1925 Model 25

[56Roadmaster]

Have not been on here in a while. Earlier this year I ended up with the Model 25 that was listed in the buy/and sell posts back on April 4, 2018. Currently going through it mechanically, just a lot of maintenance type items. Did have it running, circled the yard with it, sounds good, nice and smooth and quiet. Plan to leave as is cosmetically with exception of top repair and seat upholstery. Distributor potmetal was gone, so I found a cast iron body from a 4 cylinder as suggested else where in these forums, fits perfect. Also have a 23 engine, and note that has a cast iron distributor as well - I checked it out and it would also have worked.

Cheers.

Scott, 

    Is this a model 25 or 25A(non folding top)?  You are in luck as I have a lot of technical information that I can send you that is specific to your car, as we have the same model.  Mine is also a model 25 and I have just completed the top and interior.  I have instructions for sewing both the top and and interior and you will want these instructions regardless if you are sewing this yourself or having someone else do the upholstery.  It would be best if I sent you files directly so PM me with your contact information.  I may also want to know some kind of order as to your needs, as what I have will overwhelm you as it has taken 6 years to put my car back together.  Glad that you have it running.       Hugh

 So glad you have your 1925 on the road again. We on the forum had a lot of discussion about the car when it first came up for sale. The Queens, NY.owner at the time would not answer questions.  I spoke to the next owner at an ice cream stop in central Conn. and I offered any help he needed.  I don't know if that was you.

  

 I saved most of the photos that were posted in the original sale ad.

Dibarlaw. Thank you for the pictures. No your meeting was not with me, it was likely with the man I bought it from, who it turns out I knew but had not seen in maybe 25 years, he has quite an eclectict collection of vehicles. 

We you involved in helping with the sale?

If you have other pics would love to have them, you could send via PM. 

I do not have it on the road yet. However, making steady progress for 2022.  Thanks. Scott.

 

Also I Tip my cap to Hugh!!! who has been very ethusiastic and helpful in sharing his wealth of knowledge on the model 25.

Scott:

PM with all the photos I had are sent.

I had tried to contact the fellow you purchased the car from to provide some assistance in getting it going for him but I never heard back.
