I have a removable post coupe that has been in my family for many years and was told it belonged to my grandfather's aunt.It is titled as a 1920 with engine number matching but has a 1918 body.I would appreciate corresponding with other couplet owners.

Hello, Richard -- Welcome to the Forum. I'm currently restoring a 1915 Coupelet, and there are a few others here who have Coupelets. Yours with the removable post would be a '17 or '18. The engine probably was replaced at some time with the '20 vintage one. That was not at all unusual back in the day when folks were not accustomed to automobiles and didn't know about using antifreeze.
Give me a shout if you like at waterwalk99@hotmail.com or 479-790-4229.
I was about to suggest joining the NC HCCA that i am in... but then recognized your name! Hello Mr. Landes, I am Anthony Brights Son. We drive the 1914 Caddy. Small world huh?
Karen and I have a 1917 T Coupe with removable posts. We are not that far from you, in Afton, TN (near Johnson City). Dave
I'm working on preserving my grandfather's 16 Coupelet.
Here is a link to some photos.
