another magazine about 2015 at that time his Duesenberg was in his car barn and the Gardner was in his family room. I gave him documentation that by 1925 you could order any color you wanted for a fee. There were those that thought the color wasn't factory. I do know about the 1928 Roadster and hope to have it out by April or May or.....

Good memory!! Ken owned the brown 1930 roadster from at least the early 50's. He passed in 1992 and the his cars were sold at auction. A picture of that roadster on on my 'where are they now' page. Unrestored and mint with about 24,000 miles. The other car a 1923 coupe is now in Michigan.

The Bill Oexle Roadster is listed on my for sale page - Link: GardnerMotorCars So far I know of 152 Gardner cars, but those in the link of the first post are the ones I have pictures for but don't know where they are. In the last month I found one in England and two in Australia -- Search goes on. And yes it's a spark plug wrench the only tool with the GARDNER name.

March 17th will be the 100th birthday of the Gardner Motor Company. This date used to be known as St Patrick's Day. To celebrate the club is trying to locate 11 cars, we have the pictures. Please contact me if you know where any of these are located. rdg105@comcast.net Link to pictures page: MISSING

All 4 fenders for 1927 - 1928 Gardner very good condition. Details and pictures at: http://gardnermotorcars.com/fs-fenders.html Located in Oklahoma

Check the 'tech aids and tips' page at gardnermotorcars.com there is a 28 page book on Lycoming series H. Not much on water pumps but it might be worth printing anyway. I look every year at Hershey for a Lycoming manual ah maybe next year I'll find one. What car do you have with the 2H engine?

I also checked my bill when checking out and was charged for parking - I flew in from Minnesota. They took it off the bill - no apology or even a thank you for staying there.

I updated my web site to include the information about the oil pump, which also has selected pages from the Auburn 4-44 manual and the CF engine. Thank you Slospeed and pgb123 for all your help. site: www.gardnermotorcars.com select Tech Aid & Tips then select engines and you'll find the PDF files

Thanks Bud I'll check into it.

Bud let me know if you find that information on the oil pump. I down loaded it years ago from oldihc and lost it when my PC crashed. I contacted oldhc and they no longer had it in their files. Gardners were made for 12 years and the oil pump on the CE engine is the biggest failure point I know of. Also thanks for sending Terry to my web site, I was excited to hear about a Radio Special in England.

Wow - Some real experts out there -Thank you

Any idea where this engine was used? Sorry for the poor pictures, these were sent to me.

Gardner Motor Company had one woman design the griffin, another woman sculpture it. They also had women colorists to assign their 50 color combinations in the late 20's.

Yes the car is sold but there is a 1927 Gardner roadster on my web site now. www.gardnermotorcars.com on the for sale page.
