The HCCA inventory list a photo and possiably some detials of an unrestored 1902 Thomas, I'm very intrested in see the photo and article as it was about 1948 when ours was discivered in a barn so this could (hopefully) be our car.

Any help greatly appericated.

Hi Russell, Kean Thompson here - Toowoomba Queensland. I have that June 1949 issue of HCG. I have scanned the Thomas and it is attached herewith. I can also e-mail you a copy and do a photocopy if you wish. Send me an e-mail - I probably have an old one from you but send us an update and I'll attach what I can.

Hi Kean

Thanks for the photo. The car is a Thomas but a 1903 model 18, ours is the model 17 which was the first run that E R Thomas did after taking over the management of the buffalo Auto Co, (he was already the major shareholder) and re-naming it the E R Thomas Motor Co. They introduced the first ?Flyer? model in 1904.

Ours is general regarded as the oldest Thomas known to still exist. I know the detailed history of our car from 1962 till now and sketchy history form about 1948, I was hoping this photo may have solidified something?s but alas not!

Thanks again any way.
