Peter Zobian Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Does anyone have the 1953 sales records for Car importers Fergus Motors of New York City? I have a 1953 Morgan +4 roadster (NC), chassis #p2665, motor #V597ME, with a Fergus Motors ID plate #14045. I would love to know who was the first owner of this car. Can anyone help? Please send me a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Zobian Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 My 1953 Morgan +4 roadster was imported to the US by Fergus Motors in NYC, and I purchased it as a used car in Flint, Michigan in 1965. At the time I was living in East Lansing, Michigan. So, I have owned it for 56 years, but still don't know who was the original owner. Morgan records do not show this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Zobian Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 We restored it and painted it a 1949 Studebaker color I like, called "Tulip Creme", installed a new black interior by Barbara Willburn, had the original Standard Vanguard engine rebuilt by John Willburn. All new proper blackwall tires on original 16" wheels. and new chrome where needed. I have yet to install the wipers, and I also have a sheep-skin lined belt for the engine cover that I haven't installed. I also own a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr V-12 Sedan once owned by James Hetfield and a rare early 1936 "Slant-back" Ford Convertible Sedan, all restored, out of Texas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bollman Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Fergus must have had their fingers in a lot of makes. They were a Crosley dealership at least in the PreWar years, maybe to the end. I found this Fergus plate on a PreWar Crosley glovebox. It was lightly modified and have never been sure if it was done by the dealer or an owner along the way.

g-g-g0 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) I was recently trying to track down a Healey Westland that I had owned in the 70’s just to see if it still existed. One of 60 + built and only 3 or 4 brought to the US. I was told that Fergus Motors was the importer. I did connect with an early Healey authority that might be able to help. He was very knowledgeable of Healey’s that had come through Fergus. I can connect you if you PM me. A picture of the Healey I once owned. Oh where oh where could it be?? Was sold to a gentleman in Naperville, IL. Edited October 26, 2022 by g-g-g0 Spelling (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
