'ow much for the ol' banger in the background? The one wifout a hood?
Great photo Bob.
From that angle there is an awful lot of engine and bonnet (sorry hood) in front of the driver!
Just needs some fresh air in the tires.
Where is that K now? Looks like an A or AC in the background. The photo looks as if it dates from the mid 1930s. Where was it taken?
This is a 1908 ''K'' #882. Picture possible taken soon after being found in 1948.
THIS ROOF STYLE IS CALLED A ''VICTORIA''.
You may note how far back the front seat is . The rear of the front seat is 2ft from the rear chassis cross member
This cross member is the end of the chassis and is situated in front of the rear seat. The remaining body structure over hangs the chassis rear ward at the cross member. Thus the door catch is designed with a hook built in it to stop the door coming open when rear sear is loaded with passengers.
According to another K historian, this K was purchased from an IL used car lot in 1948. It is listed at that time as a red touring car. Wonder where it is today?

Try Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum, anyone have any pictures?
Mark
The last records i have on ''K''#882say that a D, Peck purchased the car from the above pictured used car yard in 1948.
It was restored then by W.Heater and sold to a Dr,Belfand to be then sold on to a Dick Williams whom donated it to the CRAWFORD MUSEUM.
Just as a side note: A hood-less K would make a heck of a Speedster. If anybody knows of one lingering in a barn, available for peanuts, let me know . . .

The Crawford museum in Cleveland, Ohio has been down sizing and selling cars. The last time I was there I don't remember seeing a K car.
