I remember quite some time ago, my brother had a 1918 Willys 6 (Model 89) with that same hubcap. It has a large '6' with the name 'Willys' across. I have a photo of it someplace, but can't find it right now. Frank

1912 EMF (just a swag...) Frank

White, Model K around 1908-1910.

My first thought is a 31 Graham, but the doors in the hood sides are a problem. I think they had only louvers... Frank

I have an engine that I believe is for a E75 model Marmon for sale for $2500. Photos were shown in an earlier thread along with the 1917 Model 34 Touring that just sold. The buyer of the car chose not to take the spare engine. Some numbers found on the engine that are cast into the block near the water pump drive are: KBW, and blow that are 4 21 25. Some numbers stamped into the timing case at the top are: 5625 H 4009. I think the cast numbers are a casting date and the stamped numbers are a serial number. The engine spins freely and pushes air out of the spark plug holes, but I notices that the push rod for the #1 exhaust valve is missing. All valves move freely and it looks good, but I have not removed the head or any of the covers. You should assume it is a good used engine and no more... The water pump shaft looks new. I have taped the holes to keep critters out... I'm not sure, but I would guess this would fit any earlier Model 34 with a cone clutch if the flywheels were swapped, but I'm not sure. It is what it is... Call if interested. Frank Iaccino 518-755-0986.

Yea, and from the length of the shadows, I'd say it was taken at 3:15 PM.... I think the headlight damage is really a black-out shade. Probably during WW2.

The radiator emblem resembles Buick. If so, around 1913-1914. Frank

The car above that has been labeled a 31 Stude.... Is that a vacuum tank on the firewall? If so, Studebaker added a fuel pump in 1928. If it is a vacuum tank, it's not a 31. Frank

Republic has a similar radiator....

I think the treatment I received from a particular vendor should be noted. Last year I purchased a 4' section of running board rubber matting from Restorations Specialties (from PA) in the Chocolate Field South. It was over $12 per foot, but it was what I wanted. I got home last year and immediately started to trim it to fit and found that it was quite dry rotted and it ripped into two or three pieces. This year I went to that vendor and quietly told him of my experience and he looked shocked. I had forgotten to bring the torn piece with me, but without hesitation, he cut another 4' piece and gave it to me, no charge. I offered to give him something to cover his cost, since I felt anything could have happened beyond his control, but he said that he did not work this way and he was glad to give me another piece. This is one vendor I think all of us should patronize. Frank

My thoughts exactly, but I know I'm a skeptic....

Maybe Kissel, about 23-24.....

OK, here's one... I have been set up in Chocolate South in the same spot for over 30 years and there used to be (he has passed on) an older gent who would always get out of his truck and march across the aisle to me and say that he had brought a special item to the show 'just for me'. Sometimes it was a candy bar, sometimes something for a car, but always something small and insignificant. Well, one year he came over and said the same thing, but that it was in a box on the back of his pick-up. I went to take a look and what a surprise. (Now I was into Model T Fords at the time and had a thing for speed equipment...) In the box was a Frontenac overhead valve set-up that was complete and ready to bolt on a car. Complete down to the rocker cover, carburetor, intake, exhaust... the works. I asked 'How much?" He stated $800. It was worth three times that and I told him so. He then said, "I damn well know what it's worth, now do you want it for $800 or not?" I grinned all week long and this is a tribute to the kind of man John Adams was.... Gone but not forgotten... Frank

The hubcaps look like mid twenties REO with that smooth domed look. I think the photo is too fuzzy to state that there is no rear door handle. Having no rare door on a sedan that large is unusual, at best. Frank

Too many people in the way... As far as I can tell, NONE are Model T's Frank

Catch me at CM18-21 in the South Chocolate Field. I'll be selling (hopefully) a 1917 Marmon with many extra parts. Stop by for a hot cup of coffee... Frank

I re-read my post and I think it came off sounding harsh, sorry, did not mean to. That particular car may have the 20" wheels that became optional, not sure of the year. Frank

That green chummy roadster is a 22 to my recollection. My 17 touring has 25 inch wires that are the same as those. Marmon 34 cars had wires from 1916 right up through 24.

I am in need of the banjo style fitting that forms the inlet fitting and also has the float valve. This carburetor has a glass float bowl and performs well, but the fitting keeps breaking, probably from metal fatigue. What have you? I have added a photo of the carb. The fitting is funnel shaped and holds the glass bowl assembly together. It also has the seat for the float needle. Frank

I'll have this Delco distributor for sale in Heershey at booth CM18-21. Looks to be complete and even has an extra cap. $150. Not sure if the gear goes with it, but it was in the same box... It's a Delco 640-L Frank 518-755-0986

Thank you, Steve. That is what I needed. Frank

Can anyone in authority answer this question? I have an electric cart that will need to be charged. Are there places that will allow me to plug my charger into the wall to recharge my cart? Could I plug it into an outlet near the rest rooms? Frank

How about changing the coil to a 12 volt unit with an internal resistor? Frank

To answer your question, just in case you run into more problems with lights. The lamps are all in parallel in a Model A Ford. There were some cars with lamps in series, like the early Model T head lamps, but in most cases it's parallel. Frank

Thanks, I was beginning to think I was the only one watching this.... It WILL be in Hershey Frank
