Cadillac Fan Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) 8 hours ago, ericmac said: J-111, a Lebaron Phaeton was a demonstrator car used by the Los Angeles dealership. Eventually Irving Gilmore bought the car and it has become the crown jewel of the Gilmore Car Museum's permanent collection. In 1984 an exhaustive restoration was started and at the time a fateful decision was made, not to restore the car using authentic colors, a color scheme that nearly matched the Cooper car. I think Gilmore made the correct decision. FYI , while I believe that Irving S Gilmore did have a car collection, it was Donald Gilmore,a brother , that started the Gilmore Car Museum.

Guest Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) This one reminds me of the summer of 1970 in Birds Hill Park in Winnipeg. We had a picnic and when we returned to the car I had a flat. Here I am changing the tire being overseen by three nieces while my brother-in-law inspected the radiator cap.

cxgvd Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I have viewed every photo in this thread though I have not had anything to contribute, until now. My friend restored a 1923 Gray Dort and he had an original photograph of the same make and model taken near the Gray Dort factory in Chatham, On. This afternoon we drove the car about 40 miles for the first trip to the location where the original photo was taken nearly a hundred years ago.

Walt G Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Gary, that is just so really neat that you were able to create the same photo in the same place with the same car. So happy the car survived AND the building as well. WOW Thank you for sharing this with us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes it was Donald Gilmore not Irving who founded the Gilmore Car Museum. Duh! Sleeplessness will do that to a guy. I should know as I used to be an advisory board member at GCM. I too was there at GCM for the first CCCA Experience featuring Duesenberg in 1987. That was a fabulous show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Spong Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 My father, Frederick Spong age 23, riding his 1938 Coventry Eagle motor cycle on patrol while serving with the Home Guard in the summer of 1940 when an invasion by Nazi Germany was expected to take place at any time. Fortunately this never happened but it was a very real threat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Any guesses what make that roadster on the railroad causeway was? Removing the left front fender must have been done to see how to steer without becoming hung-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
