Haynes V-12 car on Facebook post

[lump]

Hey folks, I start out by admitting that I didn't even know that Haynes had a V-12 engine, until I saw this post on Facebook today. Apparently the owner of this Haynes bought it with a 6 cyl motor in it, but then found a like-new Haynes V-12, and installed that. Here is a link, if you would like to see it:

lump,

Haynes and Apperson are two of the most important pioneer automakers in the USA, so you saw an interesting car. If you go to your copy of The Standard Catalog of American Cars, 1805-1942, Vol. I, by H. Austin Clark, Jr. and Beverly Rae Kimes, you'll read that Haynes sold V-12 cars from 1916 to 1922 for $1,595 to $4,950.........and cars in general going back to 1897 and up to 1925. They sold more than 4,000 cars per year on 5 occasions.

Jeff, I do have that book, and will look that up. Thanks for your interesting reply. Now I shall show a bit more reverence to the Haynes radiator badge among my badge collection, for sure!

I wonder if the National also used the same V-12 engine.
