Mark Wetherbee Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I recently came across a watch fob advertising a Drexel and was curious to know if any automobiles still exist, I found pictures of the literature online but no cars. Does anyone know of any? Thanks in advance, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Please post a couple of photos of your watch fob. I have a small collection of them but have never seen a Drexel. Is there a makers name on the back of the fob? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hi Terry, it’s good and marked by Bastion Brothers. Took a bit to find the literature that shows the emblem. Here’s a picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46 woodie Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The Drexel Motor Car Corp. was based in Chicago IL, between 1916 and 1917. Only two models were offered. A Model 5-40 Touring car and a Model 7-60 Roadster. At $985 it was hard to compete with the Model T. It doesn't list production numbers but they probably were very small.

Terry Bond Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Wow, thats great. Thanks for posting. I always look at the back of fobs and without a makers name, quickly loose interest. Ebay is littered with fakes, but this one is absolutely correct. Gotta be a rare one.' Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
