  1. Thank you both for the great and quick information.
  2. What are they from? They're about 16" long. Thanks!
  3. I believe the wheelbase should be 105", so it could just be a slight miscalculation, or the springs could have been changed. The number 15792-2 is actually the cylinder jug casting number. There may be a number on a cast boss on one of the aluminum crankcase ears. It is not a Model 27. A Model 27 has a larger engine.
  4. There should be a small aluminum tag on the left front frame horn, under the headlight. It will give you the model number. That engine has some 1914 features such as the exhaust manifold and the push rod/rocker towers. In 1913 the exhaust manifold turned down in the back of the engine. And in 1913 the push rods floated in the rocker stands.
  5. Looks like a nice car. I agree with the others-more info would be helpful. The hubcaps are 1914 or newer-the hubs look like they may be, too. The front fenders are 1914 or 1915. The sidelights appear to be 1914. If it is a Buick (not a McLaughlin), it looks like a 1914 B-25 body. If it was made for export that would explain the RHD. US Buicks were LHD in 1914, RHD in 1913. Does it have an electric starter and generator? I am more familiar with 1913 Buicks than 1914's, but there are several things about this car that would encourage me to do more homework if I want a 1913, not a 1914. It may not matter. Either way, great cars, and a lot of fun!

  7. It is definitely the smaller 4-cylinder. Model 10, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36. The seemingly longer wheelbase would indicate 1911-12.
  8. Great photo. In the 4th photo, looks like a Premier next to the Overland. 5th photo-yes, a White. 6th photo (back of touring car) another Premier.
  9. I'm not sure what it is but I'd clear out my garage for it! What is it?
  10. I'm not sure if I've posted these before- I looked for them but couldn't find them so I hope not. Does anyone's recognize this car?
  11. The car in front is actually a Selden, not a Speedwell. The car in back looks like a Velie. Neat California porcelain pre-state license on the Selden!
  12. Carl-I'll add it to my 'to-do' list. Greg-I got it in Colorado. I'll look into the '15 Buick possibility. Thanks-
  13. Thank you both for the information. I'm a little familiar with the Jno Brown's on Model T's-I've got a set on my 1910 Touring. But this light still has me puzzled. Anyone else?
  14. Was this light used on anything specific or is it just a really nice, generic one? It fits a 9" fork. The inside of the glass has the lines in it while the reflector has the glass cone. Stamped Jno Brown and related info on the back. Maybe military, WWI?
  15. The roadster is a Kissel - the round, white emblem on the radiator core gives it away. The car in the middle looks like a Chandler, not a Chalmers. It has a 'dog bone' shape radiator emblem.
  16. Probably most interested in pre-16 or other Model T's. Possibly pre-war. Willing to listen to most anything.
  17. Thank you for all of the inquiries. The car is in Kansas. Pm me and I would be glad to email more photos and my phone number.
  18. For sale: 1909 Ford Model T Runabout. Serial number 3695. Total restoration completed 2017. Starts easily, runs well with rebuilt original Kingston 5-ball carburetor, and 2-piece timer. Has new wooden coil box which fits later style coils. Very original chassis. Original 1909 engine block, head, original one-piece pan, original square hole transmission cover. Original dog-leg intake, and slip-in exhaust. Original early frame. Original taper-leaf springs, front and rear. Original front axle and one-piece spindles. Original short steering column. The rear axle (6-rivet) and driveshaft (2-piece) are from later in 1909. All brass is very good, being a combination of original and older reproduction. All lamps are E&J. Headlamps are Model 466’s, sidelamps are flared front. While assembling this car over the past 20 years, we have gathered as many original 1909 parts as possible. The body is new, as is all the sheet metal. We restored it to match the original build sheet as closely as possible including the light gray color with black moldings. It did not have a top or windshield when new. A copy of the build and shipping sheets are included. The restoration was completed earlier this year, and it has been driven approximately 10 test miles since. Asking $38,500 or trades considered. Feel free to contact me for more photos or more information.
  19. I agree that the car in the center photo is a 1912 Cadillac. I believe the car in the top and bottom photos is a Marmon. Check out the rear hub in the top photo.
  20. Very interesting. Do you have anything else from Lord Auto Sales? Our 1911 Paige-Detroit was sold new through them and was taken in on trade for a 'new' 1928 Graham-Paige.
  21. It sure looks like a 1909-10 Buick Model 17 to me. It has had accessory front doors, and demountable wheels added.
