I would think the supercharger would be a good addition to a flat head like this, which has trouble breathing as the revs increase. This "paxton" type blower doesn't produce boost until you wind it up a little, and even then it's pretty mild. I think it's very unfortunate that they painted it statin black.

Right! Same as "would run great with a minor carburetor adjustment'...if it were true, why wouldn't you just adjust it and raise the price?

If it's not too rusty, that's about right, but the prices don't climb steeply after that. A friend recently bought a rough but running example for $1500.

Interesting car, but another case of not understanding that rare does no mean valuable. It does look nice, perhaps Ex- Harrah's? Davis was an assembled car, so parts might not be as impossible as otherwise.... https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/reno-1922-davis/7727458054.html I have a 1922 Davis automobile in all original condition.

I saw this title and figured it was a "full custom", but it seems it is a (hopefully correct) restoration. You have to go to the web site listed to actually see it (why?). I was not able to copy the pictures there.

Always a little sad to hear that story, but if the guy was good 'till close to the end and then keeled over...that's the way I'd like it! Looks like a great opportunity for someone with some Essex experience!

Hope it finds a good home.

Exactly so! Back then, I always wanted to make a few modifications and turn one into a tri-5 Chevy someone had used the wrong dryer cycle on.

Serious looking rear axel! They used a 30hp Continental engine so at least that part isn't too exotic.

Many more pics and history (but not about this car) in ad... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/d/sacramento-1930-rolls-royce-phantom-ii/7734347673.html This particular Phantom II is in running condition and was just serviced. All systems are fully functional on this vehicle. The Rolls starts up cold with no issues and makes great power. The Braking system works fantastically as well. This chassis was originally a 2 door Continental version of the PII but was rebodied with this Sedanca body in the 1970’s in England. The body is a Paris Henry Binder body. This is a great candidate for a full restoration or can be enjoyed regularly as is. Please Call, Text, Or Email with Inquiries: (916) 761-0081

Of course, the Mustang "California Special" was a similar idea.....

I thought about this after you wrote it and it seemed correct...yesterday I had an opportunity to test it in the garage and yes, I think that's what happened. It's been about 6 decades since I studied this stuff so I had to look up friction verses velocity and the book says friction is not dependent on velocity, so a wheel spinning backwards would theoretically provide no more drag than one that was locked and sliding. I think I read somewhere that steam locomotives would go to reverse in an emergency stop to avoid wearing a flat spot on the driving wheels. I didn't make them stop faster.

I would suggest finding a professional restorer of porcelain and glass in your area. They are around, and they have the skill and products to do it in a way that will be virtually invisible.

It would be great to see the route and dates! I've gone to a stop on Hemmings Great Race a couple of times as a spectator...it's fun to see the cars and talk to the participants.

I don't think this is a stock color but we've sure seem worse! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/d/ben-lomond-1940-buick-special/7733269965.html 1940 Buick 56S Special Straight 8, with three on the tree.
