If you get a rig like this, you can get rid of all those trailers and tow vehicles. And you can legally carry 2 more passengers in the rear vehicle. Come to think of it, that's how I carried a Harley a little over 3k miles, from Duluth to Cocoa Beach, via NY...piggy back on my Escalade.

I spent five or six years trying to find a 1930 New York Automobile Show catalog but it paid off. Now I am seeking a 1930 Boston Automobile Show catalog and I won't give up. Any great cutaway shots you can share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Great to see the auto show program! thanks. There was a big big difference between the annual Salon and annual Auto Show. Different locations in the same city and the salon was not open for the general public to attend it was by invitation only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Neat! I have seen a few such things over the years. However, those sort of special show items rarely ended up on my side of the continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detailed chassis and cutaway engines and components have always been interesting to look at; even today. A notable chassis would be Studebakers gold-plated chassis from 1916/7. (Ads for it pop up from time to time on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1916-VTG-Antique-Automobile-Centerfold-Print-Ad-Studebaker-Golden-Chassis/264967184800?hash=item3db14661a0:g:H9kAAOSw-LJeRI7h ) Another is the clear Plexiglas 1940 Pontiac sedan which still survives.

I didn't take too many pictures before I put allot of it in storage. I hope they are enough to show you that I am not talking out my butt. These days people on the internet can say all kinds of stories, you know what I mean. Neat stuff..........I always wanted to try and make a cut away engine, but the time involved to do it correctly is almost unimaginable. You car looks great. Never doubted you. Restoring that chassis will be as much work as doing an entire car.......certainly worth it. Best, Ed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCK81403 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 What make and year is this automobile? The windshield has supporting rods, but the folding top has no stabilizing fasteners at the front. The top appears to be one large air scoop. The usual top bows can not be detected while there is a Rube Goldberg of supporting irons on the sides. Is this an after market top on the car? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where an IDENTICAL car is parked, in the origional carriage house. It hasn't run since the war. I have been trying to buy it since the 80's. It's the last great car I have been trying to land most of my life. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me 40 years to track down a car I've wanted ever since I got a ride in it. Can't be bought, owner has money and more isn't a motivator.

While admiring the rear flip up wind wing........,a gentleman came over to me and showed me how it worked, and explained he designed it in 1930 at the university of Michigan in the automotive engineering program as part of his graduation requirement. I was too young to get his name or take a picture.........thus a small piece of history is lost to time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
