alsancle Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 So, which car is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 He says its a V-5........so a 1924 or 1925 series car...........dash looks modern as does the cockpit........is it real? or a rebody? No idea, but asking Mike K you will get your answer in five seconds flat. Couldn't find any photos of it on line.......since I have never seen any photos of it, and nothing published on line........best guess is new coachwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bodywork is show in the video looks crude so I tend to agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucketofBolts Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Off HYW 50 in Sacramento close to Folsom in the early 1990s there was a dealer that had as one of his vehicles for sale a lime colored Cunningham roadster supposedly once owned by a famous boxer in the early 1900s. I think the car was a mid-1920s model. The asking price was high. Anyone have an idea what happened to the vehicle? The showroom was closed down many years past and replaced with a furniture store.

alsancle Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Painted rims & hubs, stainless spokes? As early as 1928? And in color. So a post war photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks the same except they touched up the paint on the front fender. Edited June 16, 2021 by K8096 (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 They don’t. The Stearns is a fine machine, the Cunningham is a well made truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaewh Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 As an owner of a Cunningham, I'm confused by these comments. Not impressive ride compared to what? I have a modern car that gets me around quite comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Cunningham cars cars are fine, rare, unusual, well built CCCA Classic's. They in my opinion, are "heavy" handling. In my world......and please understand, this is only me interpretation of how I collect cars.......... I want cars that are comfortable to do 200 to 300 miles per day. The Cunningham is more of a 75 mile per day car.......and at the end of the 75 you will feel it. I like the upstate New York connection, and their in house coachwork was better than average in style and quality for the era. The Cunningham speedsters are particularly attractive car........

Michaewh Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Thank you for that additional context. Hopefully, I'll manage with my 1919, Inside Drive Limousine. I'm planning a drive from Southern California to Norther Idaho over a 10 day period (~150 miles per day). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the roads, 150 a day isn't terrible......leave early while it's cool. An inside drive limo is going to be very warm at best..............post photos of your trip....a Cunningham doing that kind of milage is unheard of in the last fifty years.
