  1. Al, I can't offer a lot of info, but I can offer this, 1033 means it is a side lamp for a 1910 automobile. The 1909 Lozier used a Solar side lamp, model 933, with a 905 Solar tail lamp. For 1910, the Solar side lamps would have been 1033, with a 1005 tail lamp. Are you sure the number shown, 10330 is correct? Also, the Solar lamp company was located in Wisconsin. Hopefully, others will offer additional info.
  2. Chris, I know someone with a 1914 Chandler chassis....me. Mine is for a Model 15. I have most of a Model 15 touring body including the splash aprons and fenders. It would be nice to preserve an early closed Chandler as there is already a 1914 Model 15 touring restored, but no closed cars. Let me know if its available and if so, how much? Thanks.
  3. I am fortunate to own a 1913 Lozier touring. Might sound smug, but I like being known as the "Lozierman". I first found Lozier parts in 1967 and it took me more than 30 years to get a complete car.
  4. Great job in restoring the Ruxton, allowing us to follow the progress, and for completing the car in time for Pebble Beach. This will be a hard one to top. Way to Go!!!!
  5. I wonder if these are "left-over" parts from the late Ralph Dunwoodie? He worked for Harrah's back in the late 60s and early 70s and was a Kissel fan. I spoke to him a few times at past Harrah's swap meets. He was very knowledgeable in most early American cars.
  6. The radiator looks to be from a Model A Ford, 1930 or 1931.
  7. I was very confused in school....my math teacher taught us "pi are squared". I mentioned this to my mom who said, "No, the teacher is wrong, pie are round, cornbread is square!"
  8. Here are some pictures of my parents with the 1928 Ford they gave me. Mom and dad will celebrate their 69th wedding anniversary this coming November. Note the picture where they are pointing to a sticker on the windshield. In another picture you can see what the sticker says. It is an original gas ration sticker from WWII. When dad had the model A restored he insisted the sticker be kept as it represents an event from our country's history as well as the year they were married.
  9. John, I enjoy your posts and the pictures you provide. What I am waiting to hear about is the progress on the Matheson motor. Anything happening with it? A fan from Seattle.
  10. Any updates on the mystery chassis? By now the snow must have melted!
  11. John, If you are still in Seattle make sure you report that the sun is out today, but I do admit with the wind even at 50 degrees it still seems a little cold. As someone who has lived in Seattle we do like to spread the rumor it always rains here. That isn't true, but it does keep others from moving here. We don't tan, we just get a light layer of rust! I really enjoy your posts, specifically reading about the Matheson motor. I want to see it back in the car and running.
  12. I didn't know Chandler ever built a truck. Please post some photos so we can help determine if it was built from the factory, or if it was modified after it left the factory. There is a Chandler club, which I am a member, and I'm sure among this group we should be able to help identify your find. Congratulations on your find.
  13. Haven't seen any updates in identifying this chassis. Anything new to report? Any photos yet? Anyone offer another opinion what this chassis might be? I still claim it is a Rainier......
  14. The hood ornament is an accessory, not a Ford issued product.
  15. 1930 Model A Ford cabriolet.
  16. I think the V-16 Cadillac is very pretty. Here is my Towncar that is original except for a repaint many years ago. No, its not for sale.
  17. The rear spring set up is what was called "platform" springs. It was not a common arrangement except for some of the high end cars. Cadillac and Lozier both used this, but as has been previously stated this is not a Cadillac or a Lozier chassis. The front end is unusual and sould aid in identifying this chassis. I suggest you look at the front image of a Rainier shown recently on the Old Motor website. To me the Rainier looks like the same spindles used here.
  18. Yes, the 1913 Lozier, yellow Meadowbrook, was owned by Tom Lester. It is now owned by Jerry Foley who lives in Jacksonville FL. It is a model 72, T head engine.
  19. Steve, You are correct. I also watched that espisode this past weekend and was pleased to find out what happened to Mr. Duffey's car.
  20. John, The Lunkenheimer exhaust pump/regulator is interesting. They were standard equipment on several brands of 1909-12 era brass cars. I know they were found on Loziers of that era, both the four and six cylinder versions. Many, many years ago a former Lozier owner, Dr. Russell Hunsberger had a 1909 Lozier Briarcliff and needed one to restore his Lozier. Unable to find one, he had patterns made and reproduced a few and sold them. I don't know how many he had made and whatever happened to the patterns. He has passed on, and I checked into the parts and pieces he had left after his Lozier was sold....nothing found. My 1913 Lozier also needs air pressure to force gas to the carb since the tank is lower than the carb. In 1913 Lozier utilized a valve lifter to provide the few pounds of air pressure to accomplish this. You are correct in stating carbon caused the Lunkenheimer to clog. They are next impossible to find today. I really like reading your posts, but I must ask what is the current status of the Matheson motor? Thanks!
