Not sure if you’ve seen this, but this site has a couple of pictures from the Chrysler exhibit. https://www.chicagoautoshow.com/history/#1933

Auburn used them too. Someone may correct me, but I think it’s an automatic chassis lubricator. Greg

I think it’s an Oldsmobile, 26ish. Greg

Good looking project, someone would be glad to have it. A good place to check out would be the WOKR (Willys Overland Knight Registry) web site and forum, just do a web search. Post there, you may get some interest. Looking at your car, it’s a 28, the 1928 model year serial #s ran 110345-316405. There should be a serial # on the back end of the frame just above the spring shackle on the right hand side, the # should be pretty close to the engine #. Another thing to look at, there is an assembly date stamped into the engine block on the left hand side, circled in red. Good Luck. Greg

Depends on the model. Mod 96 4 cyl you loosen the water pump and rotate. The eccentric will tighten or loosen the belt. 96A or 6 cyl models are different. Greg

It’s not a disk break, you’re looking at the backing plate to the drum break.

The WK, can you find out if it's a Mod 66B? If it is, the car has had in interesting journey. The 66B is fairly desirable among the sleeve valve folks. Thanks Greg

Looks like a 29 Nash to me too. Great picture. Greg

Thanks for the info Ryan, I just placed an order. Good luck with your project. Greg

Very nice work! If you don’t mind me asking, what type of material did you use to make the door bumpers? I need to make similar and I’m having a hard time deciding on a good match to the original. Thanks Greg

The Willys Overland Knight Registry has parts and full body drawings for Overland, Knight, Whippet, & Willys produced between 1907 and 1947. The drawings were donated to the club in 1974 when American Motors owned what was left of the W.O. Corporation. It was reported that they collected over 5 tons of drawings. A number of years ago, the club started digitizing the drawings giving easy access to the files to club members. It's an invaluable resource when restoring an orphan car. Greg

How about an Apperson?

There’s a Hemmings auction for a 39 4 door sedan that ends on Monday (not mine). Lots of pictures. Keep an eye on where that one goes, could give you a ballpark.

How about a Star? Looks like the car in question has 2 wheel breaks, so 26 maybe.

I think they look to be off of a 28 Whippet Cabriolet. Greg

Agree, not likely a whippet. Wheels are different and I don’t recall seeing any trim around the cowl. I think 58L-Y8 has it with Nash.

At first I thought Whippet, but the fire wall is different. Did a little digging in the photo section of the WOKR website and it looks like it’s a 28 Falcon Knight model 12. The door hinges had me baffled, however looking at the pictures, they seem to match.

Here's a link to his post on WOKR. http://www.wokr.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=612&highlight=Whippet+Wheels

There is a guy on the Willys Overland forum who made wheels for his 1930 Whippet. Looks like he did some really nice work. If you check out WOKR.org, follow the link to the forum then search for "Whippet Wheels", the gentleman uses the handle "Eagle". He has some pictures posted and a little bit about his method. I bet he could steer you in the right direction for more information. Hope this can be of some help. Greg H.

The "Amelia Earhart' car from the Fourney Museum taken this past August. I thought the mannequin was a bit creepy, but a really nice car. I don't know much about them, but I really like it.

Try asking your question on the WOKR forum, I bet someone would be able to provide a measurement. Go to WOKR.ORG and follow the link to the forum. Hope this helps. Greg

Found this picture from a few years ago when I started restoring my Coupe. Greg

Looks to be a 27 Whippet frame. Appears to have some modifications. Check to see if there is a serial number tag on the right rear frame member (just above the rear spring shackle). Greg

Whippet is correct. This picture is from WOKR.org. I think it's a 1929 98A touring in Australia.
