Hello all,

Does anyone out there know where the 1910 touring car is that was part of the Jess Blaker collection? The car was previously owned and restored by my father Roy Lindstedt who sold the car to Jess in 1980. I've come across a few pictures of the car and would like to share them with the current owner along with some of the history that I know of. The car was sold at the Blaker auction (2006?), and for some reason was missing the coil box and rear seat cushion. At the time the car was green with black fenders and had older straight-ribbed white Universal tires. Any leads are appreciated. Thanks! Erik Lindstedt

Erik I attended the Blaker auction and bid on the car you refer to. It sold for just over my bid of $24K and I always thought it was the buy of the auction. I didn't bid higher because I already owned a 10. I didn't know the high bidder but think it was the same fellow from Oregon who purchased a lot of cars there. Maybe he'll chime in.

BTW, many parts were stolen from the auction cars before bidding took place. An employee of Blaker was implicated but never brought to justice no doubt because the heirs were tickled with the prices most cars brought.
