Steve Braverman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Can somebody give me the specs on this car, wheelbase, engine, etc.? Any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 According to the Car Spotter's Guide, it has a 353.6 ci engine, 126" wheel base, 33 x 4 1/2 tires, Wagner or Remy ignition. I had a 27 Big Six and found it to be a big, impressive car with more than enough power (65 HP) to move down the road at 50 MPH. It was a 50 MPH car with 20 MPH brakes. Mine was a 7 passenger custom sedan and was the first President model. What body style are you considering?Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Wow, I didn't realize it was that big. The car in question is a touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 The Touring should have a higher top speed than the sedan had. I think my ring/pinion was around 4.25 to 1 ratio, while I think the touring is around 3.8 to 1. I can't remember the exact numbers. If it is the 7 passenger version, it's very impressive with the jump seats and 5 bow one man top....Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Just a guess... 1924 Special Six. Is that the car you've been asking about? Looks too small to be the Bix Six. Tires are too narrow. My tires were 7.00 x 20 with disk wheels. Big Six had 6 bolt hubs and the Special Six had 5 bolt hubs. Beautiful Car!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 The special six had a 6 bold hub also. I think it could also be a 1923 special six, maybe even a 1922. There were few changes between the models...B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stude8 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I am thinking what you have there is a 1923 or 24 Model EM Light Six. If you can supply an engine number (or chassis number) I could identify it pretty easily. Other thing is what is the wheel base? EM cars were 112". Light Six was a 207 CID 40 HP engine.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 The 24 Special Six had a Packard shaped radiator shell, and I did not think the Light Six had the shaded visor. Disc wheels were optional - my 24 Touring had wood wheels and a friends 24 Roadster had the discs. My guess is 22-23 Special Six too, but serial numbers that are located on the frame rail under the front fender would tell the whole story.
