This is a really neat car! I was just reading about the crack engineering team of Zender, Skelton and Beer, who created the Chrysler 70 and I discovered that prior to Chrysler they were at Studebaker. While there they decided that a good test for any engine should be, that it be able to run for 50 hours at full load.

There is a very interesting section on the Maxwell engine in Willem Weertman's excellent (if you are a gear head like me) book: Chrysler Engines 1922-1998.

If you went to pick her up on your first day in this, you'd have a very clear indication of how she really felt about you!

Much better than the typical "T" or "A" speedster, which is often just a hood to the cowl and a gas tank behind the seats.
That type of design would have seemed really old fashioned by the end of WWI and something of a "rat rod" by the late 20's.

Seems to me located some where in central California rather than Florence OR, which is too bad because Florence is a lovely town by the sea.
These look fun but my town would have to resurface ever pot holed street before it would be fun to drive. I used to have a TR3 and I came to the realization it was more fun to see it drive by than to drive it.

Looks nice and reasonably priced. I wonder if this was a factory color option...

I think there a quite a number of cars that have hit the stratosphere in the last 20 years to our "older eyes" are hard to phantom. On my list would be VW 21 window buses, Toyota Land Cruisers, and all air cooled Porsches.

Very neat to see! If you like biography, I would really recommend his autobiography. He lead a fascinating life and cheated death more than a few times. Drove racing cars for the Dusenbergs before WWI, later owned the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and was President of Eastern Airlines.
Spent several days in a life raft mid ocean at one point and suffered numerous terrible crashes.

They are very tight by modern standard's. If you aren't comfortable with a window seat on a discount airline, this is similar.

It certainly is a head turner! I hope the depressed market for Victorian furniture doesn't make it hard to sell.
It does make me think of the harlequin VW paint option. Maybe the solution would be to paint the doors a different color.

If interested, this is local to me and I could go look. I look after another '25 Chevy belonging to my city so I'm familiar.

I thought of speedster material too! Hudson was the only major manufacturer that fielded a team during the board track era.

Looks to be in the ballpark price wise....

I don't know why the forum is asking me to re-post this!

Porsche heads won't fit a VW, and even if they did they'd be worth too much for little hp gain.

I used to live in a small town in the mountains. There was a mortuary, but with the small population, it wasn't a full time job, so the mortician also worked in the meat department at Safeway. He rented out the large garage at the back of his space to a mechanic, and that guy used to chase parts in the hearse. The bed in this vehicle would be pretty handy at Home Depot.

Lots of pre-war cars here! I think it's about 1950 because at about the 3:15 mark, a Studebaker Commander goes by. One thing I found interesting is the complete absence of Stop Signs!

Very fun to see!

What year did Buick start running an oil supply to the rockers? Did all GM change that year (Chevy is a similar design).
-
When did Buick begin to supply oil to the rockers? There was a 1917 model posted recently where the valve train didn't even have a cover (many WWI aircraft were similar) and I care for a 1925 Chevy that requires the rockers to be oiled before each use.

I'm a fan of MoPar engineering and I salute the "out of the box" thinking that allowed these to be created, but it's easy to see why they were sales flops!

For Sale: 1932 Plymouth PB coupe - $22,000 - Dublin, VA - Not Mine

'32 was the last year for the 4cyl but it was extensively redesigned and improved. I agree the price is definitely high for a non-runner.
Also, the cars they are looking for in trade and the street rod comment makes me think this seller inherited it or some how came own a car they have no interest in but think should be worth big bucks.
