George Albright 167 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Price: $2,800 Up for sale is something I have never shown publicly,nor offered forsale. It is an extremely rare original rear entrance tonneau body fora 1899, 1900,1901,1902,1903,1904,1905 veteran London to Brightoneligible VCCGB car. I bought it from a gentleman that had fullyrestored a circa 1903 Brennan,and did not wish to put the tonneau bodyon his car. Instead he showed it as a roadster. Brennan was built in Syracuse N.Y. the home also of Franklin autos. In 1902,1903,1904,and1905 especially,companies like Autocar,Packard,Peerless,PierceArrow,Stevens Duryea,Knox,Rambler,Ford,Olds,Oldsmobile,Cadillac,Reo,Glide,Apperson,RoyalTourist,Elmore,Panhard,Daraacq,etc.offered cars that could either be 2seat roadsters speedsters,or add the tonneau body and make it a 4 or 5passenger touring car. Most were made of wood. This one is metal overa wood frame. Some of the wood appears replaced,but themetal,hardware,door,lock and latch,etc. appears original andexcellent. One of the rear seat bottoms is missing. The very bottom ofthe seat base on the outside is 50 inches across. The rear door is 281/2 inches high,and 14 inches wide. Facing the front of the seatassembly,the very front of it is 41 inches from outside edge tooutside edge. The back of the seat assembly on the top at its widestpart is 55 inches across.The bottom wood can be cut and adjusted tofit your car. I have seen only one other of these for sale loose in 20years of collecting early cars. This makes your car a 4 passengercar,and it looks twice as large! Will deliver to Hershey in Oct. forfree,but must be fully paid for now.
