I came across this North Dakota Craigslist ad for a 1916 Oakland. I don't know if it's complete or not, but I thought that maybe one of you gents might possibly have an interest in it.

1916 Oakland Model 38

Interesting. I would be interested to know if it is the same car as this, it sounds and looks like it is. Sad to see that it is outside now...

My guess would be yes, it's the same car.

Yes, it has to be the same. I didn't know that the seller had already listed it on the forum. i apologize for duplicating his efforts. Still, I hope someone is up to the task of restoring it, or at least using it to help restore another one.

I came and looked at this car about six years ago. It is definitely a 1916 four cylinder Oakland. If memory serves, the owner wanted $2500. or thereabouts. It was inside an old barn on abandoned property. I was interested because of the rarity of the engine but the car was worse than rough. The frame was rotted in many spots, no wood for patterns and as rough as it looks in these pictures , it's worse in person. I walked away. I even had a trailer with me to take it home.
