DavidP Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 What would be the best way (cheap) to ship an early 1900's rolling frame cross country ... California (LA) to Toronto?Relatively small & light, just the side rails and wheels (rims only) assembled ... a rolling frame?Most shippers will want a running vehicle ... :-(I'm considering buying this rolling frame (rare), but need to find a way to get it home ...Any advise would be appreciated ...

1937hd45 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 A roller takes up the same space as a full car, you may want to brake it down so it fits in a large crate. Depends on what the chassis is and the condition of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidP Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'm afraid its too late to do anything about it now ... Just an item on ebay that sold early with a 'Buy It Now' ...I would of 'Bought It Now' ... immediately ... if I thought I could arrange shipping ... I think someone has made a pretty Good Purchase ... being as its probably 1 of about 50 made that year ... the 2nd year in production ... 1906 Rauch and Lang Rare Antique Electric Project ChassisItem number: 150283917549http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150283917549&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMF-Owner Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Don't know if you noticed or not, but this chassis is back up on ebay. This may not be a 1906 chassis. The wheels look like steel fellow demountables, which would not have been used until well into the teens. Does appear to be chain driven as a car of this period would be. Good luck finding enough parts to complete it. Have a good day.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidP Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 I appreciate you letting me know ... I did receive a notice about being relisted through ebay this morning ... The shipping would probably be more than the frame with the distance involved ...I'll have to keep looking for something a little 'better' or 'closer' ...As to the actual year, I only know that chain drive had disappeared before 1912 on the Rauch & Lang ...

1937hd45 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 It has sold TWICE on eBay both "Winners" had ZERO feedback, sonething doesn't sound right IMO. Wheels are wrong, chances of finding the missing bits are slim, I'd save my money for something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidP Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Once again ... thank you for the heads up ...I'm still looking ... been looking for the last few years as well ... just something rough for a winter (several winters) project ... I posted (moved)this in the electric vehicle forum with the picture and listing number ... If I could pick it up cheap enough, and arrange transportation, I probably would take a chance, although I realize it could probably never be restored to origional ...
