Seeking Info: 1922-1923 Detroit Air-Cooled

[Guest Magoo]

I have collected a smallish amount of technical and historical info regarding the 1922-1923 Detroit Air-Cooled car (also known as D.A.C) and would like to ask you old hands around the AACA if you know the whereabouts of any surviving examples or further info. It's a rather interesting and unusual car. Thanks for your time and knowledge.

I have collected a smallish amount of technical and historical info regarding the 1922-1923 Detroit Air-Cooled car (also known as D.A.C) It's a rather interesting and unusual car.

It certainly is interesting, it has 115" w.b. and a 32 h.p. V-6 engine that weighs 192 pounds. Do you have any more photos?

A number of magazine articles on it are on Google Book.

Here's the engine -- fairly novel for the period. Air-cooled V6 with a 30 degree bank angle, individual finned cylinders ala aircraft design, overhead valves with rockerless pullrod actuation. As you say, the car generated some feature articles in the trade publications of the time, but didn't go a whole lot farther, apparently. Seeking any and all info.
