Angelfish Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) A beautiful dark green phaeton. Edit: This could be it, but I'd have to trace it back: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/26618/lot/204/ I was able to track down his 1913 Mercer Runabout, sold recently: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/26618/lot/142/ His other cars that I know of included 1902 Oldsmobile, black 1910 Maytag, original paint, dark red 1932 Chrysler rumble seat, brown and orange Model T, seem to remember it as red Along with an early Harley Davidson and a Curtiss Marvel He had many others but these were the ones that I helped work on at his home in northwestern Montana in the early 1990s. I don't have any photos or further information. I could probably identify a particular repair on the Maytag if I ever saw it again. And if the Chrysler has remained untouched there is an ill fated blemish on one of the fenders. Just curious what happened to his amazing collection.

Angelfish Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 I did find a snapshot of the Auburn. I know I took others but this is the only one that has turned up. This would have been taken in Montana in about 1992. Under the blue cover to the right you can see the rear fender of the 1913 Mercer Runabout.
