Don't you love how they made the smoke bonnets on the headlamps match the radiator shape? Pope Hartford used to have a smoke bonnet with a miniature fender shape on the top and rambler used a wheel design on each side, the attention to detail was just fabulous.

Great picture on e-bay of a 1912 Olds Limited. Dave, Can you move it to this forum for us?? It is number 110042060419 so the rest can enjoy it. Thanks, Chuck

If you google the crawford museum in cleveland they have 1907 Studebake Garford in their collection it is earlier than this car and it is a limosine, but shows the radiator design clearly
-
By the way it cost 4175.00. quite a bit of money in 1910
-
1910 or 1911 Studebaker Garford, note the unusual sidelamps. Page 128 of the 1910 ALAM catalog shows a great picture of the same car

Looks like a garford radiator to me

Check out The Vault Classic Cars website, they have some great Pebble beach photos
-
The Gooding website connects to the Chandler website which shows photos and descriptions of the great brass cars and the great classics that are there.
-
Have you seen that Gooding & co is doing the Otis Chandler Collection? Is that going to be a mind blower or what! The opening bids on some of those will be more than my net worth!!
-
Check out Gooding & co. website it has the latest results from pebble beach listed includingthe cars you mentioned

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the reply. My question regarding acid is will it attack the Zinc in the brass and leave the brass sort of copper colored??

Hi Randy: These lamps came both nickle plated and brass originally, unfortunatly the nickle is too bad to save. Since the mate I found is brass I felt they would make a great pair if the nickle could be removed safely. In effect, instead of two lamps that can't be used I would have a pair that are not only authentic but useful as well. Don't worry I believe in leaving no muddy footprints in history. In fact none of my cars have been converted to electric start, I still crank!!!

I recently purchased a very early small brass lamp that has old nickle plating. I wish to remove the plating and polish the brass. Does anyone know how to remove the plating with a chemical??

A friend of mine years back had a wrecking yard and he said if the fluid was up you could tap the base of the motometer on an inflated spare tire to get it down. I never tried it but it sounds like it would work.

Hi Barry; One question pops up when I see the enginering drawings, that is, with the weight of a vehicle in the rear, how do you intend to keep it from fishtailing at speeds over 45 mph? Doesn't seem like you will have anywhere enough tongue weight. Any ideas??

I have heard that there is a large collection of early autos in Hawaii, possibly the Sullivan collection?? Does it still exist or as it been sold off. I used to have a listing of its cars but it has been so long I can't find it anymore Just wondered if anyone out there knows about this or where over there it is located. Thanks for you help.

You might check out Restoration Supply Co. Escondido Cal. They have a universal drip moulding of aluminum that might fit your needs. It is on page 16 in their catalog. 32.00 per 12 foot length. Their phone is 1-800 306-7008

By the look of the rear hubcap I would say 1909 or 1910 Hupmobile model 20 roadster. A really neat looking car, even today.
-
Ck out item 6229867704 on E-bay. A great photo of a 1911 Pierce. I'm not selling, just enjoying the great photo. I can't afford the glass negative either!!

When I purchased my A it ran the same way. I checked the timing and found that it had been adjusted with the lever in the advance position. I retarded the lever and reset the timing and it made all the difference in the world.

About three years ago there was a beautifully restored ancient little french car at Pebble Beach. As I looked at it I noticed a really nice aluminum diecast carburetor that was painted gold. It also had an electric starter added. But It still won a really nice trophy. So maybe standards are not as high as you think. I really wish I hadn't spent so much for the original Holley I bought for my Olds. I could have found a nice diecast or even a T carburetor instead. Much cheaper and easier, don't you think??

Don't forget the Matheson in the Nethercutt Collection in Sylmar Ca. They also hhave an ALCO and an early Lozier among many others.
Results of the Otis Chandler auction?

Look up Chandler auction on the web, It will have some of the top prices, not the Lozier price however
