Mark is a great guy and he and Shawn provided me with many photos, which are very helpful.  Unfortunately he doesn’t know who bought the car, and no luck with RM Auctions to assist.

[1907 Mitchell Model E runabout]

I am working on restoring a 1907 Mitchell Model E runabout.  Mark Hyman sold one at auction in 2018.  Does anyone know who owns it now?  I need to ask permission to see the car for comparison purposes.

Thanks

Thank you Sir!!

[1908-10 Pope Hartford?]

Craig, great eye!!! The spring shackle cover is distinctive. Did 1909 P-H have a similar cover? Very hard to find photos of the S model. Were the sidelights square in1908 or bale handled?

 

The horn was identified as a National siren on another web site. Do you know anything about that?

 

You can see that the photo was taken in cold weather, people in heavy coats and blankets draped over the steering wheel. The lady in the photo was known to be wealthy, so I am surprised that they didn't add a windshield for the cold weather.

 

Staten Island isn't far from Connecticut, so it is logical and feasible for the cars to be available to Staten Island customers. The photo was marked c. 1910.

 

thanks again for your help,

Don

I ask for your help to identify this car for the Staten Island Historical Society. I think it is a Pope Hartford, not certain of the year. Appreciate your helpful information.

thanks for your advice!

[1941 Graham Hollywood]

Graham literature shows tires were 6.00 x 16. Mine are 6.50 x 16. Does the slightly larger tire provide a better ride? For a restoration does that matter for show?

Anyone know the tire brand the factory provided?

 

[1941 Graham Hollywood]

What brand of tires (6.50x16) were used by the factory? Were they all wide whitewalls?

My car has Denim Super Safety wide white walls.

 

thanks,

[Licensing for Historic Vehicles]

Yes to 46'Woodie, I am looking at a one time license plate fee and one time inspection per vehicle per owner as a starting point. There was a bill that came out of the NYS Assembly Transportation Committee providing for a $100 one time licensing fee, but it died a few years ago without going to the floor for a vote.

 

 

Also, the inspection is annual but only costs $10. However, taking a Model T Ford as an example, what can a local mechanic inspect? That the horn works, headlights go on? They have no idea how to check the brakes! The inspection is really useless.

 

 

I will work more on this in the coming week and report back here to everyone. Enjoy the Holiday weekend and remember all who served and died in support of our great Nation!!!
