jdome Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) "Chic Magnet" is so gosh. We had more respect for young women in my day and used the term "Babe Magnet". Today the proper term is "Cisgender, Binary Birthing Person Magnet". Kind of takes the romance out of it.

I'd say that young lady is probably more enamored with her handsome young fellow than with his wheels. Their smiles are wonderful.🙂 That model T speedster is about as basic as they get, but looks to be nicely done (except for no brake rod?). I found that photo so charming the first time I saw it that it has been a favorite of mine for several years now. I did have another picture of the same car, from another angle, but haven't seen it for a few years now. It may have been among some photos I lost in a computer meltdown a few years ago. I have several other model T speedster and girl photos on my computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHuDWah Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Dunno how magnetic it was, but my Dad's 61 Plymouth wagon was great for what followed once the chicks had been attracted. With the seats folded down, the cargo area was cavernous with a flat floor - a bedroom on wheels! 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatBird Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 A 1913 Marmon Speedster 48B does attract nice women! Atlanta Tyler Perry Concourse. The second picture is with Edith Mortimer, first owner. A wealthy and feisty New England socialite. Her goal was to travel to Europe and snag and marry Count and become a Countess. Her father asked what would keep her in the USA. She asked for this speedster, the only one made by Marmon in 1913. Can't find her picture. Still searching. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Dobbin Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) When I arrived in Germany on 1965 I saw tis Pre WWII style Mercedes from the bus window and bought it. Met a few Frauliens and my future wife while I owned it. Then, I upgraded to ths 57 Porsche Speedster. Kept the Speedster for 4 years and the wife. 56 years so far. Should have kept the Speedster too. Drove it 2 years in Germany and then 2 years in the USA. Saw lots of Europe and the USA in that car. Then, I bought her a 65 Mustang Deluxe Convertable and guys followed her for the next 24 years. I switched to Z-Cars Edited December 21, 2022 by Paul Dobbin (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937McBuick Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Those slide-out seats.... While they're one heck of a conversation piece I can't image riding in one on a dusty road. Were rumble seats dirty? I've never had the "pleasure" of riding in one. Thing is to own the car with those precarious seats, owners are "usually" the drivers. 😁 BUT....., a gentleman would never expect a "lady" to ride in those seats. A gentleman would give up his seat "in the car" for a lady. Anything less than a lady, of the fairer sex, can ride on the slide-outs, but I refuse to be the judge!

Ruger Sr., the firearms founder in the North. It wasn’t shown and he had bought it from the Harrisburg Zimmerman Autorama collection in Pennsylvania, which also didn’t show it . So I doubt that you saw this precise car. There are however three other 1923 Kissel Gold Bug Model 45’s with those seats, and another half dozen or so 1920-1922’s configured similarly. Mine is the only one with tan canvas. The others have black. So if you have a picture, you can tell. Thx .Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
