JWdwrth Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I had a chance to see some cars which were participating in a reliability run from Spokane to Seattle. These cars were built between 1902 and 1914. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to find out the make and model year for most of them.The gallery is here:http://www.pbase.com/wdwrth/carsIf you can help me identify the make and/or model year of the ones I don't have that information for I'd appreciate it. If you can identify a car please leave a comment on that image or in the specific gallery.Jim Woodworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWdwrth Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Don, thank you! I'll get my web site updated sometime Tuesday morning. When you have a chance I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd take a look and see if I've updated each car's description correctly and let me know. I want to make sure I identify these beauties correctly.Anything else going on with antique autos in the Inland Northwest? I'd love to get more pictures.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWdwrth Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Thanks a lot Don. Maybe I'll see you in Waterville in July.Gotta love those old cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Thank you for linking these great photos here.Waterville, Washington is a perfect place for a vintage car gathering. It's one of those quiet little towns that makes one think he's stepped back into the 1940's. We were there for a three-day Buick Club tour on Sept. 11, and I'm certain that our arrival was the day's biggest event for that community. I would love to make it back there next July to see these beautiful early cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWdwrth Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Been through Waterville many times, delightful place. I hope I'll run into you (figuratively speaking) in Waterville next July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
