K8096 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Was at a local show today and this showed up. A 1948 Davis. I had seen pictures of these before, but never seen one in person. I was surprised by how big it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Here's the one I used to own, in "as found" condition. That little Hercules engine was awful, although some were equipped with larger and better engines. That center wheel hit every bump on the middle ridge of a road. I did get it restored, amateur style, and drove it. I've said this before, it's the only car I've ever owned that LITERALLY stopped traffic! It's just so unusual compared to most any other car ever made. 20090408130857576_0001.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryB Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I think Jay Leno also owns a Davis auto. Saw him driving one on his CNBC tv show. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike6024 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 That bench seat can accommodate 4 adult males sitting side-by-side; keep your hands to yourself though, no hanky-panky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
