Raise your hand if you drove at least one old Buick this weekend

Drove the 1905 Model C only about 6 miles last weekend to a local show and then ice cream (of course). Week before last we clocked 70 miles on a great one-day local tour with other brass-era friends. -

Hi Mark- Thanks for the reply to my post. I was able to get a good pencil rubbing of the brass tag, photographs, and measurements of someone's Cartridge Coil and was able to make the box and switch, and have a tag made. That brand is pretty obscure and I wasn't able to see another "in the flesh" prior to having one made. I'd be interested in seeing photographs of yours to add to my files for possible future reference. Thanks again for posting. -Steve.

Also, these covers were used with early single-tube tires (where the casing and the tube were one, in concept not unlike today's tube-less tires, but rather like a "tire-less tube"). They threaded over a concave-headed retaining bolt (which I've heard referred to as a "lug") that was vulcanized into the tube and protruded through holes drilled in the rim and felloe. Without a clincher formed in the rim, air pressure alone could not hold the tire on. Over-tightening of these covers would tend to pull the lug through the tube and cause it to go flat. This inherent problem caused the development

Here's another for the list: "Racytype" this model designation was used by Mora, Velie, and perhaps others. -
Great exposure for AACA, the Fall Meet, our own Mr. Moskowitz, and the hobby! We need all of this kind of press we can get. Television worth watching.

Greetings all- I can't resist jumping in here. My wife and I own the Browniekar and six-cylinder Mora Tourer discussed in this thread. The photo posted by Mr. Mellor is of a Light Four Mora of 1907 vintage. It is very similiar to the "World's Record Sealed Bonnet Hero" car that travelled well over 8,000 miles with the hood (bonnet) sealed. It won several contests and put Mora on the map briefly. I've provided a photo of that car below. West is correct, there are two known Mora cars, ours and the car on display at the Swigart Museum in Huntingdon, PA. Their car looks considerably different than
