Kaiser hit infinity and it broke the whole system.

I was finishing up the Christmas tree and thought a picture of this ornament would fit here.

certainly worth selling and there will be plenty of interested people. The Brush is a fine little car, although not particularly valuable, enough were made and still exist for there to be a following with some knowledgeable people. I seem to recall there being some part of them that tends to not hold up (rear end or transmission... something)... creating a situation of there being a lot of running but not roadable Brush cars in existence. Wooden wheels, wooden axles, woodnt run. If you want some armchair appraisals, post some images and more thorough description.

Using the fact that you know as something that gets mentioned in the negotiation is fine. The seller will understand your lack of a desire to help him double up and it might make you seem more likely to walk... but I don’t think it should really impact what you are willing to pay. It is worth it to you or it isn’t.

oldsmobile badged small suv, s10 blazer size in the early form.

Every single one of those cars will be available on Craigslist: “no low ball offers, I know what I got.”

I would just make the box as rigid as you can and allow for some flex in the body mounts. It seems like a lot of frame flex happens on brass era through early 30’s vehicles with little harm to the body.

I really need to stop looking at this.

Not mine. located in the hupp group.

His 1908 NC runs great on it!

It’s no White...

I believe the Hackett museum is in the Argo (cycle car created by Ben Briscoe) factory. I have no idea if the Briscoe car shared the same address, but the standard catalog has Mr. Briscoe unloading the two car companies about three years apart, making me think they were not run as one company under one roof. An interesting note on the factory, taken From Smithsonian Magazine: “The Hackett Auto Museum in Jackson Michigan is the only existing site in the world where all three varieties of historic automobiles: STEAM, ELECTRIC and GAS were made:v1902 Jaxon Car (Steam); 1911 Standard (Electric); 1914 Argo (Gas).”

@gossjh will Bill need anything?

the OP has not been on since Jan 11 but tagging him should send an email notification: @DeLoreanDMC81

You are correct as to its use. A useful tool the one or two times in your life you might need it. We let ours go to a guy putting together an “old time” repair shop display.... the cars we play with now don’t have starters or generators!

My father and I used to do “manifold meals” with some regularity. Usually it was meat balls or sausages and some sauce wrapped in foil, and wired or rested near the exhaust or on top of the head at a stop roughly an hour before you wanted to stop and eat. We set others up to make lunch that way on a tour we were hosting once (not well received by all, but done by a few participants). We even have a cast aluminum roaster made to mount to a model A Ford... have never used it to my knowledge as I think cleaning would be a nightmare.

I am curious about this one but have to agree with @Walt G . At the very least @zzzzzzz let us know which of many Briscoe plants you are referring to: the one in France? Michigan? Chicago? One of the many many Maxwell-Briscoe plants?

that guy has “no regerts” printed on his other arm.

You are looking for Vinny Cassidy. I will send you his number via pm.

model A brakes are wonderful once correct. There are a few wear parts that don’t get addressed on a lot of them. As Ed and a few others have pointed out many times, people don’t realize how good many cars were when new... so something shy of correct gets written off as being “how an old car is.”

cars are expensive enough.

We never had the car apart to have any real knowledge, but am certain we would not have switched to synthetic. We got it out of the Auburn car corral as a runner and we ran it. As my father and my taste in cars got older and into stuff my mother doesn’t like to drive, he has always made sure there is one “modern” car with an automatic for her to drive if she so chooses, something for her to do a local tour with grandkids in, or escape a car event with in favor of an outlet mall with the ladies. Eventually, she decided the Wasp was just too big. There was a brief stop by a corvair convertible and she is now in a stude Daytona. Of those three, I enjoyed the wasp the most.

We had a wasp with a 202 and Hydramatic for several years...Our friends called it a Hash or a Hush... because it was half Hudson and half Nash. They really are a great car. I was always amazed at how well it moved down the road, as well as how well it stopped. We could cruise down the interstate all day in it... and did. I believe ours was a 56. The one issue... it is WIDE. On the rare occasion it does need a trailer... it doesn’t fit between the wheels on many of them!

Looks like a speedster to me.

As to the OP’s original question, nice driver quality and presentable (as in, already “restored” to some degree) hj47’s seem to fall somewhere in the sub $25,000 range with some fairly nice examples in the mid teens. Dumpy projects (that don’t look as good as yours in pics) seem to still bring 5k. There are of course examples with six figure asking prices but it seems like you can get one much more capable and pretty than new for under $40,000. Everything I am looking at is left hand drive.
