Fund Raiser: Help the Larz Anderson Museum send a Crown Jewel to Pebble Beach

[Guest T-Head]

The Larz Anderson Automobile Museum needs our readers, friends and car clubs help very soon. One of the crown jewels from the Larz Anderson Collection has been invited to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance this upcoming, August 19. There they will be sharing the car with the world of car collectors and the exposure they derive from it will help this very worthy and deserving museum immensely.

The Larz Anderson Auto Museum is a 501©3 nonprofit educational and cultural institution dedicated to the preservation of the varied collections including the world renowned Anderson Car Collection and to further educate the public on the automobile and its impact upon society through changing exhibits.

The Museum relies on the help and donations of people of like all of us to continue on with their mission. The transportation costs to the Concours and back for the car has all ready been taken care of. The car needs a new set of tires and tubes to safely make the 7000 mile transporter trip out and back without risking damage, as some of them are 75 years old or more.

Follow this link to The Old Motor where you can see more photos and learn all about the Museum and the upcoming fund raiser.

It would be nice to see a picture of the car, for those that would like to know what they are contributing to. .

Roger, Good point, and I also did not realize that the photos I posted before were not showing. I have but them back up along with a couple more here. The photos are just some teaser photos I took yesterday to stir up a little interest for them. As soon as the museum is ready I will do another post here with many photos of the whole car to kick off the fund raiser.

In the meantime we have much more info about it at The Old Motor. The car is here in our shop as we do volunteer work to help the museum with the cars. As soon as the museum gets their payment system set up with a better system than they have now they will be able to accept your contributions for the tires. Sorry for the confusion

In the meantime you can check out the museums very informative website and learn more about them. We have a post up today on The Old Motor that shows the opening of the museum in 1949.

I may well be off base , but it looks like a Locomobile roadster. A very well preserved original at that. Chain drive , big T head with large oval water plates on the top of the head. Not too early as it has spark plugs rather than igniters. ... Just a guess in response to your "teaser"

Could it be a 1907 Fiat 65HP Roadster?

Awesome, awesome, car......

You two are getting close and thanks for watching. It is taking the Museum longer than expected to get their online payment system hooked up.

As soon as they do we will will let all of you know what it is and I will post some great photos.

In the meantime check out the original Packard factory photos from the Rod Blood Collection they have that we have posted for them. You can see a

sample just below.
