caf Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I was reading the excellent article on the Van Horneff American. I noticed that the bore and stroke dimensions did not compute to the C.U. displacement. A little research shows the bore to be 5 3/8 and the stroke to be 5 1/2. Just a tad more then 5X5. A very minor point, not to detract from a fine article. (don't you just hate nitpickers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Would it kill you to let us know were this fine article was printed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 That bore and stroke would give you about 115 cubes per cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 The article, Ebert's artwork and great photography are in the latest issue of the Antique Automobile. This is just the type of stuff that makes the publication worth the dues even if you never do anything else with AACA. Earlier this month Steve M. indicated there may be more to the story, hope to hear it either here or in a future issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poci1957 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I really enjoyed that story too, especially the beautiful photography and the Christmas cover. West outdoes himself once again, thanks again for your efforts! Todd C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Steve, the OP had no mention were the article was printed, that is why I asked. I've seen all the Deemer cars, one lives 30 minutes up the road friom me. The American Underslung is a fine car, but I'd rather have a 1912 Regal like the one my grandfather drove when it was new.
