Someone asked what would Wippet people do if T people used up all the Wippet radiators. Well here is one with the whole car behind it (well almost) I have no connection, but this is a neat little rig.

I dunno, but that's a really slick little car, or could be. That would have to be one fun little ride!
Just irritates the cowboy hell outta me when ding-dong sellers list their location as something like "Mason-Dixon Line", "America's Heartland", or "Down the road from Shirley". That really gives a potential buyer some much-needed infomation.
Whippet! Whippet Good!
That is a whippet engine behind the radiator, it may well be a whole whippet chassis. These motors are a really nicely designed item with bronze bearings and large journals, and were the predecessor to the cj3a engine (go devil). I have one in the shop right now all rebuilt and ready to go.

you must whippet....
Apparently the 4 cylinder engines were well built and stood up well. The problem with the Whippets were that the bodies did not seem to hold up well over time. The 6 cylinders that came out in 1929 were very well built and ran smoothly. The speedster on eBay does have some good ideas and looks era correct.
