Terry Bond Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1904-Other-Makes-/272826990112?hash=item3f85c17e20:g:iA8AAOSwe09Zpv86&vxp=mtr Not sure about this - I'm seeing some home-made stuff here, but maybe that's the way it was. Does anyone know anything about this vehicle? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Looks to be missing major parts of the drive train. Pic is Standard Catalog sort of looks like it except for wire wheels instead of wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 That rear axle looks all wrong. Are those "T" wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer09 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 looks like seller paid 550. for it................... not bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm sure those are Model T wheels, much later as they are demountable from the 20's. Would love to see pics of the engine. Yes that rear end assembly looked like it was a part of something else. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Engine/motor - the "go" device. Wonder why they are not showing a picture of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Terry, come on, just buy the thing and you do not have one of these. It could truly be the "Bond" car!!! Go device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Well....there IS a Berwick electric listed in the chart of car manufacturers, but no photo in my book. Edited August 31, 2017 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV Puleo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) If it was "fixed up" a long time ago, chances are Model T tires were all that could be had. Quite a few very early cars got T wheels just because you could get tires for them. I'm not saying it's real... just that the Model T wheels don't disqualify it.

Terry Bond Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 It would make an interesting "toy" and it's probably not going to be expensive, but like everyone else, garage space is tight. Once we add on though, there might be room for something else interesting. Let's see now, Susan bought the last one (MGTC) so it's my turn. Meantime though, if it doesn't fit on a shelf it will have to wait a while. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Wurke Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Had a friend with a Sizaire-Berwick several years ago. It was a big luxury car that was made in France from 1913 until 1927. NO RESEMBLANCE !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Popadak Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 The car was in our local state swap and sellers guide over the winter. I emailed and got a youtube video. I have an unrestored 1910 Maxwell AA (2 cylinder) all apart. The axles and the frame were a dead ringer for Maxwell, circa A series, 1909-1912. There was a drive chain that went through the round driveshaft hole of the rear axle, the arrangement didn't match to me. The body appeared to be made of plywood and was much bigger and didn't fit to the frame too well at all. I was told that the car was an electric but I got no sense of what the electric motor was. I presume it was newer. I don't believe the car was originally 1904 or electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer09 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I requested photos of the motor and it is a newer motor. At this point, this is nothing more then a dream of someones imagination, but certainly fun for very little money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 The Berwick was an electric car manufactured in Grand Rapids, Michigan, by the Berwick Auto Car Company in 1904. The Berwick was an electric two-seater runabout selling for $750. It had three speed positions, was tiller operated, and had a top speed of 15 mph (24 km/h). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
