@AHa should I reach out to the Westcott family? If so how would I find the right info so I could reach out?

I’ll be starting up my fall excavation soon. There are still car parts that literally grew within the tree roots. So I’m not done digging unless the ground is frozen.

Anyone interested in the Westcott car chasis before the snow hits the ground?

Thank you I figured it was vintage and many race at tracks maybe someone could guide me on where to reach out to.

I bought this go cart but can’t do much with it. Seeking help from anyone who can guide me on the right path.

Hey everyone New England weather has been non-stop crazy. Haven’t had a chance to finish my expedition with the Westcott. But I wanted to post a photo of something I found on the land where the car is. I thought it was pretty cool. From what I’ve found it’s a tripod bumper jack. mom just not sure in the age and what not. hope everyone has been doing well!

Need help with this piece. I’ve tried whatever way I know possible without damaging it. I just can’t make out the writing to research it. This was was amongst the roots recently, so I believe it goes with the car. so far I beieve I see “ TROY” and some smaller words written across it. “…… of character ….MFD….” ????? Let me know if you can make anything of it please. Or the best cleaning remedy I can try would be great too.

Hey everyone been on the farm cleaning up around the frame. Started poking at the dirt and tree roots that were under the frame. I’m still finding pieces here and there. So I’m not done digging yet. We had some serious rain the other day and it moved all my car parts about a foot from where they were. 🙄 Crazy stuff…. just wanted to show you the root system I’m working with right now. 🤪

Here’s some numbers I noticed on the frame yesterday but couldn’t really figure out what they were. once I know that, I would appreciate any guidance on how to research old stuff like that.

@AHa someone is helping me out from the @AACA Library to try and find the manual and any other info I can use. Waiting to hear back from him because he definitely found the right dashboard in a manual. Just need to know if it was used in just that model?? Or was it used in others?

@sagefinds I totally agree. I’ve always loved older vehicles. I have met peoplenwho taught me about hood ornaments, hun caps, etc… But nothing like this. This website and all you great people were a tremendous help. I know what to look for at Stafford’s next swap meet. I have learned so much from just one frame I found on family property. It’s been educational and quite the adventure. Hopefully it’s not over yet. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

Okay everyone we got the frame flipped today. The frame/chassis is definitely bent like an ‘S’. Anything that was attached to the frame upside down, is still attached right side up. I’m hoping to get better photos once the weather can make up its mind. I plan to continue to dig where the frame was. See if any other parts come to the surface for me.
