  1. This early postwar midget race car is a well-known example with history dating back to 1946. The car does not have an engine or gearbox assembly, but is otherwise mostly complete including the steering assembly, wheels, suspension, rear axle and front axle assemblies. Rear axle is a narrowed period early Ford. The front axle is believed to be a factory period axle. Steering box is believed to be Franklin?. The body is extremely solid and retains its original dashboard and its distinct hood, radiator and grill assemblies. The body has remains of old paint and still retains much of its original upholstery. An authentic and historically significant, early midget race car with lots of potential and provenance.

  3. This 1912 Metz Model 22 roadster is an older and very well preserved restoration of a complete, authentic and original car. It was likely restored in the 1960s. Unlike today, it was still commonplace to find good, solid examples of brass era cars during these early years of the hobby. Metz introduced its first four-cylinder automobile in 1912 and called it the Model 22, based its horsepower rating. Call or Email with questions or visit (www.stlouiscarmuseum.com) for a complete description and photos. $32,900.00 David Weber (314) 941-3244 or Dave@stlouiscarmuseum.com

  6. This 1926 Duesenberg Model A chassis has been owned by some of the most important collectors in the vintage automobile hobby. It was restored by Al and Dottie Bennett for the late Homer Fitterling of South Bend, Indiana. The chassis was later sold to the noted Duesenberg collector Ed Weaver before being  purchased by the current owner. The chassis was last publically displayed in the 1995 ACD Labor Day Reunion Meet where it also participated in the Annual Parade of Classics. In recent years, it has been displayed in a private museum.

    Although this chassis is assembled from parts, all of parts are original Model A Duesenberg components. This car retains an original Duesenberg firewall tag, which labels the chassis as car number 765 and engine number 1164. It should be noted, however, that this engine is number 1010 and does not match the number on the build plate.

    The 100 horsepower, Duesenberg overhead camshaft engine is complete and retains its rare, original Schebler Model S updraft carburetor as well as its original ignition system, water pump, manifolds, starter and generator. The radiator has its original honeycomb-style core and is fitted with an original Model A Duesenberg radiator shell.

    The 141” wheelbase chassis assembly is in excellent condition and is made up of all original Model A Duesenberg parts including the front-end assembly, rear end assembly, steering assembly, brakes, shock absorbers and a rare, proper set of Rudge Whitworth wire wheels.

    The chassis starts easily and runs well. The hydraulic brakes are working and the brake pressure gauge also works. With the exhaust cut out open, the engine really sounds like an aggressive racecar. The car is currently being operated from the gas in the vacuum tank, but the original gas tank could be made operable if needed. The original gas gauge is present but not operating. The 20” Lester white wall tires are older replacements but appear to be in good condition.

    The driver’s area retains correct and authentic Duesenberg Model A instruments and controls mounted to an original firewall assembly. Included is a complete oval dash cluster, ignition and light switch assembly, steering wheel, pedal assemblies, brake and shift levers, dash controls, etc. The mileage indicated on the odometer is about 77,500. The clock is missing one hand, but the other gauges appear to be in very good, mostly original, condition. Original cast aluminum floorboards are also present and are in very nice condition. To drive the chassis, a temporary seat assembly has been installed, but is not included in the sale.

    Overall, this is a great opportunity to purchase what is likely to be one of the last, remaining Duesenberg Model A chassis in existence today. This chassis is ready to be displayed and operated. It is an extremely impressive exhibit that really highlights the advanced engineering accomplishments of Fred and Augie Duesenberg. It is being sold with a bill of sale only, no title. $95,900.00  David Weber (314) 941-3244 St. Louis, MO.
