I can tell you that this car was part of the BC Hartline collection and I knew it back about 1970. I think he had had it many years at that point. It looked the same then as it does now. Maybe new tires. The condition was amazingly original with the tan being a repaint. But done long before I knew it. BC had lots of cars and this one was well back in the barn and not one of his regular drivers He love to show how nicely to doors closed Click click click. If I recall there was a hat holder on the ceiling in the back to hold a top hat upside down. All this from when I was in junior high and getting my first taste of Locomobiles.

This is a 1914/15 Stevens Duryea.

Frank. The print year was 1917. By the way the chart columns to the right of the ratio picture are 1911 1912. 1913. And 1914. bob

Frank. This book is #70. Rear Tire sizes for all the years covered was 36x4.5. thanks Bob

The 1911 M1 48 cars first came out with the split rear end, similar to, maybe same ?? as the Model 30s. The 1912 M2 48 cars had the rear cover rear end, same as discussed above on the later cars. Both came with many different ratios. Photos attached. My car seems to have gone back to the factory in its early life and came to me with jugs marked +020 bore diameter and the M2 rear end. In its early rebuilt life, it became a service vehicle at a cranberry farm according to verbal accounts. Locomobile advertised doing second purpose rebuilds at the factory or associated with the factory. Fire trucks and such...

That is aTalley Hoe (spelling??)horn like used on teens era Pierce Arrows

I believe it is a Marmon 48. Like 1913/14

Looks like a 1909/10/11 Locomobile 30. Limousine. Nice car.

Pm sent. Thanks

Hello. Can you please provide some photos of the radiator shroud and overall dimensions? and asking price. Thanks rjmcanlis@prodigy.net

This is Hilary. She came to me from Australia with her name already in place. She is a 1912 Renault AX.

At max welder output, best if your generator can provide 25A at 120v

Input rating on SP135 plus is 115v and 20 amps.

Hello; please let me add some information to the discussion about Renaults of this era. I have two of them. Renault made chassis and not the bodies. All the bodies were put on by coachbuilders. Many different coachbuilders. (You can go to coachbuild.com forum sections. It is quite a website). In any case, each coachbuilder had their own take on body details and accessories. For the larger cars, customers had significant input on what they wanted. That’s why they are all different. in the case of the car on the Titanic, it is a 35hp model. That’s 35 FRENCH horsepower. This means it was a model CI, the top of the line four cyl with b &s 130mm x 160mm. One of the cars I have is an earlier 35hp AI which is same bore but 140mm stroke. the model CB in the discussion and photos above was an 80mm x 120mm mid range model for Renault rated at 12 FRENCH hp. In 1912, Renault made many models. Two 2 cyl, eight 4cyl and two 6 cyl types. there are many smaller models existing including some town cars bodied by expensive carrosiers like Rothchilds and Labourdette and many with lesser known builders You will find photos of many of these on the Coachbuild site. There are only a few of the large AI and CI cars remaining. Since I have been watching the past 20 years or so, I have seen two town cars. A blue one formerly owned by Tom Lester, and a green one that went thru an auction several years ago in the UK. There are a few tourings, two roadsters, and the six or so AI race cars. Actually, all the ones I know about are AI rather than CI. so, the bottom line is that the chassis were standard, but the bodies were all different to nominal configurations. And the car on the Titanic was on the top end of the line - 35 French hp and probably suited by one of the more costly body makers. Hope this helps thanks

E_Johnson. Thank you very much.

1912 Stearns Knight

Looking for a steering column mounted choke control similar to attached photo. Does not need to be brand specific. Just brass and similar function. thanks Bob McAnlis 216 269 909one

Left to right. 12, 14, 14, 11. All 48s

Terry you speak for yourself. I’ll speak for myself. I for one would be interested in having a functional replacement without cyl numbers. If it allows the cap to be used on a variety of cars using Delco systems with different firing orders, all the better. It would certainly be great if the mold allowed inserting different numbers for different car applications, but then you increase mold cost significantly and also inventory cost. It would be different if the intended market was 100k units. But it’s probably a few hundred units. Universality is more practical on my mind.

The above car is definitely a 1912 M. You can just see the top of the right jump seat. They did not make 7 passengers touring for Model 30 or Model 38. Nice to see the inside of the trunks. It would be great to know the trunk manufacturer. thanks Bob McAnlis

Phil my AX is the easiest starting car I have. Original carburetor is preferred. This engine runs hit,hit, skip, skip. Not conventionally hit skip hit skip. yoi should be able to hear the fuel be sucked up into the engine. Rotate the crank past one compression and stop before the next. Give it a quarter flick up. That’s all you need. If you try to pull the crank before it’s the skip skip rotation it won’t start. Good luck bob

Photos showing the bolt location would help significantly.

@32Pontiac6 yes, the model 43 is on 116” wheelbase. It is 4.25 x 5.25” four and goes nicely. This particular car is a Southern wide track with 60” track, so I like to think of it as one of the first wide track Pontiacs….

Just took this photo of my 1914 Oakland 43 this week.
