The car is at my wife's mother's house I will get the tire info and another engine pic the next time I go over there. I Have a copy of the Elcar book and the car is listed in the "surviving cars" chapter . I contacted the author a few years ago , he knew the car by it's serial number, and spoke of his contact with my wife's grandfather. Attached is a pic of the book and the car in the book.

I really enjoy reading everyone's posts and fortunately I grew "thick skin" in the military. HaHa. Anyway I wanted to get back to Grimy with the 6 cyl vs 4 cyl and the steel wheels. I have a copy of the owners manual and a price list and here are a few pics.

Yes the car has a full back seat and the small folding passenger side seat.

Thank you to everyone for your input, and although we always want to get the highest price when selling a car, that's not my goal here. Since it was in my wife's family for so long (60 plus years), and the pride and joy of her departed grandfather, I want to make sure it goes to someone who is genuinely enthusiastic about the car. I feel that posting it for a higher price will separate the serious buyers from the tire kickers, and I don't want it to go to someone who wants it for the engine or parts. This car has a ton of documented history and it would be a shame for all that to be lost forever. As far as it looking tired, don't be fooled by it's appearance, It may be old but its still strong. It doesn't smoke, it drives and stops, and it's rarely used. Don't get me wrong it's not perfect, but at 96 years old it is in pretty good shape. If I could keep it I would leave it as a survivor.

Sorry about the delay in replying to all the posts. The car is located in San Jose, Ca. I am open to offers at this point. Shipping is not a problem. Yes those Desteel wheels are a stock option.

Survivior unrestored 1922 Elcar K6 CoupeIt starts easily, and runs and drives well. Inline 6 Continental engine with 3 speed.Of the 61 total documented surviving Elcar models featured in the book "Elcar and Pratt Automobiles: The Complete History By William Locke", this is the only k6 coupe remaining, and has been in the same family for more than 60 years.It was primarily used as a parade car for the Whittier Elks lodge by my wife's grandfather before being passed down to her uncle, and finally to us. Lots of documented history. The Elcar was an American automobile briefly manufactured from 1915 until 1931 by the Elkhart Carriage Company, of Elkhart, Indiana, which had been in business for over 30 years before producing its first car. Known to be a high quality car in it's day, production was limited and eventually ceased due to the stock market crash and subsequent great depression.A true piece of history from the early days of American automobile makers. Keep as survivor or an excellent restoration candidate.
